The James #Webb Space Telescope would probably not be your first choice for observing the large open #StarCluster of the #Pleiades but the authors of the paper "JWST imaging of the Pleiades: anisotropy of turbulence in the cold neutral medium" - https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.03672 - did it anyway, to study the turbulent energy cascade in the CNM the cluster happens to move through right now. Here is what they saw, with the NIRCam and the F335M filter - for the four cuts from the JWST pictures at the bottom in detail see fig. 2 of the paper.

What’s key to understand in Venezuela is that the US did a coup and got the president Maduro out.
But the regime is still there. The VP took power. Chavismo is still in charge. The armed forces, paramilitary, everyone is still around. The opposition, that likely won the last election, is still not in charge.
It’s really unusual. And shows the US, as usual with Trump, might not have much of a plan.
Good article on the new president Delcy Rodríguez

USA tar Venezuelas president. "SOON" postar närstående till Vita huset om Grönland. Tre imperier. En ordning som faller. Europa manar till återhållsamhet. Det räcker inte. Nu är tiden att agera.

Alexander Venner,
currently studying at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy,
picked his way by hand through the data collected by a now-retired NASA space-based telescope called Kepler,
which was used to examine the sky for exoplanets during a survey of 500,000 stars that ended 8 years ago.
Datasets like these are huge, and often combed through with search algorithms,
but the PhD student managed what others did not by rolling up his sleeves, so to speak.
