Galaxies on Instagram: "NASA has revealed a stunning image of the Sombrero Galaxy, located 30 million light-years away, captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. Taken with Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument, the photo showcases the galaxy’s glowing core and smooth inner disk, along with intricate dust structures in its outer ring—signs of emerging star-forming regions. In contrast to more active galaxies, the Sombrero Galaxy has a modest star formation rate and a relatively quiet supermassive bla

Galaxies on Instagram: "In a vacuum, all objects, regardless of their mass, fall at the same speed due to the absence of air resistance. This phenomenon is explained by Galileo’s principle of equivalence, which states that the acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects. Hence, a bowling ball and a feather will fall at the same rate in a vacuum. On planets with no atmosphere, such as Mercury, the same principle applies. Without atmospheric drag, the bowling ball and the feather exper
