The Cartwheel Galaxy’s ring formed when a smaller galaxy pierced a large spiral, sending a density wave through space. This collision compressed gas and dust, triggering the intense star formation seen in its outer rim.

@science.socialSolar filaments are dense plasma clouds held by magnetic fields. They appear as dark threads on the sun or bright prominences against space. These can erupt as CMEs, making them vital for predicting space weather.
@flatironinstitute.orgWe're #hiring for postdoctoral research positions at our Center for Computational Astrophysics (CCA)! Come do independent research in areas that have strong synergy with CCA or other Flatiron Institute centers.

@ioppublishing.bsky.socialDid you know that far-out objects in our Solar System can "remember" their past 🪐?
Researchers analyzed the color, composition, and size distribution of 27 bodies on the outskirts of our Solar System 🔭. What they found defied expectations 🔗: https://ow.ly/jRET50ZMISM #astrophysics #astronomy
@science.socialSaturn: 1993 - 2022
Thirty years of high-res imaging document Saturn’s seasonal shifts and ring tilt. These cycles help astronomers decode the complex atmospheric dynamics of gas giants.

@sophiejaggers.bsky.socialWhile I was reading some papers about Przybylski's Star, I became interested in the mechanism of roAp stars. What is the cause of these pulsations? #Astrophysics #Stars #VariableStars #ChemicallyPeculiarStars
@science.socialM51, the Whirlpool Galaxy, is a stunning grand-design spiral 31 million light-years away. Interaction with companion NGC 5195 triggers density waves, sparking star formation across its arms and offering a look at galactic evolution.
@science.socialThe Cocoon Nebula (IC 5146) is a stellar nursery 4,000 light-years away in Cygnus. This deep field shows emission, reflection, and absorption nebulae, where hot stars ionize gas and dust lanes of Barnard 168 fuel new star formation. #space #astronomy #astrophysics

@cosmicbrief.bsky.socialEveryone said Betelgeuse was about to explode. Turns out a secret companion star was photobombing it the whole time. 🌟 Were you team supernova?
