Flipboard Science DeskA distant galaxy is home to a ravenous supermassive black hole that appears to be playing with its food. Located over 12 million light-years from Earth, a spiral galaxy known as NGC 4945 is blowing powerful winds of material from the supermassive black hole located at its core. <a href="https://flipboard.com/@LiveScience" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@LiveScience</a> has more on this “messy eater.”<a href="https://flip.it/b5q9OU" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://flip.it/b5q9OU</a><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Space" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Space</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/BlackHoles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackHoles</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ScienceNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScienceNews</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomy</a>

Cheerful Madness!! 🖤🩶🤍💜Did anybody see a little dot of light travelling downwards past the Great Bear? At 21:12 this evening, UK time.

AllanICarswellObservatorySpiral galaxy NGC 7331, also known as the Caldwell 30, is pretty similar to our Milky Way in terms of mass, size and shape. Located in the constellation Pegasus, Caldwell 30 is about 45 million lightyears away from us. The galaxy got the nickname Caldwell 30 because it is a member of the group of 86 objects catalogued by astronomer Sir Patrick Moore. He named the objects the Caldwell Objects because his full surname is actually Caldwell-Moore. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Caldwell?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Caldwell</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NGC7331?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NGC7331</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Caldwell30?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Caldwell30</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Spiral?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spiral</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Galaxy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Galaxy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AllanICarswellObservatory?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AllanICarswellObservatory</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/YorkU?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YorkU</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Toronto?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Toronto</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Ontario?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ontario</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astronomer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Science?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SpaceScienceSaturday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpaceScienceSaturday</a>

MalloryNGC 2685, a.k.a., the Helix Galaxy I was so annoyed with my first go at processing this one that I spent basically an entire day sorting through all of the subframes and tossing out all of the bad ones. Turns out there was a lot of them, which contributed to the low quality of the end result. This time turned out better, but I think the raw data just isn't good enough to get the image I want. I'm definitely going to try this one again in the future. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a>

Josh Universe :goldverify:The Gargoyles' Eclipse <a href="https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2504/NDGargoylesEclipse_kulik.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2504/NDGargoylesEclipse_kulik.jpg</a> In dramatic silhouette against a cloudy daytime sky over Paris, France, gargoyles cast their monstrous gaze outward from the west facade of Notre Dame Cathedral. Taken on March 29, this telephoto snapshot also captures the dramatic silhouette of a New Moon against the bright solar disk in a partial solar eclipse. Happening high in Parisian skies, the partial eclipse was close to its maximum phase of about 23 percent. Occurring near the end of the first eclipse season of 2025, this partial solar eclipse followed the total eclipse of the Full Moon on March 13/14. The upcoming second eclipse season of 2025 will see a total lunar eclipse on September 7/8 and partial solar eclipse on September 21. The partial solar eclipse will be seen only from locations in planet Earth's southern hemisphere.
