Arp Bot 🤖

Hubble image of Arp 283, also known as NGC 2798 and NGC 2799.

The left galaxy in this interacting pair, NGC 2799, is viewed edge-on. A bridge of star forming regions appears to connect it to its companion on the right, NGC 2798. NGC 2798 has two broad smooth spiral arms or tails without obvious clumps, made of mostly older, yellow stars.

A pair of interacting galaxies. The galaxy on the left is seen edge-on. It has a bright yellow central core and a slightly warped blue disk that is dotted with star clusters and clumps of dark dust. The edge of the disk arcs to the right, appearing to connect to its companion galaxy. The second galaxy is inclined, but seen closer to face-on. It has a central bar of blue-ish stars that is largely obscured by a haze of yellow stars and dust lanes in the circular core of the galaxy. Two spiral arms emerge from the core, which are wide, poorly defined, and mostly made of yellow older stars, which is unusual for a spiral galaxy.

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 223.

Samantha Harvey' Booker winning novella, Orbital (2023) is an extraordinary read; packed intuits 135pp is a meditation of life in space that offers a completely believable depiction of the inner lives of astronauts as well as some beautiful wiring about the earth beneath the space station & the experience of orbiting the world. A mesmerising read & packs a real punch for a short book. Highly recommended!

Blue Origin's All-Female Space Flight: A Complex Legacy

Summary: For the first time since Valentina Tereshkova's 1963 flight, Blue Origin's all-female crew, featuring popstar Katy Perry and others, embarks on a space mission. The mission highlights female empowerment but also underscores persistent inequities facing women in STEM, particularly women of color.
