POV: you're watching the Earth set
We just released hundreds of new images and hours of new audio from our Artemis II mission around the Moon this spring. Check out our link in bio for the Artemis II Preliminary Lunar Science Report.

Brewing up new stars 🪄
@NASAWebb’s unique view of the stellar nursery known as NGC 7129 reveals numerous stars formerly hidden in this cosmic cauldron.
Stars begin their life in cold, dense regions of dust and gas, hiding from view of most telescopes. Webb’s high degree of infrared sensitivity allows astronomers to peer through dust to study these baby stars.
In this image, we can see stars in various stages of development. The most mature and massive (about 5-8x the mass of our Sun) is the region’s bright central star. In the cavity on the left, appearing in gold, is the largest demonstration of its impact. The outflows from an earlier stage in the star’s development carve into the dense molecular cloud of hydrogen, and combine with the star’s light, causing it to glow.
The region on the right, represented in red, hides much younger objects than those on the left: protostars. As the protostars accumulate matter and increase mass, they eject outflows of super heated material that interact with matter around the star, creating shocks that cause the textured appearance we see in this image. More protostar outflows are at upper left where a dark shadow is being cast by a protostar disk, visible against the surrounding nebula, depicted in blue.
Seeing these different structures help astronomers study the star lifecycle in various stages, leading to a more complete understanding of our universe.

Swipe for countless stars
Sagittarius B2 is the most massive and most active star-forming region in the Milky Way. It produces half of the stars in our home galaxy’s core.
This image of Sagittarius B2 was taken by our @NASAWebb telescope.

🚨 BREAKING: Introducing X-70 Fractal, @nasa’s newest experimental aircraft!
This crewed, modular aircraft will allow the agency to rapidly swap out internal & external payloads to help keep pushing the frontiers of aviation technology! X-70 Fractal is a high-performance platform to test advanced flight-control, maneuverability, and other cutting-edge technologies in real flight.
“We expect her first flight under the NASA banner within the next two years, and X-70 is just one part of this new beginning for aeronautics. This is why people come to NASA: to build, to learn, and most importantly, to fly.” - @nasaadmin
The X-70 Fractal has a takeoff weight of 10,000 pounds and is designed to cruise at Mach .75, reach altitudes of up to 45,000 feet, and provide an operational range exceeding about 1,726 miles (1,500 nautical miles). These capabilities will enable NASA to conduct demanding flight research across a broad range of operating conditions.

POV: you're looking at Earth from the @ISS
The "cupola" of the International Space Station allows astronauts to track arriving spacecraft and operate the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm. (And catch some great views of our home planet.)

This glowing cloud is a dwarf galaxy, a type of galaxy containing anywhere from a few thousand stars to hundreds of millions. This small galaxy, photographed by @NASAHubble, is located 12.5 million light-years away from Earth.

Calm on the outside, chaotic on the inside. 😵💫
At the center of this serene scene, stars bulge out at an unusual angle. Astronomers think this is because the galaxy collected gas from an outside source – maybe a minor merger with another galaxy.

Our Sun knows how to get in the spirit! 🎃
Years ago, our Solar Dynamics Observatory caught our Sun looking like a jack-o’-lantern, with active regions shaped like a carved face.
Swipe to see other cosmic curiosities captured over the years.

The wispy white gas of this star-forming cloud, Lupus 3, is 500 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius. It looks something like a wave of ectoplasm or stretch of cobwebs. Which do you see?
As we set our sights on the Hourglass Nebula, it appears to gaze back at us. This creepy cosmic object is a planetary nebula, the glowing relic of a dying, Sun-like star.
This ghoulish cloud of gas and dust, called the Ghost Nebula, is 550 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. Its long ghostly veil is shaped by radiation from the bright stars embedded within it.
This witch is busy brewing baby stars! Named the Witch Head, this nebula is found 800 light-years away in the constellation Orion, just off the hunter’s “knee.”
This smoky specter is the Cat’s Head Nebula. The intricate, wispy structures of this cloud of dust are traced by @NASAWebb’s keen vision.

We mourn the passing of Patrick Stewart, who inspired countless individuals at NASA (and beyond) to boldly go where no one has gone before.

More power loading. 🔋
Today, NASA astronaut Anil Menon and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Joshua Kutryk conducted a spacewalk to install the 7th of 8 new roll out solar arrays. The final new array is slated to be installed during the Nov. 5 spacewalk, increasing the station’s available power by up to 30%.

Fire burn and cauldron bubble 🫧
The @NASAWebb telescope spotted stars brewing in this cosmic site of toil and trouble. This region, named N159, is 161,000 light-years from Earth in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way.
