A more unique pairing I have yet to meet!

This is how it would look Saturn if it was at the same distance as the moon.

Roscosmos cosmonaut Dmitry Petelin was able to capture on film from the International Space Station the approach of three celestial bodies - Venus, the Moon and Jupiter.

@shahgazer Well done!

@Komet123Jager This is the most beautiful depiction of the comet I've seen. Do you mind if I use it in a science documentary I am making which targets the public? I will acknowledge you accordingly. Thanks for considering

Happy #SunDay! It's been a busy week for space weather. There have been 35 solar flares, 47 coronal mass ejections, and no geomagnetic storms. This video from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows several of these flares and coronal mass ejections shimmering forth from the Sun.

Baby, you're a firework! 🎆 This @NASAHubble image shows supernova remnant DEM L 190. Its delicate sheets and filaments are debris from the death of a star that once lived in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.

Stars close to the center of our galaxy dance around what appears to be nothing at all, but is actually a black hole with the mass of 4 million Suns. #MondayMotivation

[ARCHIVED NASA Exoplanets @NASAExoplanets]

In a section of sky as tiny as a human viewed from a mile away, @NASAWebb observed four of the oldest and most distant galaxies ever seen. They date to less than 400 million years after the big bang, when the universe was only 2% of its current age. https://t.co/DtCBQgAUp5

A composite image from this morning's eclipse showing the moon in various stages throughout the night. The size and shape of Earth's shadow is clearly visible here. These events are absolutely magical to witness and quite surreal.

@elonmusk Supercool

[Dan Zetterström @TheZignal]

You’ve no doubt seen this picture of the Pillars of Creation (taken by the Webb telescope), but you probably haven’t thought about the scale.

From one side to the other, you’re looking at the distance between us and Proxima Centauri. Space is rather large!

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

In visible light, Neptune appears blue due to small amounts of methane gas in its atmosphere. Webb’s NIRCam instrument instead observed Neptune at near-infrared wavelengths, so Neptune doesn’t look so blue!

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

That’s no star. It’s Neptune’s large, unusual moon, Triton! Because Triton is covered in frozen, condensed nitrogen, it reflects 70% of the sunlight that hits it — making it appear very bright to Webb. 6 of Neptune’s other moons (labeled) are also seen here.
