25 years on, 2001's 'Planet of the Apes' has become a bit of a guilty pleasure

We didn't exactly go bananas for Tim Burton's odd take on "Planet of the Apes" back in 2001, but now, on the occasion of the sci-fi film’s 25th anniversary, we've had time to reflect on not only the summertime spectacle's notable missteps, but also its unsung merits.Invading the hallowed grounds of director Franklin Schaffner’s 1968 original "Planet of the Apes"...
On this day in space! July 27, 1962: The 1st zero-g cosmonaut training flight took off on a Soviet jetliner

On July 27, 1962, two Russian cosmonauts boarded a Soviet airliner and experienced weightlessness without going to space. This was the first time cosmonauts completed zero-G training on an airplane. The Tupolev Tu-104 was a type of jetliner originally designed to transport 50 passengers. It was modified to accommodate cosmonauts who needed to train in an environment that simulated weightlessness....

Cúmulo de galaxias MACS J1423 (imagen de NIRCam)

Miles de galaxias brillantes están unidas entre sí por su propia gravedad y forman un cúmulo masivo clasificado formalmente como MACS J1423.
El óvalo blanco brillante más grande es una galaxia elíptica supergigante y el miembro dominante de este cúmulo de galaxias. El cúmulo de galaxias actúa como una lente, magnificando y distorsionando la luz de los objetos que se encuentran detrás de él, un efecto conocido como lente gravitacional que tiene grandes beneficios para la investigación. Los astrónomos pueden estudiar las galaxias con efecto lente en detalle, como la galaxia Firefly Sparkle.
Esta imagen de 2023 es de la NIRCam (cámara de infrarrojo cercano) del telescopio espacial James Webb. investigadores utilizaron Webb para estudiar el mismo campo que el telescopio espacial Hubble fotografió en 2010. Debido a su especialización en imágenes de infrarrojo cercano de alta resolución, Webb pudo mostrar a los investigadores muchas más galaxias con mucho más detalle.
