Amazing courage and bravery shown by Dianna Cowern: 3M YouTuber PhysicsGirl. Yesterday she live-streamed her day to show the world what severe LongCovid/MECFS looks like & fundraise for research of this life-changing disease (which I have a milder form of) ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™Dianne๐Ÿงช

This is my very first try of processing data from a ground telescope: Cometary Globule CG 4 seen by the DECam instrument mounted on the Vรญctor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope. ๐Ÿ”ญ This is a different process than space telescopes, but I can't wait to try other observations like this one!

I had fun processing this observation by Hubble of the Westerlund-2 star cluster! And in addition, here's my version, that I already shared here at some point, of the JWST observation of that same object! ๐Ÿ”ญ

Well, general elections are taking place here in France with the main alt-right party having a chance to win a huge number of seats; and my PhD proposal was not accepted. These days are quite difficult, not gonna lie...

Aprรจs le timing justement est parfait pour que Macron rรฉussisse ce pari d'avoir un PM d'ED : la campagne sera courte donc on garde le momentum des europรฉennes ; la Gauche est ร  feu et ร  sang et il faut un miracle pour une union en 3 semaines

C'est un pari extrรชmement risquรฉ et quasiment de merde, mais รงa reste la seule solution qu'il avait parce qu'il a tellement contribuรฉ ร  normaliser l'ED qu'on en est lร  avec 1/3 des votants qui votent pour Bardella (une merde) juste parce que c'est l'ED

Son objectif c'est que le RN emporte ces lรฉgislatives pour que y'ait un PM d'extrรชme-droite et qu'il se ridiculise pendant 3 ans. S'il gardait le statu-quo actuel, le RN รฉtait sรปr de gagner en 2027. Lร  c'est un pari pour qu'ils perdent

I came across the data of the Hubble observation of NGC-2070, an open cluster at the heart of the Tarantula Nebula, so here's my processing of this beauty! ๐Ÿ”ญ

And a Planetarium one as well! As its task is to map the Universe, some 360ยฐ images would be incredible!

To continue on the Euclid front, here are two observations that I processed using the ERO data: M78 and Barnard 30! ๐Ÿ”ญ

These two observations were made with the NISP instrument.

M78: flic.kr/p/2pTgV2V
Barnard 30: flic.kr/p/2pTnugd

Data from the Euclid Early Release Observations were made available lately, so here's my go at the Horsehead Nebula observation (using the NISP instrument) by this wonderful space telescope! ๐Ÿ”ญ

Oh WOW I love a good HH Object (a baby star blasting out beams of matter in opposite directions; this stage doesn't last long in a star's youth, a few 1000 yearsโ€ฆ I talk all about what it would be like to see one of these up close in my book Under Alien Skies which is out now in paperback hint hint)

Thank you!! I loved to process that observation, as the entire field is as awesome as the lensing! I have these two other examples using JWST data that I find amazing: HE-0435-1223 and LQAC-308-047-001
