There are many nebulas, galaxies, stars, and planets that researchers are interested in, so it’s important for the James Webb Space Telescope to operate efficiently and for data to be easily accessible.
Over the first year of its observations, engineers behind Webb established the groundwork for how Webb conducts its operations week to week. This is so that, as Webb travels from one point to the next, it will stop at each proposed target in between to maximize the amount of science done. As these targets are observed, that data needs to be archived for future study.
Data from these observations are available via the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST). The Cartwheel Galaxy is an example of what one might find in these archives for study in greater detail.Learn more about how Webb data reaches Earth: https://bit.ly/3L8XDYg
Iranian communist in 1979. After they brought Khomeini to power, he immediately massacred and exiled all communists. He then made all women, including feminists like this one, second class citizens
The criticism at the time was, "Communism was the rot that allowed Islamism to destroy Iran."
Yes this is a repost, as the other didn't have the speech marks so it looked like I was saying it.

A "Hobo Nickel" is the name given to American nickel coins that were hand-engraved by homeless people (hobos) during the Great Depression. Hobos used these engravings to increase the value of an ordinary nickel, creating small works of art that they could exchange for food, rides, or other services.
These engravings were often very detailed and creative, and the motifs varied. A common motif, as can be seen in the picture, was a skull. Today, Hobo Nickels are valuable collector's items, and some examples have sold at auction for thousands of dollars.
The picture here shows such a nickel redesigned with a skeleton motif. This is a part of the story that reflects creativity and survival during the difficult time of the Great Depression in the United States.
