In a press release, NASA noted that the telescope's latest stunning image — which shows a binary star system called Wolf‑Rayet 140 just over 5,000 light-years away — resembles a human fingerprint, with its concentric rings of stardust, formed by light emanating from the two stars.

After unveiling a new and improved avatar at their Meta connect event recently that was, in fact, not that improved, questions are arising as to where all that money is going. They have, after all, spent billions of dollars on something people don’t seem to actually want and are not being transparent about any of it.
