The NASA Webb Telescope image release will now be at 5:30 p.m. ET! youtube.com/watch?v=Z13QK1…

HERE IT IS 😍

Nebula = shells of dust and gas from dying sun-like stars. A key way to study the evolution of stars in the universe.

We're all made of stardust 💛

NASA is hiring two science video producers to focus on stories about our solar system! 🌞 Apply here: kbr.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/KBR_Careers/jo…

Webb's first image of an exoplanet! 😮

🚨We’re hiring! NASA Earth Observatory is hiring a science writer. Help us tell great stories about: 🌎 Earth science 🌡 climate and weather 🏔 geology 🛰 technology This awesome gig with a fantastic team is remote-friendly, too: go.nasa.gov/3Rcg5AZ

IMPACT SUCCESS! Watch from #DARTMIssion’s DRACO Camera, as the vending machine-sized spacecraft successfully collides with asteroid Dimorphos, which is the size of a football stadium and poses no threat to Earth.

Satellite images offer insight into a storm's intensity. #Landsat 8 passed over Hurricane Ian’s eye as it approached southwest Florida. The eye of a hurricane is a circular zone of fair weather at the storm’s center, surrounded by an eyewall of the strongest winds.

the red regions are bb stars only a few hundred yrs old 😍

It's a rare treat to spend time in the darkest of skies. Left on the cutting room floor were clips of us reacting to numerous constellations, shooting stars, and coyote howls 😁

The best thing was witnessing Paul M Smith make Burcu Kosar, Ph.D.’s dream come true 🥹

A gorgeous filament show from earlier today ☀️ 1st, a large quite-Sun filament below AR 13188 and a beautiful CME in the corona. 2nd, a smaller active-region filament from AR 13190 and a fainter CME in the corona. Neither seems Earth-directed by a glancing encounter is possible.

Why do we get auroras on Earth after eruptions occur on the Sun? A thread. 🧵 ⬇️⬇️⬇️ (Images: Left: a solar flare captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. Right: Aurora seen from Lummi Island, Washington, at 10:54 p.m. PT on May 10, 2024. Credit: Jeff Carter)

We've been nominated for TWO Emmys! 🎉 NASA’s coverage of the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse just earned nominations for "Outstanding Live News Special" and "Outstanding Show Open or Title Sequence – News" (embedded below ⬇️). The winners are set to be unveiled at a

One year ago today, the Sun unleashed a torrent of eruptions that caused the biggest geomagnetic storm in over two decades. Auroras filled the skies as far south as Mexico! 🤩 But the storm’s impacts reached even farther and wider than you might think. Here’s some of what
