25 years from the ESA & Hubble From planets to planetary nebula, and from star formation to supernova explosions, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a wealth of astronomical objects in its 25-year career. This montage presents 25 images that sample the space telescope’s rich contribution to our understanding of the Universe around us. Follow the links below for more information and credits. At the centre of the montage is star cluster Westerlund 2, the image released on the occasion of Hubble’s 25th anniversary.

Glittering new James Webb telescope image shows an 'intricate web of chaos' Photo of the week By Jamie Carter 4 hours ago This mash-up of data from the James Webb Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory reveals two galaxies mid-collision, with their spiral arms overlapping and bending toward their neighbors' cores. Quick Facts: What it is: The spiral galaxies NGC 2207 and IC 2163 Where it is: 120 million light-years away, in the constellation Canis Major When it was shared: Dec. 1, 2025 A stark new portrait of two colliding spiral galaxies combines different kinds of light to evoke the colors, shapes and moods of autumn. The image, which shows the galaxies NGC 2207 (lower right) and IC 2163 (upper left), was created by combining infrared light captured by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) with X-ray light from the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The spectacular layered image of NGC 2207 and IC 2163 is one of four Chandra-based composites that were published at the same time. The other three include NGC 6334, a star-forming region known for its arcs of glowing gas and dust; supernova remnant G272.2-0.3, where hot X-ray-emitting gas fills an expanding shell; and a star system called R Aquarii, where a white dwarf star sucks material from a red giant star.

Bangkok welcomes you with open arms! Let me know if you want more details about anything 🤗 we moved here from Canada

Jadon, I have no idea of what kind of plans you have in mind. For many Americans, visiting Europe is a nice cultural shock while at the same time not so extreme as visiting Africa or Asia or South America. There are many fascinating places to visit around here. Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece are great destinations, with a rich history, nice people and weather and great food. They are quite affordable too from an American point of view. France, Ireland or the UK are very interesting and enjoyable too. These are some of my favorite countries, not meaning others are not worth visiting too. Distances here are not long, all of Europe being within at most three hours by plane. And tickets are cheap. So depending on the time you have available, maybe it would be possible to visit more than one place. If you are interested, there are many European friends in the forums, as well as many Americans who recently traveled here and can offer some suggestions. There are branches in most countries and you are welcome to tour them, but don't forget to make reservations in advance. When you have a more concrete idea of where you will be visiting, I'm sure there are friends here who will be happy to meet you and show you around.

Ep1 of the Good News is on the home page of jw.org at the moment. Make good use of it in the ministry this week. The preview trailer is still available as well. You can show that on the door and encourage them to watch the full episode. And Ep2 and 3 will be openly available from January.

Yes. It's only giving me a partial preview....

There are captions embedded in the images on wol.jw.org. These captions are audio descriptions for the visually impaired. In the past I could long press on an image and a box would pop up with the caption. If the caption was too long, I could scroll and read the entire caption. Can't seem to do that now. It no longer scrolls. It just cuts off. Anyone else with this challenge? Samsung android tablet and phone.

Will You Hold a Grudge or Forgive From the Heart? Comment: The example of the apostle Paul highlights the power of true Christian love. Although he was misunderstood, criticized, and even disappointed by close brothers, he did not let these incidents distance him from the congregation. His love for the brothers and for Jehovah helped him to forgive generously, reflecting the spirit of Colossians 3:13. Practical Lesson: When we face disappointments in the congregation, we can choose to imitate Paul: instead of distancing ourselves, we should focus on the good qualities of the brothers and continue serving with joy. Genuine love helps us to forgive freely, strengthening our unity and promoting Christian peace.

I agree! Let’s not rush to judgment with the brother & his wife. Most lounges and bars that have a band, play jazz music or etc., have smoking. Whether they lit a cigarette or smoke from a water pipe there’s 100% smoking in the lounge or bar. I’m not there for the smoke 🤢😷 And we try to find a table away from anyone smoking. We came for the jazz, saxophone 🎷 music 🎶 The nice crispy wings and fries, and a nice Amaretto 🍸🥃 It’s unfortunate tho, that people smoke!

Hello my dear Sister, what was your decision later on and how did your experience turn out? Thank you!

Let's hope not!

This line under subheading Membership needs updating. However, should you become “no longer one of Jehovah’s Witnesses” via disassociation or disfellowshipping, to something like However, should you be removed as one Jehovah's Witnesses or disassociate yourself ...

I’ve never heard of a Hookah Lounge.

Lots of activity going on in California, including a 3.9 Mag in San Ramon https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/nc75283691/executive I wonder if something bigger is coming.

The Scripture that the Text focuses on makes me think of a Scripture in Matthew chapter 6: Matthew 6:14 "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you; whereas if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. I also liked where the Text said Paul had to maintain a positive view of his brothers and sisters. He in effect had to try to see them the way Jehovah views them. 1 Samuel 16:7 But Jehovah said to Samuel: "Do not pay attention to his appearance and how tall he is, for I have rejected him. For the way man sees is not the way God sees, because mere man sees what appears to the eyes, but Jehovah sees into the heart. "Love is what helped Paul to do what is mentioned in today's text." This especially made me think of a Scripture in Peter: 1 Peter 4:8 Above all things, have intense love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.

"Your trusting in Jehovah and not in your own understanding wil lead to His directing your steps". This part of the Text made me think of Proverbs 3:5 Trust in Jehovah with all your heart, And do not rely on your own understanding. The Scripture that the Text focuses on brought to mind other Scriptures for me also.... Ecclesiastes 8:9 All of this I have seen, and I applied my heart to every work that has been done under the sun, during the time that man has dominated man to his harm. This Scripture implies that man is not really equipped to lead man but we know that Jehovah is supposed to direct our steps like the Text is bringing out. There is another Scripture I think of it is in Jeremiah and it talks more about how man isn't supposed to lean on his own understanding: Jeremiah 10:23 I well know, O Jehovah, that man’s way does not belong to him. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.
