Fw: Astronomy Picture of the Day (5/29/2025): Irregular Dwarf Galaxy Sextans A
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 May 29 Irregular Dwarf Galaxy Sextans A Image Credit & Copyright: Franz Hofmann, Gemsbock Observatory Explanation: Grand spiral galaxies often seem to get all the attention, flaunting young, bright, blue star clusters and pinkish star forming regions along graceful, symmetric spiral arms. But small galaxies form stars too, like irregular dwarf galaxy Sextans A. Its young star clusters and star forming regions are gathered into a gumdrop-shaped region a mere 5,000 light-years across. Seen toward the navigational constellation Sextans, the small galaxy lies some 4.5 million light-years distant. That puts it near the outskirts of the local group of galaxies, that includes the large, massive spirals Andromeda and our own Milky Way. Brighter Milky Way foreground stars appear spiky and yellowish in this colorful telescopic view of Sextans A.

Inspiring Quotes for Thursday, May 29, 2025
Hope There are no wrong turnings. Only paths we had not known we were meant to walk.~ Guy Gavriel Kay Guy Gavriel Kay Canadian fantasy author (1954-present) A defining feature of fantasy author Guy Gavriel Kay¡¯s novels is his tendency to set them in fictional locales that resemble real places, rather than wholly fabricated fantasy worlds such as J.R.R. Tolkien¡¯s Middle-earth. For example, ¡°A Song for Arbonne¡± is set in an analogue of medieval Provence, France, and ¡°The Sarantine Mosaic¡± takes place in a version of sixth-century Byzantium with a fantastical twist. In his epic 1990 novel ¡°Tigana,¡± set in a world resembling Renaissance Italy, a group of rebels conspire to overthrow occupying forces and reclaim their homeland. While walking the winding darkened hallways of an ancient castle, Devin, one of the novel¡¯s protagonists, remembers something he had once been told: ¡°There are no wrong turnings. Only paths we had not known we were meant to walk.¡± It¡¯s a reminder to journey on even when the path seems lost ¡ª and that other ways are sure to open up to us as long as we keep the faith.

Follow our live blog below to see who advanced. The winners of MasterChef: Dynamic Duos will win the trophy, the title, and $250,000. Let's see who secures their white aprons!Battle 1 Darce and Courtney (animal ER nurses) vs. Kayla and Ryan Kate (former MasterChef Junior contestants) Darce and Courtney: Vegan Lomo Saltado with Lion's Mane Mushrooms, Rice, and Aji Amarillo Paste. Gordon says it's "delicious" and compliments the dish's "warmth" and "rustic charm." Tiffany likes it but wants more salt or soy in the dish. Joe loves that it's "unapologetically vegan" and the technique is good. Kayla and Ryan Kate: Pan-Seared Sea Bass with Lemon Garlic Spinach, Saut¨¦ed Cherry Tomatoes, White Beurre Blanc, and Toasted Breadcrumbs. It's "visually beautiful" with "finesse" and Gordon compliments the cook on the fish. However, he's disappointed that they covered the fish in tomatoes, which makes it soggy. Tiffany compliments the "light spinach" and buttery beurre blanc. Joe is a fan of the breadcrumbs, which add crunch and another aspect of flavor to the dish. Winners: Kayla and Ryan Kate Battle 2 Javi and Luis (firefighters) vs. Kevin and Trey (best friends) Javi and Luis: Chipotle Turkey Burger with Bacon Jam, Baby Gem Caesar Salad, and Homemade Croutons. Gordon is impressed that the turkey burger is moist and even calls it "delicious." Tiffany loves the chorizo in the dish, but the caesar salad is awkwardly plated. Joe says it's the best turkey burger he's ever had in his life. However, he slams the salad, which still contains the rusty knot at the base of the iceberg lettuce head. Kevin and Trey: Filet Mignon with Mashed Potatoes, Roasted Carrots, and Brandy Peppercorn Sauce. Gordon says it's "elegant" and "looks good." The steak is cooked and seasoned well, but the sauce is a bit "over-reduced." Tiffany compliments the carrots, saying the have good texture and are well-seasoned. Joe appreciates the technique and calls the dish "spot on." Winners: Kevin and Trey Battle 3 Milah and Lisa (glam-mas) vs. Tonna and Cait (mother and daughter) Milah and Lisa: Carolina Sea Scallops with Pureed Parsnips, Peas, Hearts of Palm, and Candied Plums. Tiffany calls it "modern and hip" and Gordon compliments the cook on the scallops. However, there's too much "sweet" on the plate without enough acid. Tonna and Cait: Bison Steak with Sweet Potato Puree, Green Beans, and Red Wine Reduction Mushroom Sauce. Gordon calls it "very South Dakota," but Tiffany screams, "That bison is niiice!" The one negative comment was that the mashed potatoes were "grainy."Winners: Tonna and Cait Battle 4 Rachel and Julio (married) vs. Spencer and McKenna (married) Rachel and Julio: Gambas Al Ajillo with Seared Shrimp, Creamy Polenta, Spanish Chorizo, and Parmesan Crisps. It's a visually stunning dish and Gordon says that the gambas are cooked beautifully. However, the polenta is too rich ¡ª Gordon says he probably couldn't eat more than two bites of it. Spencer and McKenna: Fried Chicken with Southern Green Beans, Mashed Potatoes, and Herb Gravy. Gordon loves the color on the chicken and Tif
