Recently, astronauts aboard the ISS captured a stunning sight during a thunderstorm: a “giant jet.”
Unlike ordinary lightning that strikes downward toward Earth, giant jets shoot upward from storm clouds into the stratosphere, reaching heights of up to 90 km.
These rare electrical discharges act like mysterious messengers between our planet and space. From the ground, they’re hard to spot — but from orbit, the cosmos reveals this hidden spectacle.
In the 21st century, images like these become a shared treasure of humanity, reminding us just how wondrous our world truly is. ⚡️🌌Recently, astronauts aboard the ISS captured a stunning sight during a thunderstorm: a “giant jet.”

Читать полностью…If anyone is interested or involved in any research or work related to the astro field kindly guide me. I surfed through online I only got lessons and stuff I wanted to do something practical like data analysis or some other works. I am willing to learn. If need I can send my CV too

Astronomers investigate pulsar PSR J1930+1852 and its pulsar wind nebula
Using NuSTAR and XMM-Newton satellites, astronomers from New York University (NYU) Abu Dhabi have observed a pulsar known as PSR J1930+1852 and its pulsar wind nebula (PWN). Results of the observational campaign, published in The Astrophysical Journal, yield more insights into the PWN and the pulsar that powers it.
a quick side track, have any of you used python to optimize your daily work ?

Webb telescope reveals long-lived dust shells around multiple Wolf-Rayet stars
Cosmic dust does far more than float through space. It's the raw material from which stars, planets and possibly even life emerge. Yet astronomers have long puzzled over where this vast amount of dust comes from and what it's made of.
learned the basics in my HS. didn't find any use in my work life though

Читать полностью…Yeah! The atmospheric function is centred around earthly values. Since we are the only life forms known till now..maximum factors are earth-centric (which you just described)
Читать полностью…Kinda shattered pieces of the star is stopped in time while creating a shape look like eye
Читать полностью…Cool but also introduce medium function the planet should atleast be the same medium as our atmosphere so that the conditions and concentration of air mixture is ideal
Читать полностью…There are many particularly known ones that are ring, Orion and many more
Читать полностью…Can anyone have time to talk about nebulas 😞
