The Universe is full of incredible sights.
A beautiful but skewed spiral galaxy dazzles in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image. The galaxy, called Arp 184 or NGC 1961, sits about 190 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Camelopardalis (The Giraffe).

I see you found your way to the cat content.

I have indeed.
This web site is quite fun.
Maybe I'm the one who has to pay his rent for being in his house 🐱🐈

I will trust your judgement.
However I am... unsure what you need from me. Do you mean my essence, perhaps?
It's a date then.
Err, I mean, it's a deal..
Let's start later; for now it's fine to just lounge, I believe.
Did a planet get destroyed by the white dwarf that’s the source at the center of the Helix Nebula?
Using data from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory to study the nebula, scientists determined the mysteriously strong X-ray signal coming where white dwarf WD 2226-210 sits. Young white dwarfs like WD 2226-210 do not typically give off strong X-rays. This X-ray signal could be the debris from a destroyed planet being pulled onto the white dwarf.
The Helix Nebula—seen in this composite image using data from Chandra, the Hubble Space Telescope, and other observatories—is a planetary nebula, the remnant of a star like our sun that has shed its outer layers, leaving a small dim star at its center called a white dwarf.

I do not know what is wrong.

Why is it that you can hold it and not the other containers?

The Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered a “sneaky” black hole that was revealed in a tidal disruption event, where a hapless star was ripped apart and swallowed in a spectacular burst of radiation.
Unlike previously observed tidal disruption events, which took place in the center of a galaxy, this event was thousands of light-years from its galactic center. This is the first offset tidal disruption event captured by optical sky surveys, and it opens up the possibility of uncovering an elusive population of “wandering” black holes with future surveys: https://bit.ly/4j51XYo
