The #Dugong, or “Sea Cow”, is a herbivorous marine mammal that is the last representative of the once-diverse family Dugongidae. The closest modern relative, Steller’s sea cow (Hydrodamalis gigas), was hunted to extinction in the 18th century. https://t.co/G3jZqXRBkr

As the #lava boils away the seawater, more of its surface is exposed to the water. The steam is then produced at a more rapid rate; creating clouds that can be lethal as they often contain small glass fragments.

Welcome to the dark side. 

This image from the James Webb Space Telescope’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) features the central region of the Chamaeleon I dark molecular cloud, which resides 630 light-years away.

The Mangalica was developed in the mid-19th century by crossbreeding breeds from the nearby Romanian Salonta (Hungarian: Nagyszalonta, colloquially Szalonta) and Hungarian Bakony with the European wild boar and the Serbian Šumadija breed.

At a glance, these may look like sheep, but they are actually Mangalica — a Hungarian breed of domestic #pig that sports a thick, luscious, curly coat of hair.  https://t.co/QGQdKkR9lR

Because of this irregular orbit, the hotspot emission varies within a range of frequencies.

One interpretation of the quasiperiodic oscillations seen in X-rays in these systems is the formation of a hot spot (white oval) near the disk's inner edge, which expands and contracts as its properties change.

In this animation, a neutron star () spins in the center of a colorful disk of gas, some of which follows the magnetic field (blue lines) and flows (blue-white arcs) onto the object’s surface.

The animation then shows the kilonova (), which contains neutron-rich debris and glows due to the decay of newly forged radioactive elements.

This animation shows the explosive merging of two neutron stars, followed by the eruption of powerful jets, then expanding shock waves where the jets plow into surrounding material (pink structures at the tip of each jet).
