From blurry to breathtaking: Comparing three views of the Carina Nebula. La Silla, Hubble, and James Webb show this cosmic landscape in ever greater clarity, illustrating how advances in telescope technology are transforming our vision of the universe and revealing its hidden structures.

Three vertically stacked astronomical photographs compare the same section of The Carina Nebula (catalogued as NGC 3372), each labeled with the telescope or observatory that captured it.

Top: Labeled "La Silla Observatory," the nebula appears in muted brownish-orange tones, with many stars visible but slightly blurred. A red rectangle highlights a small protruding formation at the nebula’s edge, and a zoomed-in circular inset to the right shows this area with low detail and a soft, hazy outline.

Middle: Labeled "Hubble Telescope," the nebula displays more vivid colors, including blues, purples, and reds. The same protruding formation is highlighted by a red rectangle, and the zoomed-in inset shows more distinct edges and texture compared to the La Silla image.

Bottom: Labeled "James Webb," the nebula appears in sharper detail with golden-brown ridges against a deep blue star-filled background. The same protrusion is marked with a red rectangle, and the zoomed-in inset shows the most clarity, revealing fine structure and a greater number of small stars in the background.

Die US-Regierung plant, den funktionsfähigen #Klimasatelliten #OCO3 der #NASA kontrolliert zum Absturz zu bringen.

Die Mission liefert präzise Daten zu #CO2 und #Pflanzenwachstum, die weltweit von #Forschung und #Wirtschaft genutzt werden.

Die Gründe für die Abschaltung sind unklar, trotz positiver Bewertungen der Messqualität. Interne Anweisungen und Drohungen sorgen für strikte Geheimhaltung, während mögliche private Betreiber geprüft würden.
