It seems like we are getting closer and closer to a “Well, wish I wouldn’t have seen that moment.”

When we see a Sci Fi movie unfolding through one of these telescope shots.

Always.

Until it is. Hopefully, we’ll be getting some atmosphere analyses soon of exoplanets. This will be the greatest possibility of discovering alien life using this telescope.

It’s a great time to be alive. We are at the threshold of both discovering life in space and designing sentient artificial intelligence.

That space tree is at least 16 years old.

Don't dying stars 'pulsate' and shed matter before collapsing? Seems like I read that somewhere

Looks more like a hexagon at an angle similar to the atmosphere at the north pole of Saturn.

Welp, didn't take them long to break that new toy. My Viewmaster started doing that a week after Christmas when I threw it at my brothers head in 1972.

Interesting tidbit, many ancient sites (including some of the mound structures in Louisiana) are aligned to the setting of the Cygnus constellation during the winter and summer solstices.

Pretty sure it is a binary star with an asymmetrical, elliptical orbit.
When the stars get close, they peel off more material from each other than at the farthest point of their orbit.
Thus, you have dense and thin layers of solar winds and solar material.

Yes, they do. This may be one that is “huffing” instead of puffing. If it is the case it would a remarkable discovery of regularity. Finding out why might launch many Ph. D. dissertations around the world.

Good eye. The formation of geometrical shapes might be more natural than thought.
