Images taken by Hubble 20 years apart reveal the Stingray nebula is disappearing.
The “youngest known planetary nebula” has drastically faded and changed shape since its first portrait in 1996: https://t.co/Sum7q19q22

Two Day, 14-Question Anonymous Poll
You know who I am. But to communicate with you better, I’d like to learn (statistically) who you are.
If interested, what follows is a 14-question (14-Tweet) threaded anonymous poll.
Should take you less than a minute to complete.
Thank you.
We detected water on the Moon’s sunlit surface for the first time! This suggests water may be distributed across the lunar surface, and not limited to cold, shadowed places.

This is no trick, but all treat! Dark matter is one of the many mysteries of the universe. Roman will help us better understand this mysterious matter that goes bump in the cosmos. Until then, enjoy this Galaxy of Horror dark matter poster! #NASAHalloween🕷https://t.co/Q3ApEsWltj
#Today Chandra will be studying black holes in #Orion. Nearby in the sky is reflection nebula M78. The nebula's otherwise dark dust is being illuminated by the reflection of starlight radiating from stars embedded deep within.✨
It’s #SpaceTelescopeQuiz time! What is this object and how old is it? Put your guess in the comments and check tomorrow for the answer. Extra credit for any fun facts about the person this object is named after! Credit: NASA, ESA, and R. Sankrit and W. Blair (JHU).
As you enjoy Mars glowing in the eastern sky this evening, just remember that bright, red dot is actually an active world. The HiRISE camera aboard our Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has even caught avalanches in progress! More: https://t.co/Er7dUDDa00
@CometNEOWISE from Oxford, OH on July 23, 2020. Well, it took 2.5 months to get these right, but I thought they were worth sharing! Stacks of 6-8 images, 28mm, 105mm, & 300mm. #Siril open source astronomy software.

New, close-up images of comet #NEOWISE from Hubble zero in on this summertime visitor’s fuzzy coma and powerful jets expelling from the tiny nucleus within: https://t.co/1jQZzbtm0L
Earlier this month, Hubble took a look at Comet NEOWISE shortly after its pass by the Sun! ☄️ Now, it’s heading for the outer solar system at a speed of 40 miles per second.
NEOWISE won’t be back by our planet for nearly 7,000 years: https://t.co/dKfyYWPwfq
JUST IN: The @NASAHubble space telescope took this image of @CometNEOWISE. The image was just released moments ago. Nice view of the comet’s coma...you are seeing jets of dust and gas shooting out in opposite directions, as the comet’s ice sublimates.
A new visitor from the outer trenches of our #solarsystem is out to dazzle sky-gazers, as it returns from its trip around the Sun to offer a rare display of fireworks.
The #cometNEOWISE discovered on 27 March, will be visible in our sky for 20 min for next 20 days from 14 July.
