The cosmic cloud shown here is made of cold hydrogen gas, like the rest of the Eagle Nebula. In such regions of space new stars are born among the collapsing clouds. Hot, energetic and formed in great numbers, the stars unleash an onslaught of ultraviolet light and stellar winds that sculpt the gas clouds around them. This produces fantastical shapes like the narrow pillar with blossoming head that we see here. ( ESA / Hubble & NASA, K.

Born in Argentina, Jorge Mario Bergoglio first joined the Catholic priesthood in 1969. He was named the archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998 and was elected pope in 2013, choosing the papal name of Francis. As the new head of the Catholic Church, Francis brought an openness to debate; a renewed focus on the dignity and rights of immigrants, the poor, and Indigenous peoples; and more accommodating views toward LGBTQ issues—though he stopped short of urging significant changes in Church doctrine. Denouncing wasteful consumption, Francis also championed a moral view on environmental issues and our responsibility to care for our planet and one another.

From April to June 2024, record-breaking rainfall in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, led to the worst flood in the area’s history. More than half a million people were displaced, and more than 183 died in the floods. According to scientists, climate change—driven primarily by the burning of fossil fuels, including those used in passenger air travel—almost certainly intensified the floods. In the larger context of the global climate crisis, this image of a plane suspended between sky and water becomes a foreboding symbol.
