NGC 188: Old Cluster in the New General Catalog
Photo of the Day The New General Catalog of star clusters and nebulae really isn't so new. In fact, it was published in 1888 - an effort by J. L. E. Dreyer to consolidate the work of astronomers William, Caroline, and John Herschel along with others into a useful single, complete catalog of astronomical [...]
The Conjunction of Comet R3 PanSTARRS and the Orion Nebula
Photo of the Day Today’s composite image features something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue! Comet R3 PanSTARRS, streaking across the right of the image, likely originated from the Oort Cloud, meaning it is an old Solar System relic from billions of years ago. It’s bright extended ion tail glows blue as [...]

Moon Setting Behind Teide Volcano
Photo of the Day These people are not in danger. What is coming down from the left is just the Moon, far in the distance. Luna appears so large here because she is being photographed through a telescopic lens. What is moving is mostly the Earth, whose spin causes the Moon to slowly disappear [...]
SWE Expands Member Benefits With New Licensure Prep Partnership with PPI, a Kaplan Company
SWE is expanding its member benefits through a new partnership with PPI, a Kaplan Company, to provide discounted, high-quality FE and PE exam preparation resources that support engineers in their licensure journey. Source
Comet R3 PanSTARRS and Orion
Photo of the Day Orion never had a sword like this. As Comet C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS) heads out of the inner Solar System, it is putting on quite a show for long exposure cameras. Currently seen toward the constellation of Orion the Hunter, the distant Orion Nebula is visible on the upper right. Comet [...]
Comet R3 PanSTARRS Before Rigel
Photo of the Day Which way is Comet R3 PanSTARRS going? Not towards the star at the top of the image, because that is Rigel, which, being far in the background, is unrelated to the comet. Not through the nebula in the image middle, because that is the Witch Head Nebula and it, too, [...]
Why the Future of AI Needs More Women in Technology Leadership
SWE member and technology leader Figen Ozmen argues that AI isn't failing because of bad models — it's failing because of who isn't in the room. Source
