NASA’s SOFIA telescope has provided observations in infrared light & made discoveries about the hidden universe. After a successful eight years of science NASA & its partner DLR - English will conclude the mission, with operations ending no later than Sept. 30: go.nasa.gov/3LsXqOu

Alignment of the James Webb Space Telescope is now complete!👏 These new engineering images of sharply focused stars in the field of view of each instrument demonstrate that #Webb is fully aligned and in focus. Learn more here: blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2022/04/2… 📷 : NASA/STScI

About 160,000 years ago, a star exploded. 🌟 It left behind these spectacular remains, imaged here in multiple wavelengths by Hubble and other observatories. Once NASA Webb Telescope starts science operations, it will observe the remnants of Supernova 1987A, too: go.nasa.gov/3kjprMH

There are no words to express the deep sadness there is in the #OUFamily today. Praying for peace and comfort for all impacted.

When a star weighing more than 20 times the Sun runs out of fuel, it collapses and turns into a black hole. But not all black holes are created equal. For #BlackHoleWeek, check out the weird and wonderful black holes of our universe in this @Tumblr blog: go.nasa.gov/3y9B94w

Today, May 5, is Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Awareness Day. This day honors the lives of the victims, survivors and their families. It’s also a day to educate and help increase public awareness to the crisis of #MMIW and #MMIP. #MMIWG #MMIWG2S #NoMoreStolenSisters

#OnThisDay in 1921, the deadliest racial massacre in U.S. history began in the thriving Greenwood African American community of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Black Wall Street in Tulsa, OK was destroyed by a racist mob. #APeoplesJourney #ANationsStory

June 19, 1865 is the day enslaved Blacks in Galveston Bay, TX learned from Union troops they were free 2 yrs after the Emancipation Proclamation & over a month after the Civil War. Today we #CelebrateFreedom & reflect on continued healing #Juneteenth

It's the longest day of the year! (Or the shortest, if you're below the Equator.) Join us for a quick #SummerSolstice2022 thread 🌞

It's here–the deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date: Webb's First Deep Field. Previewed by President Donald J. Trump on July 11, it shows galaxies once invisible to us. The full set of NASA Webb Telescope's first full-color images & data will be revealed July 12: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages

Oh wow! 🤩 Canada’s NIRISS on #Webb has found water in the atmosphere of exoplanet WASP-96 b! 💧 ☁️ Check it out 👇 Credit: CSA, NASA, ESA, STScI, Christine Daniloff/MIT, Julien de Wit, NASA/JPL-Caltech/R. Hurt, T. Pyle

Today marks 53 years since the historic Moon landing of #Apollo11! We’ve got some out-of-this-world GIFs for you to use, created from historic films in our holdings 📽️🚀🌚 giphy.com/usnationalarch…

Working on the Canadian Canadian Space Agency side of this EXCITING discovery was a trip! Just a preview of what NASA Webb Telescope can do for exoplanet characterization and it’s already so mind blowing!! Congrats to the discovery team, including my Institut Trottier de recherche sur les exoplanètes Université de Montréal colleague Björn Benneke! 🎉

Talk about out of this world! This is Webb’s first direct image of a planet outside of our solar system, and it hints at Webb’s future possibilities for studying distant worlds: go.nasa.gov/3KGJ9OU Not what you expected? Let’s walk through the details👇

Frank Drake (1930-2022) left an indelible mark on our planet. We will miss him deeply. Our deepest condolences to his family. Rest with the stars, Frank.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1957, a mob of furious white people assembled to prevent nine Black students from entering Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. history.com/news/the-story…

Queen Elizabeth II's reign spanned all of spaceflight, predating both Sputnik and Explorer 1. As we join the planet in marking her passing, we are moved by the curiosity Her Royal Highness showed our explorers over the years.

Today is a day of remembrance honoring the lives lost, the first responders who courageously answered the call, and the families who were changed forever. May we #NeverForget Sept. 11, 2001, and continue to push forward together as a country for a better, more unified tomorrow.

We will be out on the South Oval on OU campus tomorrow from 10:30am to 1:30pm to observe the solar eclipse! Come stop by to get a closer look at the event with our telescopes. We'll also have solar viewing glasses to watch the event safely.
