I am currently 17 hrs 53 mins 30 secs of light-travel time from Earth (2021:321:000000:2L)

Greetings from high up on Mars’ Mount Sharp! My team combined two black-and-white images from different times of the day and added colors to make this artistic landscape. There’s beauty all around us if we let ourselves be inspired. Yours Truly, Curiosity go.nasa.gov/3l42PAn

We’ve touched the Sun! ☀️ Announced today at #AGU21, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has officially become the first spacecraft to fly through the Sun’s outer atmosphere, or corona. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3yrKYsL

Our preprint on Simple Standard for Sharing Ontology Mappings has been submitted and is up on arXiv.org arxiv.org/abs/2112.07051. SSSOM is a datamodel and exchange format for mappings between database entities, #ontology terms, etc. Thanks to Nicolas Matentzoglu for spearheading this!

There's no place like our home. #OTD in 1992, on its way to Jupiter, the Galileo spacecraft looked back at Earth from a distance of nearly 4 million miles (~6.4 million km). If you look closely at this composite photograph, you can spot Antarctica through the clouds!

Look closely, you can see where the greatest telescope we've ever built will leave Earth - hopefully on Christmas Eve! Details: bit.ly/3sfAlIg European Space Agency NASA Webb Telescope Canadian Space Agency

Join the NSF - NASASpaceflight.com team on Christmas morning for launch of the James Webb Space Telescope. Liftoff is scheduled for 7:20 am Eastern (12:20 UTC). @ChrisG_NSF is on location in French Guiana. youtu.be/5rARTOhbLDg

It’s been a busy evening! Not only did we just complete our second burn, but #NASAWebb also passed the altitude of the Moon as it keeps cruising on to the second Lagrange point to #UnfoldTheUniverse. Bye, ARCHIVED - NASA Moon! 👋 🌑

The year 2021 was one for the books, so what will 2022 bring? No matter what, remember: You are made of star stuff. Sparkly, glorious star stuff. ✨ #HappyNewYear from all of us at NASA!

We just finished deploying our sunshield today, but wait, there's more! #NASAWebb's secondary mirror is planned to be unfolded tomorrow, Jan. 5th, in the morning (Eastern time). Read more at the blog: go.nasa.gov/3HAJDmD #UnfoldTheUniverse

Today Chandra is studying stars in Canes Venatici. Nearby in the sky in M94, new stars are forming rapidly within a bright band called a starburst ring. The ring is likely caused by a pressure wave moving outward from the galaxy's center, compressing gas & dust in outer regions.

The dwarf galaxy Henize 2-10 has a black hole at its center—but instead of gobbling stars up, it's helping make new ones: go.nasa.gov/3Kv3iGR

Amazing ladies

🦋 The Butterfly Nebula’s cosmic wings have never looked better, thanks to observations from both Hubble and Chandra Observatory. This nebula formed after a star like our Sun used up most of its fuel and shed off its outer layers of material: go.nasa.gov/3rfImMI

I am so proud of our @ga4gh #clinPheno community! Special thanks to Monarch Initiative, HPO, and NHGRI for funding this work! #openscience #ontologies #RareDisease #precisionMedicine #cancer
