ESA's new Sun-orbiting Euclid telescope recently captured the most detailed image ever of the bright star forming region M78. Near the image center, M78 lies at a distance of only about 1,300 light-years away and has a main glowing core that spans about 5 light-years. The featured image was taken in both visible and infrared light. The purple tint in M78's center is caused by dark dust preferentially reflecting the blue light of hot, young stars.

In the West Bank, another war goes unnoticed.
In the northern refugee camp of Nour Shams, @UNRWA staff told me about the impact of Israeli Forces’ regular operations on their daily lives.

What was once a bustling area with markets and life, lays in destruction now 👇

Israeli Defense Minister Gallant said: “I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip…No electricity, no food, no fuel. We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.”

That is what they have done.

Iyad al-Jabri, the medical director at the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Gaza’s Deir el-Balah, said more than 4,000 litres of fuel was required each day to continue operations and care for patients in the medical facility, which is now in darkness as power generators have shut down.

“We have hundreds of patients including the injured and those that are diagnosed with kidney failure and need electricity for their dialysis treatment.”

I kind of wish anyone here knew anything about Burkina. It gets lonely. I made a Burkina Faso instance but nobody in my life wants to join 😂

@being There's a chapter on Burkina Faso cinema in this book.

Often referred to as Africa’s Hollywood–Burkina Faso, ranked by the UN as the third poorest country in the world (2005), is considered a kind of role model for sub-Saharan African cinema.
