😲After 9 years… and 3 BILLION miles… this is what we found 😳
For decades, Pluto was just a blurry dot in the sky.
But everything changed when NASA’s spacecraft finally arrived…
🚀 After an incredible journey across the Solar System,
we got our first close-up look at Pluto’s frozen world ❄️
🏔️ Massive ice mountains
🌌 Vast frozen plains
🌫️ A thin, mysterious atmosphere
This isn’t just a rock…
it’s a complex, active world at the edge of our Solar System.
✨ And the craziest part?
This data was sent back from billions of miles away…
taking hours just to reach Earth.
From a tiny dot… to a breathtaking world.
That’s the power of space exploration 🚀

There is a lot going on right now on the @Space_Station, but fortunately we are all safe and witnessed a spectacular southern aurora show yesterday thanks to a recent solar event.
It’s #SunDay! Here’s your space weather report for the week of May 29 - June 4:
• 1 X-class flare
• 6 M-class flares
• 47 coronal mass ejections
• 0 geomagnetic storms
This video from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) shows the week’s activity.
This week’s main event was the X-class flare on June 3, appearing at 2:26 in the video. Though that flare was this week’s brightest event, a few seconds before at 2:20 in the video, an M7-class flare erupts that might appear to the human eye to be even more impressive. In part, that’s because of the nice view of the burst of solar plasma (ultimately producing a coronal mass ejection) that erupts from the region right after the flare. Wow! 🤩

@PlayOJO The extra object in the Pile (maybe a ball from Bigo butts?), the shiny coin, and the writing on the bag, all leave when the Wave washes over!

Saturn in Invisible Light
Cassini captures Saturn in a way the human eye has never seen it — bathed in near-infrared wavelengths that pierce through the planet’s hazy atmosphere and reveal hidden https://t.co/3PvRlpSF7R this stunning view, Saturn transforms into a dramatically textured world. Subtle bands and swirling storms in the atmosphere stand out with striking three-dimensional relief. The iconic rings, usually bright and flat in visible light, take on an intricate, almost sculptural quality, with delicate divisions, shadows, and varying densities suddenly popping into sharp contrast.This near-infrared perspective allows us to peer deeper into Saturn’s cloud layers and appreciate the complex dynamics of its gaseous envelope and ring system like never before. What looks serene in ordinary light reveals a dynamic, stormy giant when viewed in invisible wavelengths.A breathtaking reminder of how much more there is to see when we look beyond the visible spectrum.
