Explanation: Galaxies of the NGC 7771 Group are featured in this intriguing skyscape. Some 200 million light-years distant toward the constellation Pegasus, NGC 7771 is the large, edge-on spiral near center, about 75,000 light-years across, with two smaller galaxies below it. Large spiral NGC 7769 is seen face-on to the right. Galaxies of the NGC 7771 group are interacting, making repeated close passages that will ultimately result in galaxy-galaxy mergers on a cosmic timescale. The interactions can be traced by distortions in the shape of the galaxies themselves and faint streams of stars created by their mutual gravitational tides. But a clear view of this galaxy group is difficult to come by as the deep image also reveals extensive clouds of foreground dust sweeping across the field of view. The dim, dusty galactic cirrus clouds are known as Integrated Flux Nebulae. The faint IFN reflect starlight from our own Milky Way Galaxy and lie only a few hundred light-years above the galactic plane.

APOD - Southern Moonscape

Astronomy Picture of the Day

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

Southern Moonscape

Explanation: The Moon's south pole is toward the top left of this detailed telescopic moonscape. Captured on August 23, it looks across the rugged southern lunar highlands. The view's foreshortened perspective heightens the impression of a dense field of craters and makes the craters themselves appear more oval shaped close to the lunar limb. Prominent near center is 114 kilometer diameter crater Moretus. Moretus is young for a large lunar crater and features terraced inner walls and a 2.1 kilometer high, central peak, similar in appearance to the more northerly young crater Tycho. Mountains visible along the lunar limb at the top can rise about 6 kilometers or so above the surrounding terrain. Close to the lunar south pole, permanently shadowed crater floors with expected reservoirs of water-ice have made the rugged south polar region of the Moon a popular target for exploration.

Should you really trust your gut?

In a Nutshell

I know that I have a strong intuition. My "sixth sense" is great at sussing out seemingly kind yet manipulative people or when a place or situation just feels … off.

I'm also an anxious person who struggles with self-doubt and overthinking everything. This means that my intuitive gut feelings are often overshadowed by my silly little brain that tries to dissuade me under the guise of "logic" or "reason." *sigh*

How can you really tell when to listen to your gut? What's the difference between intuition and anxiety? This is something I'm actively working on in therapy — and what we'll be covering in today's main story.

what's got us buzzing

Gut feelings are real, but when should you trust them?

Gut feelings can take many forms:

a flash of clarity
tension or tightness in your body
a pit in your stomach
goosebumps
a feeling of being at peace
a nagging voice that you just can't ignore

They can also look and feel a lot like anxiety or paranoia, which is probably why I have such a hard time decoding which is which. But there are some key differences to pay attention to. ️

Intuition often leads you in a clear direction in the present moment, while anxious thoughts are erratic and focus on future outcomes. Gut feelings pass once you make a decision and usually leave you with a sense of relief. But anxiety lingers and makes you think twice — or 20 times — about your choice, leading you to doubt yourself and look for potential threats that may be irrational.

Here's a personal example for you. I recently debated signing the lease on a new apartment. The location, size, and price all aligned with my needs, the landlord was super kind, and it felt like home when I went to the showing. I even called my mom after I got in my car and said, "That's my place! I know it." ️

I found out my application was approved 3 days later. Yay! Right? Nope. My brain immediately spiraled into every worst-case scenario and potential reason why I should say no, overpowering every positive thought and feeling beforehand.

The dog downstairs is going to bark at all hours and ruin my life! Even though I didn't hear it when I visited.

The neighbors are going to throw parties and disrupt my sleep. Despite the landlord saying they're quiet and respectful.

I'm going to lose my job and not be able to afford the rent! Healthline, please don't fire me.

When I finally tuned out of my head and grounded into my body, I felt a strange sense of calm — almost a deep knowing — that I should take the leap and go for it. Yes, change is scary, which is probably what spiked my anxiety, but I decided to sign the lease, and I've felt excited and confident about the move ever since! Take that, anxiety.

You may not always have enough experience or important details before making a decision. You might want to rely on your intuition for more insight in times like these:

when you can separate it from wishful thinking
when you need to make a quick decision
when you're trying to get in touch with your needs
when you lack data (tap into your emotions!)

As an anxious person, trusting my gut doesn't always come naturally. I'm good at tapping into it in lower stakes situations, but I still talk through bigger decisions with my therapist or best friend to play it safe. I'm hoping I'll get better at trusting myself with enough practice. All I know is listening to my gut hasn't steered me wrong yet — but anxiety definitely has.
