A mere 56 million light-years distant toward the southern constellation Fornax, NGC 1365 is an enormous barred spiral galaxy about 200,000 light-years in diameter. That’s twice the size of our own barred spiral Milky Way. This sharp image from the James Webb Space Telescope’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) reveals stunning details of this magnificent spiral in infrared light. Webb’s field of view stretches about 60,000 light-years across NGC 1365, exploring the galaxy’s core and bright newborn star clusters. The intricate network of dusty filaments and bubbles is created by young stars along spiral arms winding from the galaxy’s central bar. Astronomers suspect the gravitational field of NGC 1365’s bar plays a crucial role in the galaxy’s evolution, funneling gas and dust into a star-forming maelstrom and ultimately feeding material into the active galaxy’s central, supermassive black hole. via NASA https://ift.tt/JnObAzW

https://www.youtube.com/watch/CsxAShq9MYc Trump Has ‘No Strategy’ On Greenland | Anne Applebaum
“We’re beyond strategy, where we now have to talk about one man’s obsession and maybe madness.”
Donald Trump’s threats to Greenland reflect “one man’s obsession” rather than any coherent foreign-policy strategy, and risk distracting from Russia’s intensifying war in Ukraine, says Pulitzer Prize winning American journalist and historian Anne Applebaum.
Anne Applebaum was speaking to John Pienaar on Times Radio Drive. Listen live every day 4-7pm.

The strangest moon in the Solar System is bright yellow. The featured picture, an attempt to show how Io would appear in the “true colors” perceptible to the average human eye, was taken in 1999 July by the Galileo spacecraft that orbited Jupiter from 1995 to 2003. Io’s colors derive from sulfur and molten silicate rock. The unusual surface of Io is kept very young by its system of active volcanoes. The intense tidal gravity of Jupiter stretches Io and damps wobbles caused by Jupiter’s other Galilean moons. The resulting friction greatly heats Io’s interior, causing molten rock to explode through the surface. Io’s volcanoes are so active that they are effectively turning the whole moon inside out. Some of Io’s volcanic lava is so hot it glows in the dark. via NASA https://ift.tt/Mimd7ck

https://www.youtube.com/watch/nNhDqHDnp74 Trump’s demands put Europe in FAFO territory | Ian Bremmer’s Quick Take
Checking in from the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, Ian Bremmer breaks down a deepening crisis in the transatlantic relationship as President Trump escalates pressure on Europe over Greenland.
With European leaders already stretched by the war in Ukraine, economic underperformance, and questions about US reliability, Trump’s renewed insistence that the United States must own Greenland has become a defining test of whether Europe can push back, or whether it fractures under pressure.
As Ian explains, the stakes go far beyond trade disputes or Arctic security:
“Trump is coming to Davos to meet with a lot of European leaders at a time when he is threatening to rip up the transatlantic alliance and to engage in undermining the territorial integrity of one of its closest, albeit small, allies. Now, if that’s the way this ends up, it’s the end of NATO.”
Ian also unpacks his framework for understanding Trump’s foreign policy approach: FAFO vs. TACO, and why countries that can credibly push back fare far better than those that can’t.
Ian breaks down what Greenland reveals about leverage, alliance politics, and whether Europe is capable of acting as a unified power in a rapidly fragmenting global order.
