This is REAL (and I can’t BELIEVE we pulled it off)!
It took months of planning and a stupid amount of math, but I couldn’t be happier with the result!
Best skydive of my life!
Thank you @AJamesMcCarthy for immortalizing it! ☀️🪂🔭

This is the moment Mars peeked out from behind our moon after being hidden for an hour. This shot was captured using my largest telescope and a special high-speed camera. Seeing another planet rising on the horizon of our moon was such a surreal experience.
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.
This is what you’ve waited for.
Journey with us through Webb’s breathtaking view of the Pillars of Creation, where scores of newly formed stars glisten like dewdrops among floating, translucent columns of gas and dust: https://t.co/5ea1kCzU5x
Here’s your guided tour ⬇️
In today's Picture of the Week, the UT4 telescope at our VLT in Chile fires its lasers up to the sky. They excite sodium atoms 90 km from the ground, creating artificial stars that we use to measure and correct turbulence.

IMPACT SUCCESS! Watch from #DARTMIssion’s DRACO Camera, as the vending machine-sized spacecraft successfully collides with asteroid Dimorphos, which is the size of a football stadium and poses no threat to Earth.
Hegde : Everything comes down to context. Today, the context is access to education in a govt college. A govt is funded by everyone..
Justice Gupta : No, sorry, only 4% pay income tax.
Hegde : Direct tax, yes. But everyone pays indirect tax. I don't want to join issue here.
Algorithms created for measuring @NASAWebb’s mirrors have been integrated into a device that precisely measures eye imperfections in visual pathways and cornea curvature. This tech has advanced LASIK procedures here on Earth! 👀 💫

Rock sample #9 is in the bag! (Well, in the tube, anyway.)
My team has waited years to get up close to this river delta and see what it might say about past life on Mars. This sample may well get a one-way ticket back to Earth in the future! #SamplingMars
