It has been two years today since the James Webb Space Telescope captured iconic image of the Pillars of Creation back in 2022.
These are the latest images of Pillars of Creation by James Webb Space Telescope
Webb has captured a lush, highly explicit landscape – the iconic Pillars of Creation – where new stars are established within heavy clouds of gas and dust.
The three-dimensional pillars look like elegant rock formations but are far more permeable.
These columns are made up of cool interstellar gas and dust that appear – at times – semi-transparent in near-infrared light.
The nebula, discovered in 1745, is located 7,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Serpens.
Webb’s new view of the Pillars of Creation, which were first made famous when imaged by Hubble Space Telescope in 1995, will help researchers revamp their models of star formation by identifying far more precise counts of newly formed stars, along with the quantities of gas and dust in the region. Over time, they will begin to build a clearer understanding of how stars form and burst out of these dusty clouds over millions of years.

Hubble Space Telescope made the Pillars of Creation famous with its first image in 1995 but revisited the scene in 2014 to reveal a sharper, wider view in visible light, shown above at left.
A new, near-infrared-light view from James Webb Space Telescope, at right, helps us peer through more of the dust in this star-forming region. The thick, dusty brown pillars are no longer as opaque and many more red stars that are still forming come into view.
This is Science North in Sudbury, Ontario reflected in Lake Ramsay. I thought it was interesting, and perhaps a little ironic, to include 'The Stack' in the background as it puffed out plumes of smoke over the science museum.

Jellybean and her friend Tori playing with the science kit she got for her birthday. This is just a simple cornstarch and water experiment to teach about the difference between liquids and solids.

The boys and I have been doing some experiments with crystal growing during the holidays. We still have several more bags of salts to dissolve and grow so maybe some more to photos to come.
The scientific study of crystals and crystal formation is known as crystallography.
The process of crystal formation is called crystallization or solidification.
Photos from the March for Science in San Francisco, California, on April 22, 2017. Definitely the smartest signs of any protest I've ever seen.
A planetarium is in the foreground, observatories are towards the back. The observatories are open for free viewing on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Most of my favorite books are SF&F novels. As a consequence I regularly read books in English, since this is the main stream language of SF. With this picture I don't want to provoke a discussion between science fiction and fantasy. To me they are complementary.
