NASA's 2022 #AstrophotoChallenges is almost here!

This year's target is the mysterious Eta Carinae, once the second-brightest star in the sky. Find out what happened and how YOU can visualize it with @MicroObs tools at the May 3 #AskTheAstronomersLive. https://t.co/qyERaXiR3X

There are billions and billions of stars with planets -- and now there's an incredible song about them! It's performed by Rachel Bloom and produced by my @Cool_Cosmos colleagues. Be sure to check out the rest of the Astrophysics Variety Hour too:

It was exactly five years ago today that the seven-planet TRAPPIST-1 system was announced. Learn from @NASA scientists how they characterized and visualized the rocky worlds in ~30 minutes! #AskNASA

[ExploreAstro at Caltech IPAC @ExploreAstro]

NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope played a key role in discovering and characterizing the 7-planet TRAPPIST-1 system, and Dr. Robert Hurt helped us visualize them.

Today at 11am PT/2pm ET, you can #AskNASA how he translated science data into illustrations. https://t.co/TbcRcmCASY

Some stars are famous for their outbursts.

Eta Carinae's Great Eruption in the 1840s expelled 10% of its mass and created a nebula that continues to expand almost two centuries later. A 3D #astroviz uses @NASA data to show and tell the star's story.
