Trump’s new tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber could gut U.S. toilet paper and paper towel supplies. With over 2 million tons of pulp imported last year, the U.S. depends on this specific Canadian fiber.Universeodon Social Media

I look at a lot of space images, but this one made my eyes bug out like a cartoon character.
What you see here isn't a spiral galaxy, exactly. It's a spiral galaxy whose image was bent into a circle by the gravity of an elliptical galaxy visible at the center.

The image depicts a woman in mid-air, seemingly floating or levitating. She has long, flowing blonde hair and is wearing a white, flowing dress with intricate red and orange embroidery on the sleeves and hem. The dress is cinched at the waist with a brown belt adorned with beads and tassels. She carries a brown leather bag with fringe details over her shoulder. Her legs are wrapped in white fabric, and she is barefoot. The woman's hands are outstretched, with a glowing effect emanating from them, suggesting a magical or ethereal quality. The background is a soft, cloudy sky, enhancing the mystical atmosphere. The overall color palette is warm, with a focus on whites, browns, and subtle hints of red and orange.
