Astronomers at ESO’s VLT observatory have taken this stunning image of the planetary nebular NGC 2899.
The nebula is the result of a star that collapsed and formed a White Dwarf, expelling the gas outwards, and now is illuminated by the remnants of that star, irradiating the gas and causing it to glow.
Our sun will one day be a planetary nebula and a white dwarf.

A strongly barred spiral galaxy, 110 million light years away in the constellation of Cetus.
As galaxies age, the central black hole increases in size, and it’s effects become more pronounced, leading the a galaxy moving from Spiral to Lenticular and then finally to Elliptical. The central section of this galaxy looks look very similar to elliptical galaxies, with no obvious features, just ancient stars that create an almost haze like feature.
While the outer edges of the galaxy, outside of the barred area, are full of star birth and activity. This is likely because they are out of the range of the impact from the central black hole, but also because the galaxy itself may have taken on new matter from a galaxy merger at some point.
Eventually, it will become a elliptical, just as our own galaxy will, no doubt after several more merges along the way.
Prom 2k14 with my girlfriend 😘 the best moment of the night was when a lesbian caterer came up to us and said “Seeing you two made my night. 10 years ago people like us wouldn’t be allowed to go together. Thank you” A memory that will last forever 💕

Are you dysphoric? Are you sick of body positivity? Are you female? Here are some affirmations that you can try out to counteract your negative internal monologue.
Whenever you think a negative/dysphoric thought, tell yourself one of these affirmations. If it feels corny or dumb, that’s a good sign. It means you’re challenging your brain’s self-hatred. You are redirecting your brain and challenging your usual thought patterns.
