The VERITAS Collaboration was featured in Monday night's episode of "Space's Deepest Secrets" on Science Channel, leading us to believe they're also Hollywood rock stars.

Check out these photos that the team from NASA's OSIRIS-REx took of the Asteroid Bennu. Our team used asteroids Penelope and Imprinetta recently to measure the angular diameter of the smallest stars in the night sky. Asteroids rock! #PunIntended

30 years ago this week the Whipple collaboration published this paper: "Observation of TeV gamma rays from the Crab nebula using the atmospheric Cerenkov imaging technique" and a new field of astronomy was born.

A powerful outburst in a distant galaxy produced photons with high enough energies to be detected by ground-based telescopes for the first time. smithmag.co/G3kRKD
