#Galaxy Lenses Galaxy from #Webb

The image shows two aligned galaxies, creating an Einstein ring through gravitational lensing. Captured by the Webb #Telescope, it reveals details of both galaxies and can inform on mass and light distribution.

#SFGiants #MLB

The Giants & #Angels are tied 0-0 going into the top of the 4th.

#Verlander made it thru the 3rd giving up no runs, no hits with 2ks & no BBs on 31 pitches thrown (22 of them for strikes). 👏👏👏

Here's hoping that Verlander has finally found his "stuff" & can keep it up thru the 5th, 6th or 7th.

And here's hoping that the Giants' hitters to get a few runs for the win & not do to Verlander what they did to #Webb the other day. 🙄

Go Giants!!!🥳🥳🥳
