Gustav Groer, Bindungslehre & Composition. c. 1890. While it looks remarkably like pixel art, it was made at the end of the 19th century. Groer drew hundreds of these colored grids while training as a weaver in Mährisch Schönberg. The designs were then translated into instructions for Jacquard punch cards.

Just a piece of NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory's Ocean of Stars 🌊✨ This galaxy is MCG-06-33-009, and the blue knots in its spiral arms show where hot, young stars are forming. Rubin will capture billions of galaxies and enable scientists to study how galaxies grow and change 🌀
Golden spiral galaxy with blueish spiral arms in a dense star field. Numerous orange and blue stars dot the dark sky, with a bright bluish star left of center and faint background galaxies scattered throughout.

A wide, panoramic view of a dense field of pinpoint stars filling the entire frame like fine dust. A white square notes a specific galaxy near upper center. Wispy, grayish-brown clouds of galactic cirrus drift across the scene, creating a subtle, patchy texture over the dark background. Several brighter stars stand out, most notably a large, brilliant blue star on the upper right surrounded by a soft glowing halo, along with a few other scattered bright blue and warm orange stars.

This was Colorado's hottest summer on record, and it wasn't even close. Average statewide temp of 69.4° beat the old record (2012) by 0.7°, a wide margin. It was also Colorado's hottest August on record, and it's our hottest start to a calendar year on record as well. #COwx
