3/ When examining plasma from individuals who received the JN.1-adapted vaccine, we observe similar levels of antibody evasion for XFG and BA.3.2. This is consistent with earlier studies.

SWOOSH! 🧹 When a meteoroid struck Mars, it triggered ~100 dust avalanches down an ancient volcano's slopes.

@esa.int's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter captured the dramatic effect of the rare cascade. A new @nature.com study examines the most common causes of these streaks.

📷 This shimmering view from the ESA Euclid mission shows the dark cloud LDN 1641. Though nearly invisible to the human eye, Euclid’s infrared vision uncovers a rich landscape of gas, dust and dozens of newborn stars🧪🔭

@science.esa.int @ec-euclid.bsky.social
The focus of the image is a portion of LDN 1641, an interstellar nebula in the constellation of Orion. In this view, a deep-black background is sprinkled with a multitude of dots (stars) of different sizes and shades of bright white. Across the sea of stars, a web of fuzzy tendrils and ribbons in varying shades of orange and brown rises from the bottom of the image towards the top-right like thin coils of smoke.

It might not look like much, but that white blob in the middle of this image is comet 3I/ATLAS—the third known interstellar visitor ever—photographed from the orbit of Mars.
A slightly blurry starfield, with a brighter white splotch in the very middle of the image. The brighter splotch is comet 3I/ATLAS.

#Comet C/2025 A6 #Lemmon in the constellation Boötes, on the evening of October 24th. Captured from the light polluted outskirts of Munich.

16 minutes integration time with my Fujifilm X-S10 and 135mm f4.5 lens (untracked).

#astrophotography 🔭
A starfield with many small and colorful stars is dominated by comet Lemmon which is oriented diagonally in the frame. The comet has a greenish coma and a diffuse yellowish dust tail is pointing up from the nucleus. Layered with the dust tail is the blueish ion-tail which is much narrower and longer, stretching beyond the top of the image. The ion tail shows some slight undulations from changes in the comets activity over time.
