Newborn stars peek out from beneath their natal blanket of dust in this dynamic image of the Rho Ophiuchi dark cloud from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. Called "Rho Oph" by astronomers, it's one of the closest star-forming regions to our own solar system. Located near the constellations Scorpius and Ophiuchus, the nebula is about 407 light years away from Earth.
Rho Oph is a complex made up of a large main cloud of molecular hydrogen, a key molecule allowing new stars to form from cold cosmic gas, with two long streamers trailing off in different directions. Recent studies using the latest X-ray and infrared observations reveal more than 300 young stellar objects within the large central cloud. Their median age is only 300,000 years, very young compared to some of the universe's oldest stars, which are more than 12 billion years old.
This false-color image of Rho Oph's main cloud, Lynds 1688, was created with data from Spitzer's infrared array camera, which has the highest spatial resolution of Spitzer's three imaging instruments, and its multiband imaging photometer, best for detecting cooler materials. Blue represents 3.6-micron light; green shows light of 8 microns; and red is 24-micron light. The multiple wavelengths reveal different aspects of the dust surrounding and between the embedded stars, yielding information about the stars and their birthplace.
The colors in this image reflect the relative temperatures and evolutionary states of the various stars. The youngest stars are surrounded by dusty disks of gas from which they, and their potential planetary systems, are forming. These young disk systems show up as red in this image. Some of these young stellar objects are surrounded by their own compact nebulae. More evolved stars, which have shed their natal material, are blue.
The extended white nebula in the center right of the image is a region of the cloud which is glowing in infrared light due to the heating of dust by bright young stars near the right edge of the cloud. Fainter multi-hued diffuse emission fills the image. The color of the nebulosity depends on the temperature, composition and size of the dust grains. Most of the stars forming now are concentrated in a filament of cold, dense gas that shows up as a dark cloud in the lower center and left side of the image against the bright background of the warm dust. Although infrared radiation at 24 microns pierces through dust easily, this dark filament is incredibly opaque, appearing dark even at the longest wavelengths in the image.

"Wilderness of Your Weight"
i bought a blue dress so i could slip into the sky;
to cradle tangibility with camouflage,
dusk’s disappearance transpiring, the poison seeping, pooling around my ribs.
begging for affection from anyone while indian summer rain races towards wet earth,
feeling the wilderness of your weight.
blue fades,
to midnight,
to three.
i’ve heard death is like water.
and you were born in the morning.
your tiny eyelashes painting a silver sunset inside our mother.
settling like cobalt ash raining onto my shoulders.
unearthing blue
you are the other woman and your voice is strong and wild when it billows in the wind, dissipating like grey confetti.
i hear it in oregon, speaking amongst the thunder.
(the rain sounds like a skittish heart)
i hear your gentle whisper embedded in my sheets (always).
how on earth can you harness love?
such became a death sentence,
your shadow of silver, holding my body in the light.
i feel you deepest when i want love the most.

Black sports car in the chute, and Somerville Ladder 1!!!! at Chelsea Central, with Engine 2 from Chelsea too......Major sign, don't you think? Green bicyclist at One Canal, and its the inverse of Chelsea rescue...and they redid the Puppy place.
Global Tomorrow still in the Mystic, maybe it never goes. Woman with Purple hair. She was on the bus with me, and got off before Haymarket, that's when I noticed her hair, she went to the BrickYard, when I blonde woman went by the other way. Marathon stuff at City Hall, and an Orange marker top cut off and marker on the ground, like Everlast yesterday. Runner and Bicycle too....ladder still up from flood, over a week ago. Jet stream over where I work, and also the Garden of Peace, because it is right behind it. Environmental Police at the Garden of Peace?....on a Sunday?? Blue Jay!! in the birch tree...and never made a sound, and stayed a long time. the Rose got moved to Donovan [Atlantis] and the bicycle is slipping, again.
Strike still on, over corporate greed?? no specifics.....much smaller area too. Another cone down, and a nip is back.... AND!! Boston Fire D-3 right after.......same one as the Blade video, in comment. She always backs it up, at the markers too. Fiat.
Land shark billboard and then there is one, same exact colors and!! with Fallon Ambulance [last in comment], can't miss it. Unicorn too.....and a knot! Heading home the Black Lotus was on North Washington Street, and I missed it. So I stayed on the bus to go back and get it.....and I got off the same place the woman with the Purple hair did earlier, like she knew or something.
That Black Lotus is incredible, really!! First saw the exact same one on May 28, 2015, with the hole and other stuff, marked in collage with that date. That day after I got to work my lip bled, twice. A whole lot too, about five minutes each time. No cut or anything, just blood, and lots of it. I never bleed, and the woman I work with saw it too....it was sooooo strange....and today it was back,and across from One Canal, which had the DeJanna truck last week.
the knot is second from last in comment, and its a flag, like Robert Mapplethorpe, which I did a gallery for yesterday.... and includes his flag photo.

