#NASAWebb captured Lynds 483 in unprecedented detail. Two forming stars hidden in one pixel at the center are responsible for sending out these vibrant jets and outflows. Examine the twists and arcs in these ejections up close: https://webbtelescope.pub/4h538oK image
The Kuiper Belt object 148780 Altjira, already known to be a binary system shows signs of containing a third member in new Hubble observations: https://bit.ly/3EQtQnK image
#NASAWebb orbits the Sun near Sun-Earth Lagrange point 2 (L2), approximately 1.5 million kilometers (1 million miles) from Earth. This makes it possible for Webb to remain in constant communication with Earth. Learn more about L2: https://webbtelescope.pub/3BY6H1x image
Bullseye! Researchers using Hubble found a massive galaxy rippling with nine star-filled rings after an β€œarrow,” the blue dwarf galaxy to its center-left, plunged through its core 50 million years ago. A thin trail of gas still links the pair: https://bit.ly/4hcX52n image
The largest photomosaic of the Andromeda galaxy, assembled from Hubble observations, has been unveiled. It took more than 10 years to collect data for this colorful portrait of our neighboring galaxy and was created from more than 600 snapshots: https://bit.ly/405MsbK #AAS245 image
#NASAWebb has spotted a reverberating light echo spreading across space. As a light pulse travels through space, it illuminates previously unseen material, revealing intricate structures resembling wood grain: https://webbtelescope.pub/422ET6Z #AAS245
Applications are open for the Space Astronomy Summer Program (SASP) at STScI. Every year, a dozen highly motivated college students work individually with STScI researchers and staff on science projects. Learn more and apply: image
Hubble just celebrated a decade of tracking our solar system’s outer planets: Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus and Neptuneβ€”as seen in this montage of observations taken since 2014. (1/8) 🧡 image
