... often difficult to accurately determine the shapes of some distant objects. Others argue that where an object is located or what it is made of do matter and there should not be a concern with dynamics; that is, whether or not an object sweeps up or scatters away its immediate neighbors, or holds them in stable orbits.

👉So, the lively #planethood debate continues.👈"

Hubble Captures a Peculiar Spiral Galaxy.

A beautiful, yet distorted, spiral galaxy shines in this image from NASA/ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope. The galaxy, named Arp 184 or NGC 1961, is located about 190 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Camelopardalis (The Giraffe).

An excellent video by Dr. Becky Smethurst on the claims that a hypothetical bio signature molecule DMS has been detected in the atmosphere of the exoplanet K2-18b.

TLDR; nope.

Young Star Cluster NGC 346

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2505/jwst-ngc346-800.png

The most massive young star cluster in the Small Magellanic Cloud is NGC 346, embedded in our small satellite galaxy's largest star forming region some 210,000 light-years distant. Of course the massive stars of NGC 346 are short lived, but very energetic. Their winds and radiation sculpt the edges of the region's dusty molecular cloud triggering star-formation within. The star forming region also appears to contain a large population of infant stars. A mere 3 to 5 million years old and not yet burning hydrogen in their cores, the infant stars are strewn about the embedded star cluster. This spectacular infrared view of NGC 346 is from the James Webb Space Telescope's NIRcam. Emission from atomic hydrogen ionized by the massive stars' energetic radiation as well as molecular hydrogen and dust in the star-forming molecular cloud is detailed in pink and orange hues. Webb's sharp image of the young star-forming region spans 240 light-years at the distance of the Small Magellanic Cloud.