"Through a Mirror Darkly."
After the Terran Empire conquered the Klingon Federation, Warp-Ship scientists and designers took on the Federation's workhorse ship and adapted it to "Earther" ways. With warp nacelles embedded into the wings, this ship design seemed to the Terran Empire to encompass the best of both types of designs.

To: You, From: The Universe 🎁
This beautiful new image from Webb is a gift from a past star. In near-infrared light, supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A) resembles a shiny ornament.
With its powerful vision, Webb can detect the tiniest knots of sulfur, oxygen, argon and neon gas from the star. Embedded in the gas are dust and molecules that will eventually become part of new stars and planets.
See that blob in the bottom right? Scientists have nicknamed it Baby Cas A since it looks like a tiny version of Cas A itself. Baby Cas A is a light echo: Light from the supernova has reached and is warming the distant dust in this blob. Although Baby Cas A appears very close to Cas A, it’s actually about 170 light-years behind the supernova remnant.
Since its launch nearly two years ago, Webb has consistently awed us with its wondrous views of the universe. We’re looking forward to a new year of stunning science and imagery to come.

This image highlights several interesting features of supernova remnant Cassiopeia A as seen with Webb’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera):
1. NIRCam’s exquisite resolution is able to detect tiny knots of gas, comprised of sulfur, oxygen, argon, and neon from the star itself. Some filaments of debris are too tiny to be resolved even by Webb, meaning they are comparable to or less than 10 billion miles across (around 100 astronomical units). Researchers say this represents how the star shattered like glass when it exploded.
2. Circular holes visible in the MIRI image within the Green Monster, a loop of green light in Cas A’s inner cavity, are faintly outlined in white and purple emission in the NIRCam image—this represents ionized gas. Researchers believe this is due to the supernova debris pushing through and sculpting gas left behind by the star before it exploded.
3. This is one of a few light echoes visible in NIRCam’s image of Cas A. A light echo occurs when light from the star’s long-ago explosion has reached, and is warming, distant dust, which is glowing as it cools down.
4. NIRCam captured a particularly intricate and large light echo, nicknamed Baby Cas A by researchers. It is actually located about 170 light-years behind the supernova remnant.
Image description: The image is split into 5 boxes. A large image at the left-hand side takes up most of the image. There are four images along the right-hand side in a column, labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4. The 4 images in the column are zoomed-in areas of the larger square image on the left. The image on the left has a circular-shaped cloud of gas and dust with complex structure, with an inner shell of bright pink and orange filaments that look like tiny pieces of shattered glass. A zoom-in of this material appears in the box labeled 1. Around the exterior of the inner shell in the main image there are wispy curtains of gas that look like campfire smoke. Within the cavity of the inner shell, there are small circular bubbles outlined in white. Box 2 is a zoom-in on these circles. Scattered outside the nebula in the main image, there are also clumps of yellow dust. Boxes 3 and 4 are zoomed-in areas of these clumps. Box 4 highlights a particularly large clump at the bottom right of the main image that is detailed and striated.
