I’m well out of my depth here. Seeing this thread for the first time, and it made me think of some of the great photos he’s shared with me. There’s a brief description on the photo in the link, hope you enjoy! -
Wow these are fascinating. Thanks again!

Described as a young region only 5MM years old with a bunch of really big, really hot, really rare stars. Wouldn’t want to be anywhere near it but sure is beautiful to look at.

Congratulations! It's really hard to get my head around the magnitude of that achievement and very humbling.
Unrelated to this stunning accomplishment: to any Audible subscribers, included for free with your subscription: Ray Porter, one of my favorite narrators, did the narration for the book The Black Hole War: My Battle with Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum Mechanics by the incredible Leonard Susskind, and it is truly excellent. Almost as good as having the author read it himself (he is a fantastic lecturer).
Lots of mind-bending stuff in there around black holes, string theory, quantum field theory, and the hypothesis that our reality is a hologram coded on a distant 2D surface, presented fairly accessibly without too much math (thank goodness).

@pechelman To tell you the truth, I'm pretty neutral about space exploration stuff, but I teared up at the human magnitude of that achievement. Extraordinary.....
