Hi Twitter folks, I've made a comic/illustrations for the first time about the recent detection of gravitational wave background by @NANOGrav and other PTAs.
Congratulations to NANOGrav for detecting evidence that gravitational waves fill the cosmos.
These ripples in the fabric of space happen when massive objects like black holes circle one another before colliding. The result brings us closer to understanding how galaxies evolve. https://t.co/AKZhOS5qwe
This famous engraving of the Leonid meteor shower in 1833 was based on first-hand accounts of people seeing over 50,000 meteors fall per hour ☄️
The first recorded 'meteor storm' in modern history
Roses, jellyfish, horses…
Hubble’s view of our universe includes cosmic images that remind us of the plants and animals right here on Earth!
Happy #NaturePhotographyDay!
Happy launch-iversary to the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope!
Hubble and Fermi have teamed up to study some of the universe’s most powerful events, like the “BOAT” – Brightest of All Time – gamma-ray burst (infrared afterglow circled in image): https://t.co/LWaJ0kb5pn

This isn't an expanding star: this is a light echo!
In this time-lapse sonification, a pulse of light from the star V838 Monocerotis gives the illusion that the surrounding dust is expanding. In reality, it's just the light from the star's flash reaching dust farther away.
#HappyMothersDay!
Dr. Nancy Grace Roman is often called the "Mother of Hubble". Her work at @NASA made Hubble's mission possible, and also helped pave the way for space-based telescopes like @NASAWebb and @NASARoman.

To mark Hubble’s 33rd anniversary, this new image unveils a cauldron of starbirth! ⭐
NGC 1333 is a star-forming region 960 light-years away. Glowing gasses and pitch-black dust are stirred up and blown around by newly forming stars within the dark cloud: https://t.co/NazfKJq8Lw
This photo is 100% real.Taken all the way back in 1984, it shows Bruce McCandless II, a mission specialist on the Challenger spacecraft as he reached a maximum distance on one of the first untethered spacewalks ever.Image: NASA
