Across the Universe - When it was a just-born
It seems yesterday (sob!)

Confirmed now to be 13.8 billion years (± 0.1%) before Internet, this kid is still growing-expanding since, at a confirmed rate of 67 - 68 km /second/megaparsec (± 3.26 million light years), i.e a galaxy at one megaparsec from Earth is receding from us at 67 to 68 kms/sec (± 241-245 000 km/h, just a little faster than my moped).

You know we love 1) Neptune (love them nep-toots) & Aurora, so this new image from #JWST is *perfection*

If you too love Neptune, check out our episode on the Nereids, where we explore some of Neptune's moons: starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/

If you love aurora, check out our episode on the science & lore of Earth's aurora: starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/

Awww, every time I see an image from #Hubble now, the first thing I think is, "Aw, bless."

(As opposed to #JWST, at which I often goggle in utter amazement.)

All joking aside, they've both been great advances for humanity and for science.

I'm a big fan of any and all #space news and cool space photos, but still, since the JWST went up, it really has been knocking my socks off!

Perhaps a little understated compared to other #astrophotography in the #constellation Centaurus, but I liked this one!

This is NGC 4696 as imaged by the #hubble space telescope

You can learn all about the #constellation #Centaurus in our latest #podcast here: starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/

The #Hubble Ultra Deep Field in Light and Sound

Explore the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field in a new way: hover over the image to hear sonified distances. Each #galaxy's redshift is represented by a tone—the further away, the lower the pitch. The average galaxy, 10.6 billion light-years away, plays an F#. Can you find the most distant one?
