Eagle Nebula in spooky palette [MIRI] - JWST

Just saw this stationary vertical red stripe in the sky, looking west from northern England. There for at least 2 minutes. Any ideas what it was?

why does the PNLF work for distance determination?

Ive done a bit of research on planetary nebulae and stumbled across the planetary nebula luminosity function. I couldnt find a source explaining why it works and i couldnt really think of an explanation myself. Does anybody know the answer or do you have good ideas? :)

Debating Pathways Program Internship (T.O.)

I applied for different internship positions and got accepted for an interview for one of them. I just received a TO but don’t know if I should accept it or not. My worries are having to leave school for a semester (possibly losing some financial aid), having to relocate to another state I’m unfamiliar with, the length of the program (3 work tours), and the position of the internship. I don’t have my career interests figured out which is why I applied to this position randomly and didn’t expect to get accepted. At the same time, this could be a huge opportunity for me as someone who hasn’t had any prior experience in this business-related field and could end up being a field I enjoy. This is a very large commitment one must take so I’ve been anxiously looking at the pros and cons of this situation and am no longer sure what path I should take. If any one can give advice that would be great!

The Artemis 1 countdown clock has entered a built-in hold at T-minus 6 hours, 40 minutes. This hold will last three-and-a-half hours as NASA teams prepare to start cryogenic tanking of the Artemis 1 moon rocket. Liftoff is set for 1:04am EST (0604 GMT). https://t.co/KKlPNQaJif https://t.co/xZneCZFF0N

Techs will begin fueling @NASA_SLS this afternoon. Teams will fuel the rocket's massive upper and core stages before tomorrow's #Artemis I launch. Tanking coverage starts at 3:30 p.m. ET: https://t.co/KuCWWmfzwS https://t.co/wtT4ka8IZh
