Rare and expensive pieces of scientific equipment carry intrinsic #access barriers. Even with an open attitude, they don't have time to run all good experiments. The #AllenInstitute just launched a #CrowdSourced method to mitigate these problems for the 2-photon fluorescence imaging platform at its #BrainObservatory. The method was inspired by one #NASA developed for the #HubbleTelescope.

2/ normally, i adore everything related to #astronomy. at #night, taking out the day’s trash, i stop to look at the #sky, searching for familiar #planets & #stars

it tickles me 2C #OrionsBelt, #betelgeuse & #bellatrix

my favorite lights are #capella #sirius & #vega

knowing the #SpaceStation & #HubbleTelescope are beneath my feet, with the #sun, is astounding

tracking “my very” & “mother just served” (IYKYK) makes me smile

but, the #moon? how i loathe it, because of what it brings

NGC 376, a young open star cluster in the Small Magellanic Cloud.

It is 28 million years old. On Earth 28 million years ago, a comet exploded over Egypt and the heat from the explosion turned the Sahara to glass.

COINCIDENCE?!

The latest for my Redbubble store: Mars a la Edvard Munch. Available in a variety of forms, such as a canvas print, shower curtain, and mouse pad. (I'm so entertained by the array of Redbubble merch choices.) #astronomy #mars #Hubbletelescope #redbubble

This is NGC 2660, an open cluster in the constellation Vela.
A loose group of stars bundled by gravity.

Seriously, seriously, SERIOUSLY what the fucking fuck? How can that be real?! Okay it's both real (it exists out there) and not real (not looking like that) yet it must have the spectacular quality we see here.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

#astronomy #hubbletelescope

Astronomical collage of things we can't see.

We cannot see this shit.

We fucking can fucking not see this motherfucking goddamned shit at fucking all.

This is like reading the Illiad in English: it doesn't really exist.

When the
#HubbleTelescope
launched, one of its main goals was to measure the rate at which our universe is expanding.

Using the #Hubble, we have been able to measure the Hubble Constant & even found out that the expansion rate of our universe is accelerating due to a mysterious force known as dark energy.

#hubbletelescope

The Butterfly Nebula.

"This sharp close-up was recorded by the Hubble Space Telescope and is processed here to show off remarkable details of the complex planetary nebula, highlighting in particular light emitted by oxygen (shown as blue), hydrogen (green), and nitrogen (red). NGC 6302 lies about 3,500 light-years away in the arachnologically correct constellation of the Scorpion (Scorpius)."

The blue is oxygen. THE FUCKING FAKE BLUE COLOR IS FUCKING REAL OXYGEN!!!!!!!

The Crab Nebula as a faux watercolor. Available now as a coffee mug and other stuff on Redbubble!

When Shoemaker-Levy hit Jupiter, my dad (who worked in aerospace for 30+ years) said, "Think of all the alien civilizations on Jupiter that just got destroyed."

Now I always think of the alien civilizations that get destroyed.

#jupiter #hubbletelescope #astronomy

I can't even. I CANNOT FUCKING EVEN!

I know I'm doing a lot of social media shouting, but LOOK AT THESE MOTHERFUCKERS.

#hubbletelescope #galaxy #astronomy

I don't fucking know what galaxy this is. It doesn't matter. For real, I can hardly believe this is a pic (albeit colorized) of something THAT ACTUALLY FUCKING EXISTS!!!

What the fuck is this life that THIS BEAUTIFUL SHIT EXISTS AT ALL?!

#hubbletelescope

My god, it's full of stars!

MY FUCKING GOD, IT'S FULL OF GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING STARS!!!

#hubbletelescope #astronomy #star

Jupiter, wounded. Makes me so fucking sad.

#hubbletelescope #jupiter

That isn't your fucking anus. That's URANUS. And those are "alien aurorae" and rings and the color is goddamn awesome.

#hubbletelescope

Hubble. A waterfall of stars.

That fuzzy streak of light are motherfucking stars, bound together in space like that. What the glorious fuck?!

#hubbletelescope

Okay, this is the most fucking artistic shit of all time. The best part about it is that if we went out there, we wouldn't see it at all. Astronomy is so postmodern.

#hubbletelescope #jameswebbtelescope

Hubble on the left, Webb on the right. Fucking awesome.
