Space Astronomy Is Under Threat As New Paper "Raises Important Concerns" About MegaconstellationsA picture of the interacting pair of galaxies knwon as the mice, where two spiral galaixes are in the process of merging. One of them has a spiral arm stretched into a long tail. A broad white streak cuts the image, that's the satellite trail.

New Sun Images At 8K Resolution Show Astounding, Never-Before-Seen DetailsTwo images of the same sunspot, a dark region of the sound surronded by an orange hal if filaments pointing inward. Left: Extract from a single image of the Sun, taken with the Vacuum Tower Telescope on Tenerife. Right: High-resolution image restored from 100 individual exposures captured by the new advanced camera system. The details are much sharper.
