For managing Pictures in the Photo Application between my MacBook and iPhone - I want to be able to delete pictures from the iPhone but they always come back from the MacBook Pro?
How can I keep pictures from always coming back?

Apologies for not using correct nomenclature / terms - I am not much of a chiphead.

Is there a good resource for using Photo Application for both the Laptop and...

How do I get my photos from my iPhone to my Mac?

3 September 2026 at 02:12
Hi,

I have to send from photos to a friend. I took these photos on my iPhone 5C (about 6 or 7 pics) and I'd like to transfer them to my Mac laptop (OSX 10.7.5) and then send them as attachments to an email to my friend. But I don't know how to do any of this. Sorry, I'm not really a power user and I don't usually take many photos. Of course, I do know how to send an attachment to an email but I don't know how to get the photos from my iPhone to my Mac. I have the latest version of iTunes...

Featured Image: A Pulsar in a Nebula in a Supernova Remnant

31 August 2026 at 17:00

When a massive star collapses, the subsequent supernova can leave behind the star’s condensed core in the form of a neutron star. Some neutron stars are also pulsars, which rotate at incredible speeds, emit beamed radio emission, and expel winds of charged particles. A pulsar’s relativistic charged-particle winds billow around the pulsar as it travels through space — often at a few hundreds of kilometers per second or faster, having received a “kick” when its progenitor star exploded. When these winds interact with the surrounding supernova ejecta or the interstellar medium, the interaction creates a detectable pulsar wind nebula. The image above combines data from the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (orange) and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (cyan) to show a pulsar wind nebula, indicated with a white rectangle, within a larger supernova remnant. Sanja Lazarević (Western Sydney University) and collaborators discovered this pulsar wind nebula, which they’ve named “Thunder” in a nod to the supernova remnant’s moniker, “Nimbus.” The cometary shape of the pulsar wind nebula suggests that the pulsar is moving quickly, traveling outward from the center of the explosion that occurred some 30,000–45,000 years ago. To learn more about the discovery and characterization of this pulsar wind nebula, check out the article linked below.

multiwavelength view of SS 433 / W50

The supernova remnant W50 — nicknamed “the Manatee” because its blobby radio emission resembles an aquatic mammal floating through starry waters — harbors an extreme system at its heart. Near the center of the remnant, the microquasar SS 433 exhibits an immense pair of relativistic jets, likely powered by a stellar-mass black hole accreting material from a companion star. In the image of W50/SS 433 above, radio emission is in red, optical light is in yellow, and soft, medium, and hard X-ray emission are in green, cyan, and magenta, respectively. Brydyn Mac Intyre (University of Manitoba) and collaborators focused on the region circled above, using NuSTAR and XMM-Newton to understand the source of the X-ray emission in that region and the potential for SS 433 to accelerate particles to relativistic velocities. These observations suggest that W50/SS 433 accelerates electrons up to energies of more than 100 teraelectronvolts, and it may launch other particles into the highly sought-after petaelectronvolt range. To learn more about the particle-acceleration possibilities in this remarkable region, be sure to check out the full research article linked below.
