NGC 6888 - First imaging session in ages. Lots of gremlins but managed to get 40m of Ha. #astronomy #astrophotography
Happy birthday to #astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell! In 1967, as a grad student she discovered the 1st radio pulsar, a highly magnetized, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of EM radiation. 🧪🐡👩🏼🔬🎢🔭 #histsci This radiation can only be observed when the star is pointed towards us;

For the first time, astronomers have detected sugar molecules (erythrulose, to be precise) in deep space, floating near the center of our galaxy. It adds to the evidence for complex prebiotic carbon chemistry in interstellar clouds, even before planets form. 🧪🔭 cen.acs.org/physical-che...

It may not look like it, but this is tiny. Or should I say, tiny in comparison to space. About the same size as my space ship, this collection of seeds float through space for years. They wait for the correct conditions (we still don’t know what those conditions are) to hatch. I caught it just as th...
And to round out four years of history-making science, we're celebrating 2026 and what we've learned so far. From far away and very old "Little Red Dots" to new views of Saturn's sunlit surface, 2026 is shaping up to be another incredible year of science! https://t.co/RaI0YSvVl3
In 2025, we looked back in time! Abell S1063 was Webb's deepest look back on a single target as of 2025. Webb discovered a new moon around Uranus and examined the exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 e spectrum, a system with many rocket planets, including some in its habitable zone. We also https://t.co/7G1MAW...
Looking down from orbit around Exoplanet 16482. The tendrils of the Pampinato plant glow in the setting sun. A lone Exmare Beast trundles carefully across the mountain on it’s annual pilgrimage to the warm valley where they will mate and care for their young. I spent a happy couple hours at the scre...

On this day, we are thankful for the little white dot just below Saturn's rings. That's us! (You look great, btw,.) Seen from a billion miles away, Earth shines bright. Happy Thanksgiving, friends. We're glad you're here. https://t.co/MhLGIldVt4
The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound. Here it's amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole! https://t.co/RobcZs7F9e
