@skykiss it’s quite astounding that there haven’t been any leaks yet… or exclusives in print or other media… I wonder how Hunter S Thompson would have approached this story? #GonzoJournalism #hst #1000agents #fbi

Portrait of a galaxy cluster
A massive, spacetime-warping cluster of galaxies, Abell 209, is the setting of today’s NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Picture of the Week.

This is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces and is believed to be one of the most isolated galaxies known, with no other galaxies for around 100 million light-years in all directions.
𝘉𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘯, the visually visible diameter of the Milky Way, our home galaxy, is around 120,000 light-years. The total diameter probably extends to 170,000-200,000 light-years.

Join us for Doors Open Toronto!
Visitors to the observatory will have an opportunity to view our 1-metre and 60-centimetre telescopes, speak with astronomy students, learn what it means to be an astronomer, find out about the latest research and discoveries. There will be guided tours of the building, along with a special Observatory Treasure Hunt.
Smaller portable telescopes will be available for visitor use, weather permitting.
Who doesn't love space? It captures our imaginations and makes us wonder if we are truly alone. This is a great Doors Open option for young visitors and the young at heart.
Visitors should note that there are dim light conditions and stairs-only access (unfortunately no lifts or ramps are available) in the observatory and sturdy close-toed shoes are recommended.
Last admittance will be at 4:30 PM ET.
To learn more, check out the observatory website: https://www.yorku.ca/science/observatory/
