Bucketlist capture early this morning over Kansas. After thousands of hours with TLE's , finally a Giagantic Jet- still in disbelief. It also may be the furthest north ever captured- lots of analysis to do on this one. #kswx #okwx NASA Earth

Galaxy M64—in this Hubble image—revealed a surprise: Gas in its outer regions is rotating in the opposite direction of the galaxy’s pinwheel arms. It’s likely the last evidence of a long-ago collision with a smaller galaxy that has been almost completely absorbed. Credit: NASA

Giant rays from May 10/11 2024 Abraham Lake, AB. Check out the timelapse for a variety of ray colours and motions. See anything out of the ordinary?#aurora

Zoom in to a glowing nebula and stars like sand grains in the Triangulum galaxy (M33), a testament to the power of Hubble. Triangulum is a cosmic neighbor to our Milky Way galaxy, located 2.7 million light-years away. Credit: NASA, ESA, STScI.

Chandra & NASA Webb Telescope together again! The Crab Nebula is the result of a supernova explosion seen by people on Earth in the year 1054. Located about 6,500 light-years from Earth, the neutron star at its center is roughly 20 km in diameter and it rotates about 30 times per second!

Happy 25th anniversary, Chandra!🥳 25 new images to celebrate our special day, from nearby supernova remnants to groups of galaxies more than 10 billion light-years away! Experience them all at: s.si.edu/Chandra25 #Chandra25

A straight-edged shadow appeared, disappeared and reappeared on the opposite side of a lightning strike. Can someone explain this phenomena? Tokyo, Japan 7/20/24 20:05 after a day of 96°. I could see the split sky as it happened live. Video slowed down.

The Little Dumbbell Nebula in Perseus Messier 76

We have special feelings about this galaxy group ourselves! It was one of the first full-color images we released!

Located about 54 million light-years from Earth, this system contains a pair of merging galaxies in the Virgo Cluster commonly referred to as 'The Eyes'. X-rays emitted by multimillion-degree gas in the region are detected by Chandra (purple).

Chandra shows light from the supermassive black hole in the galaxy's center, neutron stars, & black holes pulling in matter. NASA Webb Telescope finds dust, gas, & stars throughout the galaxy and Hubble shows the view in optical light. NGC 3627 is about 36 million light-years away.

The eerie eye of a Phantom in the sky… Here’s an updated look at M74, also known as the Phantom Galaxy. New Webb data is allowing scientists a better look at its stellar nurseries. esawebb.org/images/potm241…

Hats off to you, NASA Webb Telescope! 🎩 Now, both Hubble and Webb have observed M104 – nicknamed the Sombrero Galaxy. Webb's new mid-infrared view shows the smooth inner disk of the galaxy, and highlights how the clumpy gas in the outer ring is distributed: go.nasa.gov/4i7cIJq

A jet produced by a supermassive black hole in Centaurus A is slamming into an unidentified object in its path. The object, called C4, is located at the point of a patch of V-shaped X-rays. Each arm of that "V" is at least 700 light-years long! More: s.si.edu/CenA24

Blue Ghost reached her final pit stop in Cape Canaveral before our #GhostRiders embark on the main leg of our journey to the Moon! As we prepare for launch in mid-January, join us for a live teleconference with NASA to learn more about the tech and science flying on board the

Expand your imagination 🍥 What appears to be a single galaxy is actually two that are far apart! The closer galaxy is in the image's center, while the more distant galaxy appears to be wrapped around it in a rare phenomenon we call an “Einstein ring.” esawebb.org/images/potm250…

What does star formation look like in extreme environments? 🌟 Webb & MeerKAT (a ground-based radio telescope) took a look at Sagittarius C, a star-forming region located in the heart of our galaxy, near the supermassive black hole at its core. go.nasa.gov/42fnmHe
