This is the exciting stuff, Galactic composition and placement! Thank you Anton. Every day you drop a little knowledge bomb and instead of running away I'm running toward it.

Fascinating stuff. The study of planetary nebula could take up an entire lifetime and never reach the end of their story. The contributions to stellar science that Webb and now the new Vera Rubin observatory provide, certainly seem to be leading us toward another Golden Age of Astronomy. Who knows what the next few years may teach us.

Anton has an incredible talent for creating clickbait titles that aren't actually clickbait. And it will work on me every single time.

I am loving the way in which scientists are revealing more and more about the cosmos ….i can imagine they would find just as many unknowns when they really get to a more in depth investigation of our own planet…plenty of surprises awaiting us

how I'd love to go on a space tourism holiday and see all these and so many more magnificent objects.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Halloween is more important than Xmas!
