Join us as Dr. Eduardo Vitral talks about how advancements in Hubble observation techniques have improved our understanding of dark matter's nature, marking a significant step forward in the study of our universe—on Tuesday, May 7. youtube.com/live/_NosasFa1…
From their peaks in Hawaii and Chile, @GeminiObs’s twin telescopes can access the entire sky. The first two images are Gemini North in Hawaii and Gemini South in Chile. The third shows the Carina Nebula from Gemini South. Take a closer look: gemini.edu #AURAPartners
April 25. Not too hot, not too cold. 😌 #NASAWebb is helping astronomers determine whether a planet that is perfect like April 25 exists. Its infrared instruments enable scientists to search and study a diverse range of exoplanet atmospheres, from rocky planets to gas giants.
This is an illustration of K2-18 b, an exoplanet similar to Neptune. Between the early 1990s and the beginning of #NASAWebb’s observations in 2022, more than 5,000 exoplanets had been detected in the Milky Way. See how Webb studies exoplanets: bit.ly/49MLvHr
Did you know that Hubble has not only expanded our understanding of the universe, it has impacted innovations here on Earth? From enhancing detection imagery to tracking endangered species, Hubble has helped shape our lives and society. #HubbleGotchu Credit: D. Kirshenblat/STScI
🎶 You spin one wheel in, you turn the next wheel out, you pivot another wheel upside down, and you turn Roman all about 🎶 Roman's eight reaction wheels will rotate the spacecraft with great precision to point at specific areas of the sky. Progress: go.nasa.gov/3xOq0br
What a show! To celebrate the 34th launch anniversary of the legendary Hubble telescope, NASA is sharing its observation of the Little Dumbbell Nebula—an expanding double-sided bubble of glowing gasses from a dying star: bit.ly/3W2Kfw2
The Space Telescope Science Institute's principal science visuals developer Joe DePasquale shares his thoughts about serendipitous Hubble observations of asteroids. illuminateduniverse.org/2024/04/19/ast…
Our AURA partner, Cerro Tololo is a complex of telescopes and instruments in Chile, at an altitude of 2,200 meters (7,200 feet), and is part of @NOIRLabAstro. At right is the Carina Nebula, as observed by Cerro Tololo: noirlab.edu/public/program… #AURAPartners

Check our new press release on our last #HubbleAsteroidHunter paper, where we pulled together more than 10,000 citizen scientists, the @esa Hubble archive and deep learning to learn about the smallest asteroids in the main belt. hubblesite.org/contents/news-… and esahubble.org/news/heic2407/…
Astronomers used Hubble's unique capabilities to identify a largely unseen population of very small asteroids. The treasure hunt required perusing 37,000 Hubble images. The payoff? Finding 1,701 asteroid trails: bit.ly/4cYTBio

#ICYMI Roman's primary structure, also known as the spacecraft bus, and propulsion tanks have been integrated. Wondering what those tiny red covers are? They house thrusters, which will tilt the telescope to observe specific areas of the cosmos. 📸 NASA/ Chris Gunn
The next chapter of our #meetdrroman series!
As NASA’s first Chief of Astronomy, Dr. Nancy Grace Roman (1925–2018) made the Hubble Space Telescope a reality. This video shows how her leadership and perseverance paved the way for space telescopes and the future of astronomy. #MeetDrRoman #WomensHistoryMonth
The giant planet Jupiter, in all its banded glory, is revisited by Hubble in images taken two months ago, capturing both sides of the planet. The many large storms and small white clouds are a hallmark of activity in Jupiter’s atmosphere: bit.ly/3V126mn
The pieces are coming together! Roman's propulsion tanks have been integrated into the spacecraft's primary structure in the @NASAGoddard clean room. The 4 tanks will carry almost 300 gallons of hydrazine fuel – enough to support 10+ years of observations. 📸 NASA/Chris Gunn
It's not every day we get to throw a welcome home party 🎉 Last week marked a big construction achievement with the move of our 8.4-meter primary/tertiary mirror into the main building! It'll now go through prep to get its shiny silver coating ✨ youtu.be/xW_tukDo0Os
Did springing forward this weekend make you feel like a time traveler? ⏳🔭 We happen to know a few time travelers! There are many amazing space telescopes - including @NASAHubble - that can show us what the universe looked like billions of years ago: science.nasa.gov/mission/hubble…
Fun fact: My raw images feed is a direct pipeline of all of the unedited photos I send back to Earth. 🤓 go.nasa.gov/3c3eGr9
Roman's fast surveying speeds, Hubble-like resolution, wide field of view, and optical and infrared capabilities will capture the Milky Way like never before! 🌌 Learn more about the galactic plane survey: go.nasa.gov/3wYMCVT
These are two colliding galaxies, not one galaxy with sweeping bangs. Arp 122 is made up of NGC 6040 (the hair), which is being warped as it begins to merge with LEDA 59642 (the face), as seen in this Hubble image. Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA.
