What's going on next door?
A new study using Hubble data shows that Andromeda, our nearest major galaxy neighbor, has undergone a 500-million-year decline in star formation – with an even steeper drop in the last 40 million years: https://t.co/gsIj6OFLgg
NASA’s Psyche spacecraft flew by Mars on May 15, using the planet’s gravity to gain speed and slightly tilt its trajectory. The flyby also gave the team an opportunity to test the spacecraft’s science instruments - including its multispectral imager.

Spot the supernova! 💥
In the top right corner, it's so bright that it could be mistaken for a foreground star located in our galaxy, but its home is in the outskirts of a galaxy located 11 million light-years from Earth: https://t.co/SYye2JViCS
Using 20-plus years of Hubble observations and recent @NASAWebb data, astronomers have discovered the first of the Omega Centauri star cluster's "missing" black holes!

It's a Hot Moon Summer 💅
In the early morning tomorrow, June 29, this month's full Moon will peak, also known as the Hot Moon or Strawberry Moon since it aligns with the beginning of the summer season.

Four Expedition 74 crew members relaxed on Friday ahead of a spacewalk planned for June 30. The rest of the crew focused on artificial intelligence and virtual reality studies. More... https://t.co/hDLYTZezSz
Our #HubbleTopImage features gravitational lensing 🔍 in Abell 1689!
This Hubble image from 2010 shows the galaxy cluster Abell 1689, with the mass distribution of the dark matter in the gravitational lens overlaid in purple. The mass in this lens is made up partly of normal matter and partly of dark matter.
Distorted galaxies can be seen around the edges of the gravitational lens – their appearance depends on the distribution of matter in the lens, the relative geometry of the lens and the distant galaxies, and the effect of dark energy on the geometry of the Universe itself.
