it’s crazy that we’re sending humans back here soon

Shining blue stars are sprinkled throughout glowing clouds of orange, pink and bluish gas, alongside dark clouds of dust. A particularly bright star shines against the inky dark dust of the lower right quadrant.

Misty, bluish-white gas nearly fills this image. A few scattered stars shine through the gas. To the bottom left and just near a bright star, a dark cloud of dust interrupts the glowing, nebulous landscape.

Within a field of glittering multicolored stars, bluish clouds of gas edged in glowing red cluster at the top of the image and in a bubble-shaped clump to the mid-right. A single shining star throws diffraction spikes across the upper left of the image.

Narrow, knotted clouds of purple and green glowing gas are seen against a field of stars.

may i offer you some space in this trying time?

A beacon of light, the launch pad for the first Ariane 6 with four boosters awaits.

At least the crew access arm is getting a good work out swinging it back due to the wind warning...

A cluster of stars inside a large nebula. The stars inside the nebula are very bright and many are tinged red in colour, due to the layers of dust in front of them. Other stars, in colours like yellow and blue, lie in front of the nebula. The background is covered with dark, obscuring clouds of gas and dust, at parts lit faintly in red, blue and yellow colours by the star cluster.

A cluster of stars inside a large nebula. The clouds of gas and dust are predominantly bright red in colour and wispy, akin to flames. They are clumped in the bottom-left corner. Other clouds, deeper in the cluster behind many of the stars, appear pale pink. The stars are concentrated in the top half of the image and are mostly small, bright white and six-pointed. They cast blue light over the nebula. Other stars with very long spikes surrounding them lie in the foreground.

Voyager 1 artist rendition.

i feel like not enough people are talking about the fact that voyager 1 will be the first object to be one light DAY away from earth next year.

that is a CRAZY achievement for humanity.

Blue Origin's Cape Canaveral facility is already expansive and continues to grow. These upgrades are in direct support of the planned increase in New Glenn launch cadence and the rocket’s evolving capabilities.

We're standing down from today's launch attempt for KAIST to assess sensor data, but we have plenty of back up opportunities in the coming days. New target launch date to be posted shortly🚀

Webb image shows hundreds of galaxies of all shapes and sizes against the black background of space. Toward the center-left is a large white spiral galaxy that is almost face-on. To the right of this is a large box, which zooms in on an area at top right. Within the box is a faint red dot at the center, with the label GRB 250314A.

Webb breaks its own record by identifying the earliest supernova to date, a star that exploded when the Universe was only 730 million years old.

To astronomers' surprise, this early supernova looks exactly like modern supernovae based on data gathered so far 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

And age of the Cosmos,

Are beyond,
Ordinary human understanding.

Lost somewhere,
Between immensity,

And eternity,
Is our tiny planetary home"

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Completed - NASA Two technicians look up at NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope after its inner and outer segments were connected at the agency’s Goddard Space Flight

Holy moly: The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope construction is completed! That's fantastic news — much needed right now — and I am very much looking forward to when this beast launches. It has 100X the field of view of Hubble.

One. Hundred. *At the same resolution*.

Under a dark sky, the Milky Way looks like a bright band interrupted by black rivers.

Those rivers are not empty space; they are curtains of tiny dust grains that swallow nearly all the starlight trying to reach us.

A field filled with stars and covered by clouds of gas and dust. The centre and left side are totally blanketed with billowing, bright red clouds. They are opaque some places — showing clusters of stars forming within — and transparent others. Small patches are dark black in colour, while a large cloud below the centre is mostly pale blue. The right side of the view, mostly gas-free, glitters with stars near and far

Using Webb, astronomers have discovered a supermassive black hole within the galaxy CANUCS-LRD-z8.6. Webb imaged the galaxy as it was just 570 million years after the Big Bang.
