π£ Life update:
Starting this fall, I will be a high school AP math teacher!
Iβm excited for this opportunity to educate and grow in my professional career!
(I will definitely be looking for as many activities and Astro examples to use in my classroom. π)

Knowledge Dump! ππ
A thread of information or facts that Iβve either just learned or re-remembered (bc letβs face it, we all forget and there is no shame in re-educating yourself).

While the first picture combines the two telescopes, here you can see how different they are. Hubble is seeing much more of the hot, glowing gas, while JWST sees emission from the dust. Using telescopes sensitive to different wavelengths like these 2 helps give a complete picture of the universe!3/3

A cluster of distant, mainly elliptical galaxies. They appear as brightly shining points radiating golden light that each take the shape of a smooth, featureless oval. They crowd around one that is extremely large and bright. A few spiral galaxies of comparable size appear too, bluer in colour and with unique shapes. Of the other, more small and distant galaxies covering the scene, a few are warped into long lines.
π¨π A portrait of a galaxy cluster
A massive, spacetime-warping cluster of galaxies is the setting of todayβs NASA/ESA #Hubble Space Telescope image.
The galaxy cluster in question is Abell 209 and shows more than a hundred galaxies, but thereβs more to this cluster than the eye can see...
