Fw: Astronomy Picture of the Day (4/27/2025): IC 418: The Spirograph Nebula
Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2025 April 27 IC 418: The Spirograph Nebula Image Credit: NASA, ESA, and the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA); Acknowledgement: R. Sahai (JPL) et al. Explanation: What is creating the strange texture of IC 418? Dubbed the Spirograph Nebula for its resemblance to drawings from a cyclical drawing tool, planetary nebula IC 418 shows patterns that are not well understood. Perhaps they are related to chaotic winds from the variable central star, which changes brightness unpredictably in just a few hours. By contrast, evidence indicates that only a few million years ago, IC 418 was probably a well-understood star similar to our Sun. Only a few thousand years ago, IC 418 was probably a common red giant star. Since running out of nuclear fuel, though, the outer envelope has begun expanding outward leaving a hot remnant core destined to become a white-dwarf star, visible in the image center. The light from the central core excites surrounding atoms in the nebula causing them to glow. IC 418 lies about 2000 light-years away and spans 0.3 light-years across. This false-color image taken from the Hubble Space Telescope reveals the unusual details.

Inspiring Quotes for Sunday, April 27, 2025
Fear has a very concrete power of keeping us from doing and saying the things that are our purpose. Luvvie Ajayi In her popular 2017 TED Talk ¡°Get Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable,¡± bestselling author, speaker, and podcast host Luvvie Ajayi pointed out the undeniable power of fear. That powerful force can wind up controlling our actions ¡ª or inaction, as is often the case. But Ajayi encouraged her audience to use it as a motivator. ¡°I'm not going to let fear dictate what I do,¡± she said. ¡°Anything that scares me, I'm going to actively pursue it.¡± Feeling afraid doesn¡¯t have to be a warning sign of what to avoid; instead, it can act as a beacon, lighting a path for us to push outside our comfort zone, which is the only way to grow.

Which is why we¡¯re offering ours for free.¡± Old¡¯s Cool Academy Back-to-Basics Summer Camp starts July 1st. Learn more. From: Anu Garg (words at wordsmith.org) Subject: Eponyms derived from fiction In this week¡¯s A.Word.A.Day I asked our readers what fictional character they would like to turn into an eponym. Here¡¯s a selection from the responses. My candidate for eponym is (Kenneth) Widmerpool, the main character in Anthony Powell¡¯s 3,000-page, 12-novel cycle, A Dance to the Music of Time. He is a spectacularly, wonderfully, exuberantly loathsome character who reinvents himself so many times, so many ways, that it staggers the imagination. Nobody much likes him, with good reason, but by sheer force of will, he achieves great success -- for a while. I once had a Solomon Islands eclectus parrot baby I named Widmerpool, but he escaped the house. So, a Widmerpool would be a laughable, ridiculous figure who surprises you. A little, but only a little, like Trump. -Ben Silverman, Playas de Rosarito, Mexico (bajabensilverman gmail.com) Spock: Logical, not emotional. After Mr. Spock of Star Trek. -Oberon Zell, Asheville, North Carolina (oberon mcn.org) Tom Parsons: Someone who consistently works against their own best interests; a happy conformist who is making it clear to everyone that he¡¯s happily conforming, to keep himself safe from the judgement of other conformists. Everybody who reads 1984 thinks they would be Winston Smith and not Tom Parsons. Until the cage of rats. ¡°He loved Big Brother¡± is the most soul-crushing final line in literature. -Bill Young, Vernon, Connecticut (billsplut gmail.com) Yossarian: A person who seems paranoid but isn¡¯t, because people really are out to get him. After Capt. John Yossarian in Joseph Heller¡¯s novel, Catch-22. -Jim Distelhorst, Edmonds, Washington (jim.distelhorst gmail.com) Marlowe: To investigate someone or something of dubious character. After my favorite character in fiction, the down-at-the-heels private detective Philip Marlowe. -Tom Furgas, Youngstown, Ohio (tofu4879 gmail.com) Leibowitz: To study diligently. After the monks in Walter M. Miller Jr¡¯s classic sci-fi novel A Canticle for Leibowitz who spend centuries preserving the work of Isaac Edward Leibowitz, the patron of their order. -David Santangelo, Stevens Point, Wisconsin (dcsantangelo2005 comcast.net) Rick Blaine: to do the right thing in a difficult situation -- despite great personal cost. After Rick Blaine, owner of Rick¡¯s American Caf¨¦ in the film Casablanca, who did the right thing in giving up Ilsa to support the work of Laszlo fighting the Naz¦És. Example: President Biden rick blained when he withdrew his candidacy in the 2020 election, and threw his weight behind Kamala Harris, hoping to achieve a Democratic victory over Donald Trump. -Brenda J. Gannam, Brooklyn, New York (gannamconsulting earthlink.net) Snopes: A person lacking either conscience or ethics who achieves power and riches for his own needs. In his book The Hamlet William Faulkner creates the quietly cunning Flem Snopes, who quietly but effectively gains control of the riches and property of an entire community. Gradually but surely squeezing out more ethical competitors, he smothers what is good and traditional in the local culture. (All three volumes of the Snopes Trilogy are challenging reading in any decade, but perhaps very well-suited for the present!). -Dave Campbell, Dayton, Washington (museumofdave gmail.com) Scout: An extremely good-hearted, empathetic, thoughtful, confident, and highly int
