That's nine planets around a sun, right? Looks like the sun has some kind of nebula. Is that flare or something?
James Webb Telescope is Observing 'young' Galaxies from when the Universe was only 25% the age it is now. This will likely give new insights on the evolution of our Universe and refine theories of galaxy evolution.

This is one of those things normies like me kinda understand, what with how light travels through the vast cosmos of space and its not instantaneous obviously so the light that is reaching the telescope is like billions of years old but... still pretty weird when you think about it.
James Webb telescope reveals Milky Way–like galaxies in young universe
New images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal for the first time galaxies with stellar bars—elongated features of stars stretching from the centers of galaxies into their outer disks—at a time when the universe was a mere 25% of its present age. The finding of so-called barred...

Sometimes we forget just how far we’ve come as a species in a mere few centuries. I think by 2179 we’ll have visited all of those worlds at this rate. Ion Drives, Nuclear Propulsion, SpaceX’s Starship, etc, will usher in a new age of colonisation and exploration.
Just need to figure out the wormhole stuff, and then it’s empire of a million worlds time, lads!
We could arleady be there with Orion Drive.
And now - if leftist win,there would be no space exploration.If China win,there would be chineese space,not ours.
Pity,That USA fallen.They were our last hope.
But,if few normal states survive,one of them could do that,but not till 2179.

Cracks on Pluto's moon Charon may be evidence of a frozen subsurface ocean
The icy volcanism of Charon may be caused by its internal ocean freezing, expanding, and cracking the outer shell of the moon if it was thinner than expected.

Whelp. Only twenty three years left for Earth. Has a good run but I guess we were about to peak. Hope we can make good petrochemical products someday for the Octopi or Crows or whoever evolved next.
And Uhhh Happy Valentines Day if I forget then!

"Mister Meteor! Tear down this city!"
It's only 160 ft wide; if they think it is going to impact, they can redirect it like they did with the DART mission.
And if that doesn't work, it's small enough blowing it into chunks that will burn up as they come in not that hard.
A man can dream, tho. A man can dream...
