Jupiter in NIR (thanks to JWST) vs Visible 🫣 Who wins? #spaceart

Canada thrives because we are Canadian.

This is a new image of comet 3I/ATLAS, showing the development of a long tail of dust and gas as the object gets closer to the Sun. As a reminder, the "I" in 3I/ATLAS stands for "interstellar". Because this comet formed around a different star and is OLDER THAN THE SOLAR SYSTEM

FACT THREAD on New Interstellar Object #A11pl3Z This story unfolded pretty fast yesterday for a few reasons. The object was discovered on July 1st UTC by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, or ATLAS team. A #NASA funded survey at the University of Hawaii. atlas.fallingstar.com 🔭🧪

In about three hours, NASA's Parker Solar Probe will swoop just 4 million miles above the Sun at 0.064% the speed of light. It's the first of three final dives that will bring the spacecraft closer to a star than we've ever visited. Story by me in SciAm www.scientificamerican.com/article/nasa...

If you told me 18 years ago, you not only will study astronomy but also combine your newfound passion of STEM education into a career… and after 12+ years in the field you will be awarded King Charles III Coronation Medal, I would have laughed hard… 😅 Now I am sitting here shedding happy tears 🥲

Auroras have been on my mind lately… not only because I had an amazing opportunity to work in a rockstar Solar Terrestrial Sciences team this year but also with the insane displays that the Sun has blessed us with! Here’s a shot taken with my iPhone of October 12 display from London, Ontario:
