@egyptomuseum Very nice ☀️

Winter Solstice at Karnak Temple ❄️☀️ ▫️Winter Solstice, which usually falls on December 21st, is marked by unique solar alignments, particularly at Karnak Temple, where the sunrise aligns with the temple’s axis, illuminating the shrine to Amun-Ra, who embodied the sun in its daily journey across the sky, representing life, sustenance, and the cycle of day and night. Amun Ra’s primary cult centre was at Thebes, where the Karnak Temple complex was dedicated to him. It is not certified, but not inconceivable, that the illuminating of the shrine to Amun-Ra was linked to the myth of Ra’s journey through the Underworld at night, symbolizing death and rebirth. This could parallel the idea of the sun’s “rebirth” after the Solstice. All evidence suggests to us that the Egyptians had a deep understanding of celestial movements, and such understanding is reflected within their mythos, folklore, and even their architectural designs and temple structures. With the alignment of the sun being used almost as a divine measuring tool, dictating the locations and construction of temples, Egyptians developed sanctuaries that align directly with the sun’s movement during the Solstices and Equinoxes to this very day. egypt-museum.com/solstice/

@konstructivizm basically in the cosmic backyard just chilling 1,560 light-years out space always finds new ways to humble us

The closest known black hole to Earth is just 1,560 light-years away.

@WorldAndScience infrared always hits different ngc 2283 glowing like a memory stars forming, stars fading whole lifetimes wrapped in spirals

@forallcurious wildest shape in space stellar winds sculpting beauty feels like the cosmos showing off again

The Hour Glass Nebula!

@apod blinking you’d miss it half a second of magic tiny station, big moon backdrop space and timing in perfect sync

What's that unusual spot on the Moon? It's the International Space Station. Using precise timing, the Earth-orbiting space platform was photographed in front of a partially lit gibbous Moon in 2019. The featured image was taken from Palo Alto, California, USA with an exposure time of only 1/667 of a second. In contrast, the duration of the transit of the ISS across the entire Moon was about half a second. A close inspection of this unusually crisp ISS silhouette will reveal the outlines of numerous solar panels and trusses. The bright crater Tycho is visible on the lower left, as well as comparatively rough, light colored terrain known as highlands and relatively smooth, dark colored areas known as maria. Downloadable apps can tell you when the International Space Station will be visible from your area. Image Credit & Copyright: Eric Holland

@NASA the tilt delivers longest day of the year, sun’s working overtime enjoy the light night’ll take its turn soon enough

Long day? The Earth might have something to do with it. Friday, June 20 marks the summer solstice—the longest stretch of daylight in the Northern Hemisphere. Pack sunscreen and thank Earth's axial tilt for the extra hours. Learn more: tumblr.com/nasa/786887436…

@universal_sci cosmic fireworks in slow motion the bubble nebula isn’t just a pretty face it’s a stellar storm carving through space

@NASAAmes tilted toward the sun and soaking up the light happy solstice to the north and gentle twilight to the south

A sunrise for the solstice 🌞 Today marks the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere and the shortest in the Southern Hemisphere. How will you be spending your #SummerSolstice?

@SETIInstitute europa’s got secrets under the ice. jwst just found carbon dioxide likely from its subsurface ocean.

#PPOD: Europa 🔵 JWST's NIRCam (Near Infrared Camera) captured this picture of the surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa. JWST identified carbon dioxide on the icy surface of Europa, which likely originated in the moon’s subsurface ocean. This discovery has important implications for the potential habitability of Europa’s ocean. The moon appears blue primarily because it is brighter at shorter infrared wavelengths. The white features correspond with the chaos terrain Powys Regio (left) and Tara Regio (center and right), showing enhanced surface carbon dioxide ice. Credit: @NASA @esa @csa_asc / G.

@NASAhistory that's just earth showing off its good side! looks like someone forgot to clean the window before taking the picture, though

Take a minute to enjoy the view It's the solstice today... again! Didn't we just have one? What better reminder to pause and reflect on where we are. 📷 View of the Hawaiian Islands seen from the deck of space shuttle Discovery taken 40 years ago during the STS-51G mission.

@zwoastro looks like a cosmic tie-dye masterpiece. I bet this is what happens when a star sneezes. absolutely stellar
