A small portion of the Rosette Nebula features in this #HubbleTopImage 🏵️
The Rosette Nebula is a star-forming region spanning 100 light-years across – this detail of the nebula measures just 4 light-years across! 1/2
🚨Competition alert 🚨
Craft a #WelcomeToMercury message for Bepi and Mio and stand a chance to win a trip to Germany and witness the ESA/JAXA @BepiColombo mission arrive at Mercury!
The message could be a drawing, song, poem or any other art form. Details 👉 https://t.co/DRz7ZYpAAG
Our Ramses planetary defence spacecraft has been switched on for the first time, a major milestone on the way to its 2028 launch.
The ESA-JAXA mission will rendezvous with asteroid Apophis and study it during its exceptionally close flyby of Earth in April 2029.

Webb reveals one of its largest images to date! 😲
This starry view shows the nearby star-forming region IC 348. Here, astronomers searched for brown dwarfs, objects which are less massive than the smallest stars.

Sometimes your eyes need a minute to focus when you wake up. Roman's Wide Field Instrument just woke up for the first time EVER, and scientists have started adjusting its "eyes" so they can focus on the bigger picture.
Check out its first test image below https://t.co/lkv3LFMyMR
Astronomers using Webb’s #NIRCam and #NIRSpec found brown dwarfs with masses as low as just twice the mass of Jupiter – the smallest brown dwarfs yet discovered!

🆕 Webb has revealed a panorama of star formation in one of its largest images released to the public so far.
This is the nearby star-forming region IC 348. Here, cold clouds of molecular hydrogen gas collapse to form new stars 🌟 – from massive stars that burn out after only a few million years to the smallest stars weighing just 8% of the Sun’s mass. 1/3
Scientists have discovered a new class of objects using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory that are behaving unlike any seen before. These mysterious objects may help solve not one, but two long-standing questions in astrophysics. More: https://t.co/MaQaxW85dy
