After capturing over 100 hours worth of exposures, I'm pleased to share my latest "Deep Field" image, containing THOUSANDS of galaxies and a brand-new supernova that just kicked off ~2 weeks ago!

Timelapse showing the supernova, prints, and more details in the thread 👇

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

BOOM!

I happened to be shooting this galaxy when a star decided to explode. Pretty lucky!

You can see it appear close to the galactic core. I’ll be shooting it every night for a while to watch it change brightness!

This is comparing photos captured 10 days ago vs 5 min ago.

[Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope @NASARoman]

Remember to take the lens cap off! 📷

Roman has a “lens cap,” just like your camera, but instead of coming off, it folds out like a visor on a hat. Our deployable aperture cover has also been released, protecting Roman’s instruments from the glare of the Sun.

If you want to get excited, here’s a simulation of what the Habitable Worlds observatory would see looking at our solar system from 40 light years away (about the distance of TRAPPIST-1 and LHS1140)

Yes, Earth is visible. And it is blue and green

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

Pleased to share my favorite photo from yesterday morning.

Shot using 3 cameras from a parking lot: this is the Falcon Heavy carrying Roman Space Telescope transiting the sun.

More about how it was captured and a video of the transit 👇

[Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope @NASARoman]

Shades on and batteries charging! 😎 🔋

Roman’s Solar Array Sun Shield and Lower Instrument Sun Shade have successfully deployed, powering the observatory and shading its instruments!

[NASA Universe @NASAUniverse]

Congrats, @NASARoman team — what an amazing launch! We are excited to follow the telescope’s journey to L2 and can’t wait to see what it reveals about the universe.

Spotted: Falcon 9 impact site

NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has captured images of a new crater on the Moon. The crater formed on Aug. 5, 2026, when a SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage impacted the lunar surface. https://t.co/aqduBYwpmg

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

*Attention eclipse watchers*

There is a large prominence off the solar limb right now. During totality, you may see this as a bright pink outcropping from the rest of the solar disc!

Unfortunately it’s cloudy over my solar observatory so I had to reference public data.

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

Totality for this sunset eclipse is in less than 11 hours.

I’m currently prepping 8 cameras to capture it from the deck of a ship in the Mediterranean. Shoutout to @VirginVoyages for hooking me up with the spot!

Photos to come!

Katalyst Space has successfully reduced the spin of their LINK robotic spacecraft. Now they’re preparing for the next steps in this mission designed to boost our Swift observatory to a higher altitude, including a flight software update to maintain stability. More: https://t.co/1KXKZf3BGD

Our team at @iaa_csic has captured the impact on the Moon of the upper stage of a Falcon 9 rocket. We attach a preliminary video showing the evolution of the ejected material.
