A composite of the August 21, 2017 total eclipse of the Sun, showing the second and third contact diamond rings and Baily’s Beads at the start left and end right of totality, flanking a composite image of totality itself The diamond ring and Baily’s Beads images are single images The totality images is a blend of 12 exposures from 1/1600 sec to 1 second, stacked as a smart object and combined using the Mean stack mode to blend the images Several High Pass filter layers were added to sharpen and increase the contrast in the coronal structures Regulus is the star at lower left Placement of the images only roughly matches the actual position and path of the Sun across the sky However, the time sequence runs from left to right All taken through the 106mm Astro-Physics Traveler refractor with a 085x reducer/flattener, yielding f/5 at 500mm focal length, wide enough to capture Regulus at left All with the Canon 6D MkII camera at ISO 100 Shot from a site in the Teton Valley, Idaho, north of Driggs.

This exceptionally deep image from NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory reveals the renowned COSMOS field and its surroundings in the constellation Sextans. The view is crowded with galaxies and galaxy clusters spanning an immense range of distances and cosmic ages, while only a handful of foreground stars belong to our own Milky Way. It was created by combining multiple observations from Rubin’s LSST Camera into a deep coadded image and is being released to mark Early Data Preview 2, the first Rubin data preview based on LSST Camera observations. The COSMOS field was selected more than two decades ago to provide astronomers with a relatively unobstructed window into the distant Universe. Located away from the crowded plane of the Milky Way, it contains comparatively few bright stars and little intervening dust, and it is accessible to major observatories on Earth and in space. Even in this exceptionally clear region, Rubin’s remarkable sensitivity reveals traces of faint, glowing galactic cirrus: wisps of interstellar dust within our own Milky Way superimposed on the much more distant cosmic landscape. Early Data Preview 2 comes on the heels of the beginning of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). With its ability to observe the southern sky deeply, widely, and repeatedly, Rubin Observatory is poised to transform many areas of astronomy.

TOPSHOT - Beach goers rest on the beach of Moutchic on the shore of Lake Lacanau (Etang de Lacanau) in Lacanau , southwestern France on July 24, 2026, as clouds of smoke rise into the sky from the Gironde wildfire. The fire raging in the northern part of the Arcachon Basin in Gironde, southwest France, has swept through more than 3,400 hectares, according to the latest figures released by the prefecture. More than 20,000 residents and tourists have been evacuated from this part already devastated by flames in 2022. Scientists have long warned that climate change caused by human use of fossil fuels will make periods of drought more intense and longer-lasting, creating the ideal conditions for wildfires.
