Did u know basically all of NASA‘s space pics are public domain? I just found out. I’ve been scouring through the james webb images just feeling full of wonder

hubble has been capturing some of the most beautiful images of space since 1990 and yesterday images of messier 44 were released. so beautiful and so interesting to read about. I love reading about the pockets of space it captures. astronomy is one of the coolest things ever.

A beautifully simple site from NASA that still looks like it did when it first launched in 1995 and only has one purpose: provide a unique astronomy photo every day of the year and a short explanation written by a professional astronomer.
The bare bones nature of the site is very calming and looking at photos of celestial bodies is a very humbling and grounding thing for me to do when I'm overthinking too much or have spent hours consuming brain rot and need a palate cleanser.
This was the pic for 02/18/2025, a grouping of cosmic clouds titled: Thor's Helmet versus the Seagull

we're so lucky to be alive in a time where we have the technology to see these photos. no humans have ever been able to see these things before. the universe is so beautiful. id love to take a tour of the universe when I die. to see the pillars of creation, to experience what happens inside of a black hole and what is on the other side, to find out what is at the great attractor, there's so many things I'd love to see that I know I never will, and it makes me sad, but I know there are so many people who came before me that never got to see even this much. so I am forever grateful to this archive of photos from our universe.

Knowing their species name makes them feel like part of your community instead of just green-brown blobs. Your walks feel so much richer and more full of life. You might even start saying hello when you pass by :-)

If you can’t make yourself read any of your books, it’s because you don’t really want to read them. Pick up something easy and silly that will entertain you. It will stretch that muscle. Don’t punish yourself!
