when dinosaurs still walked the Earth.

Imagine catching light that began its journey when dinosaurs still walked the Earth.  🦖

 The stunning image you’re looking at was captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, but the light itself has been traveling through space for 65 million years before finally reaching us from the spiral galaxy NGC 5134.

 Yes, exactly the same time as it has been since the Tyrannosaurus rex vanished from our planet. While Earth was still recovering from one of the largest extinctions in its history, the photons hitting Webb's mirrors tonight left their galaxy. And here’s the mind-bending part: in cosmic terms, this galaxy is actually our neighbor.  At “only” 65 million light-years away, Webb can resolve breathtaking details in its elegant spiral arms.

 Using its MIRI instrument, Webb detects the mid-infrared glow of warm cosmic dust, revealing tangled filaments and dense clouds where future stars may one day ignite.  Meanwhile, NIRCam captures the near-infrared light of stars and star clusters, illuminating the galaxy’s graceful structure like cosmic lanterns scattered across the spiral arms.

 What we’re seeing isn’t just a galaxy.

 It’s a time capsule from the deep past of the universe — light that has been crossing intergalactic space since the age of dinosaurs.

 And tonight… it finally reached our eyes.  🌌

 If this makes you feel small, curious, or amazed — you’re not alone.  The universe has that effect on us.

 ðŸ’¬ What’s the first thought that comes to your mind when you realize you’re looking 65 million years into the past?

Likendin is world's largest professional networking platform.

LinkedIn Used to Be Useful LinkedIn has long been recognized as the world's largest professional networking platform.  Since its launch in 2003, it has helped millions of people build careers, connect with employers, and share professional knowledge.  For many years, LinkedIn was considered one of the most valuable tools for job seekers, recruiters, and business professionals.  However, in recent years, many users have begun to feel that LinkedIn is not as useful as it once was.  While the platform still offers many benefits, changing trends and user behavior have altered its original purpose.  One of the biggest reasons people believe LinkedIn has become less useful is the increase in social media-style content.  Instead of sharing career advice, industry news, or professional achievements, many users now post personal stories, motivational quotes, and content designed to gain likes and comments.  Although these posts may inspire some readers, t...

As stated previously, the dog biting cannot be cured here. Rabies-infected dog bites can be fatal if not vaccinated on time.  Because of this, these dogs require proper management. We should be cautious of aggressive dogs.  A complete rabies vaccine should be given after any dog bite. It doesn't mean all dogs that bite humans are infected with rabies.  A dog that is abused by humans, trapped in a cage, or tied since birth can also be aggressive.  They can bite even if they are injured or sick.  But not all dogs bite.  How did the phrase "dog bite" come to be? People with limited intellect and education, such as ourselves, who do not comprehend dog behavior, tendencies, or inability to coexist, will say, "Dog bites." ’  Usually, a dog doesn't bite in a situation where it is not rabid, not injured, not harassed, not overwhelmed by hunger and thirst, not abused, and not scared.  We spread hatred toward the dogs whenever one of them appears to ...
