: Jupiter’s south pole, as seen by NASA’s Juno spacecraft from an altitude of 52,000 kilometers. The oval features are cyclones, up to 1,000 kilometers in diameter. Multiple images taken with the JunoCam instrument on three separate orbits were combined to show all areas in daylight, enhanced color, and stereographic projection.

A detailed view looking up at Jupiter's south pole, showing swirling blue storms at the bottom and leading into browner and lighter bands at the outer edges.

Two views of the messy structure of gas velocity fields in realistic (? 🤞🏼 ) simulations of clusters of galaxies on large (>10kpc) scales.
The left panel show the amplitude of the full velocity field along the line of sight: red meaning the gas comes towards you, blue that it is receding. The scan goes from one side of the cluster towards the side next to the viewer.
In the second panel, motions ordered on scales >300kpc are filtered out.

(viruses that kill bacteria) are considered a potential approach to combat multidrug-resistant pathogens. However, they don't always deliver the desired results on their own. A research team at has now demonstrated that combining phages with an antibiotic is much more effective, at least in the lab, against a form of caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria 💪👩‍🔬.

Electron microscope image of a bacteriophage attaching to and infecting the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Black and white image. A bacterium runs through the picture as a gray elongated area. A small “pin with a head” can be seen on its surface (the phage). © Charité | Shailey Gale Twamley
