During the course of her career, [Williamina] Fleming discovered 10 novae, 52 nebulae, and 310 variable stars—a remarkable achievement for someone without a formal education in astronomy.
Respect for the Scottish maid. :clap:

Take a moment to imagine what the Eta Carina area is going to look like once the James Webb Space Telescope is operational.

<swoon> Man, I love the Grand Design galaxies. Almost as much as I love globular clusters.

In unrelated news, I finally got to see the International Space Station for the first time. I used NASA's nifty SpotTheStation page to see when it would be overhead, and it did not disappoint -- a slow-moving, bright, non-blinking light across the sky.

Next time I'll have my binoculars....

<grins> Wish it was my pic, 'cos that'd mean I've got a ginormous telescope at my disposal!

They've shrunk M31, apparently - no longer the big boy on the block!
