A huge library of Artemis II data just dropped. Here's the scoop âŹď¸
Science is a relay race, and today marks the latest in a long series of handoffs. The full set of Artemis II mission data is now ready for the global science community, and all of us, to dig into.
The Artemis II crew reported impact flashesâbursts of light cause by pieces of space debris hitting the ground. They described colors on the lunar surface, probed the edge of day and night, studied a total solar eclipse from the far side of the Moon, and more. They documented views of Earth and space from a perspective few humans ever reach. And they did it on behalf of all of us.
This is the first planetary data set captured primarily by humans in more than half a century. It contains 814 gigabytes of observations, over 11,000 full-resolution images and videos, and 521 minutes of never-before-released crew audio.
The Artemis II crew and science team relied on decades of data collected by human and robotic explorers before them. Now, their observations add to the foundation that present & future scientists will build on as we keep learning about our solar system and exploring distant worlds.

Curiosity didnât kill the cat, it helped @NASA capture it đą
@NASAHubble and @NASAWebb peeked at the Catâs Head Nebula. Despite its demure and fluffy appearance, the star-forming region was shaped by shockwaves from nearby massive stars in the Carina Nebula.
Hubble imaged the felineâs glowing red eye, which scientists think is a young star obscured by dust. Webbâs near-infrared camera captured a different view by peering through the dust, spotting stars otherwise shrouded by dust. In the mid-infrared, the intricate structure of the catâs body is noticeable because starlight causes the dust to heat up and âglow.â
Image description:
Near-infrared image of the Catâs Head Nebula by the James Webb Space Telescope. An orange-brown filament of dust is in the center, stretching from the bottom to almost the very top. It has a narrow, irregular shape that resembles a cat sitting with its back toward the viewer and a tail extending downward. The catâs head is turned toward the right, revealing a yellow glowing eye. The background is mostly blue with splotches of black in the top corners. On the catâs left are ghostly filaments of dust. Scattered throughout the view are many yellow and blue stars, some with Webbâs signature eight-point diffraction spikes, and a few faint background galaxies.

WAKE ME UP when you spot the strangest galaxy (galaxies?) in this image đ¸
Hidden among this @NASAHubble image of many galaxies lies an oddity in the bottom right corner. A massive foreground galaxy is acting as a gravitational lens, magnifying and bending the light from a more distant galaxy behind it.
The background galaxy appears as two arcs: a small, distorted arc in the bottom right and a prominent arc in the top left. Multiple arcs appear when the galaxies align with Earth in just the right way. This specific configuration is called an arc-counterarc pair. Swipe to see the duo up close.
Observations like these help pave the way for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. With its view 100 times wider than Hubble, Roman will spot thousands of lensed galaxies, helping astronomers map dark matter and better understand the invisible mass found in galaxies.
Hubble observations are already helping create a computer model to analyze distortions from dark matter in future Roman images. Once Roman begins finding lenses by the thousands, Hubble plans to follow up on the most intriguing finds!
Image Description:
1: A spiral galaxy with two distinct arms forming a backwards âSâ shape is in the foreground, against a background of many other much smaller, more distant galaxies. In the right lower corner, a gravitational lens can be seen, with a large, distinctive arc to the upper left.
2: A Hubble image of gravitational lens DESI J194.5345+03.5358 that has been zoomed in. The lens has a spherical yellow galaxy at its center, with a large arc to the upper left of the galaxy and the same arc, flipped and much smaller, to the lower right of the galaxy.

An âisland of stabilityâ đ (gravitational stability, that is)
NASAâs Lucy is the first spacecraft to visit a group of primitive solar system bodies known as the Jupiter Trojan asteroids. These asteroids share Jupiterâs orbit, guided by the combined gravitational pull of the Sun and the gas giant planet.
The Trojan asteroids serve as time capsules from the birth of our solar system over four billion years ago. By studying the Trojans up close, Lucy will uncover clues about the environments in which all of the planets, including Earth, formed and developed.
As Lucy cruises deeper into space, it has adapted to the gradually cooling temperature and dimming light. Lucy was designed for these conditions, and the spacecraft and instruments are working as expected.
Learn more at the link in our bio.
Video description: Data visualization showing the Lucy missionâs progress from Earth to a cluster of Jupiter Trojan asteroids. Lucy matches Earthâs orbit at first, then loops farther out in the solar system, back around our planet for a gravity assist, and out to meet a large group of asteroids represented by many tiny dots traveling in the same orbit as Jupiter, but ahead of the giant planet. Another cluster of asteroids follows behind Jupiter in its orbit.

Eye see you đď¸
The sonification of the Helix Nebula scans from left to right, where redder colors correspond with lower pitches while bluer colors are associated with higher pitches. This nebula formed when a low-mass star shed its outer layers at the end of its lifetime. It has been called âThe Eye of Sauronâ for its uncanny and all-seeing appearance.
These Halloween sonifications transform these cosmic phenomena into haunting audio landscapes. Sonifications convert astronomical data, like brightness and position, into auditory data allowing people to experience the universe in a different way. By listening to the data, scientists can notice patterns that might go otherwise unseen, and they allow blind and visually impaired communities to hear the hymns of the cosmos.
Video description:Â
@NASAHubble image of the Helix Nebula, which looks like an eye in space. The pupil is light blue, surrounded by rings of yellow, orange, and red. The red ring comes to two points, like the corners of an eye. As the video progresses, a vertical line sweeps across the screen, with peaks when it passes over a cosmic object associated with a sound.
Not all sirens sing, some shine đ§
The Whirlpool Galaxy attracts the gaze of unsuspecting observers with its sweeping spiral arms. This sonification moves radially and circles around the image in a clockwise direction. The radius is mapped to notes of a melodic minor scale. An incessant low hum from the center of the galaxy can be heard along with higher pitches from hypnotic spiral arms.

âWeâve never been in this vantage point in the history of humankind.â
As the Artemis II crew flew by the Moon, they experienced a staggering 54 minutes of total solar eclipse. In the prolonged darkness, they seized the opportunity to gather science data that they couldnât get under other conditions.
Before the mission, heliophysicist Nicholeen Viall helped the astronauts prepare to observe an eclipse unlike any that humanity had ever witnessed. During the lunar flyby, back on Earth, Tony Colaprete of the Artemis II Lunar Science Team was one of the first people to see the images the crew sent home.
Here are their takes on the Artemis II eclipse.

Sprites, trolls, and green ghosts are real, and they live above thunderstorms. âĄ
Unconfirmed until 1989, these mysterious flashes high in the atmosphere are called Transient Luminous Events (TLEs), and they light up the sky during storms. Their mythological names include sprites, TROLLS (Transient Red Optical Luminous Lineament), and green ghosts.
Now, NASA is on the hunt with a project called Spritacular, where people across the globe photograph and study these TLEs.
Catch one on camera? Join Spritacular and share your shot at the link in bio!
