Is there another Earth hiding out among the planets outside our Solar System? With 5000 discovered so far, there very well might be ... let's take a closer look 🔭🕵️‍♂️🌌 #space #planets #astronomy #exoplanets

#OTD 24 April 1990, the launch of the #NASA/#ESA HUBBLE Telescope🔭on STS-31 #Discovery from pad 39B at the NASA's Kennedy Space Center Space Centre. Still going strong 32 years later! ESA Science ESA Webb Telescope NASA History Office 👉 esa.int/Science_Explor…

That's no comet. Below the Pleiades is actually a planet: Mercury. Long exposures by Sebastian Voltmer reveal something unexpected: a tail. Mercury's thin atmosphere contains small amounts of sodium that glow when excited by light from the Sun [read more: buff.ly/3OUOeEC]

I spent 7 hours shooting around a million photos of our sun, hoping to capture a solar flare. What I captured was incredible- back to back flares launching material into space!

Have you seen the picture of the black hole at the center of our galaxy? The image of Sagittarius A* (inset) was taken by @EHTelescope. Now see it in context with support from our @ChandraXray, Swift and NuSTAR observatories. Here's what the colors mean: go.nasa.gov/3yya5vX

Where is NASA likely headed for its next big space missions? An ocean moon 🌊 and an ice giant ❄ #space #solarsystem #nasa

It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for… After a six-month process of aligning Webb’s mirror and preparing its science instruments, NASA Webb Telescope is scheduled to debut its first full color images & data July 12th! Can't wait until we #UnfoldtheUniverse! go.nasa.gov/3GIwI2P

NASA’s Space Launch System rocket with Artemis I is poised to return to Launch Complex 39B on Monday for its next attempt at completing the pre-launch wet dress rehearsal test. First motion at 12:01am, a little under six hours from now.
