How’s “galactic archaeology” for a dream job? Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will have a unique capacity to look for "fossils" of galaxy formation with high-resolution imaging of galaxies in the nearby universe! go.nasa.gov/3XmijU2

Shine bright, NGC 5033 💖 The glowing heart of this galaxy is called an active galactic nucleus. Seen at the center of this #HubbleClassic view, it's powered by a supermassive black hole and shines brightly across the whole electromagnetic spectrum: go.nasa.gov/47sL453

Join us today for a special social takeover with Brian Williams to celebrate the first launch anniversary of JAXA(Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency)'s XRISM telescope! Stay tuned while he introduces himself and the work he does in X-ray astronomy.

The diversity of our NASA team is what brings different perspectives to our missions, and we celebrate and share their stories. To protect our people from personal attacks, we have decided to limit comments on these posts.

Thank you, Brian, for sharing with us what you do NASA! Stay tuned as we count down to the first launch anniversary of JAXA(Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency)'s XRISM telescope on Sept. 6!

Dr. Tyler Parsotan helps make “Swift” discoveries at Goddard! Tyler helps operate the Burst Alert Telescope on board the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory to study some of the most powerful astrophysical processes in the universe, like gamma-ray bursts. go.nasa.gov/4g9r8rI

Our shoebox-sized BurstCube satellite detected its first gamma-ray burst! These are the most powerful kinds of explosions in the cosmos. This one is called GRB 240629A, and it occurred in the southern constellation Microscopium: go.nasa.gov/3Mu77yz

? 🤔 Thanks to a cosmic magnifying glass effect, the gravity of a massive galaxy cluster is warping two distant interacting galaxies (a face-on spiral and a dusty red galaxy) behind it, making them appear multiple times, tracing a familiar shape. go.nasa.gov/3XbDE16

A NASA-developed material made of carbon nanotubes will enable our search for exoplanets—some of which might be capable of supporting life! Learn how this material is formed and how it could be used in future NASA Universe space missions: go.nasa.gov/4cRMJBV

A symphony of space! 🎵 This sonification of the galaxy NGC 6872 translates data from Chandra Observatory and Hubble into music. Volume is mapped to brightness, and the pitch is related to the distance from the center; the farther away, the higher the pitch: go.nasa.gov/3XbBU8a

Dark matter makes up 85% of all the matter in the universe, but we don’t know what it is. Cue in Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. In our latest "Small Steps, Giant Leaps" podcast episode, NASA's Dr. Lucas Paganini tells us how Roman will help unravel the mystery: go.nasa.gov/3TksHZZ

“You can only do things for the first time once..." ✨ #OTD 47 years ago, Voyager 1 launched into space, joining Voyager 2 among the stars. Sit back and celebrate their epic journey with this documentary, streaming now on NASA+: plus.nasa.gov/video/jpl-and-…

#OTD in 1977, Voyager 1 joined its twin, Voyager 2, in exploring the cosmos. Since then, NASA Voyager has visited the outer planets in our solar system and both have gone where no other human-made objects have gone before! go.nasa.gov/3yV6smE
