Reply to A group of galaxies called "Stephan's Quintet" was featured in the opening scene of the Christmas movie "It's A Wonderful Life" (1946), where angels were speaking from. Left is from the movie, right is from the James Webb Space Telescope. by Yoprobro13
That is so cool! When watching the movie I just assumed this was all a matte painting. Nice to see it was an actual astrophotograph.

Reply to me and my friends as Samhain witches by fel0ra
As a reminder on Samhain pronunciation, it's something like ""SOW- ihn" or "SOW- un," the Irish way.

Geez, I wish I could give you more than just one upvote for your honest question to balance your -7. Seems when somebody on Reddit says something to do with Ireland vs Northern Ireland, there's a flurry of downvotes. Not sure why.

Reply to are there noticeable differences between 1995 first picture and current images of the Pillars of Creation? by Realeron
While they are moving, I can't imagine the Pillars would have moved enough to notice, since the clouds are light years long.
But if you want to see actual movement of astronomical objects, look for the stars at the center of our galaxy. Over the course of years of observation since the late 1990's, you can see stars swing around the central black hole, Sag A*. Here's a link: https://youtu.be/TF8THY5spmo
