[Chandra Observatory @chandraxray]

Today Chandra is peering into #Sagittarius. Nearby in the sky is the Lagoon Nebula, a rowdy stellar nursery located about 4,000 light years from Earth. This image spans roughly 4 light years, featuring just a small portion of the whole nebula which is over 55 light years across.

This is a picture of Earth and the Moon captured from Saturn by NASA's Cassini spacecraft #OTD on April 12, 2017.

That's all of us from 1.43 billion kilometers away, tucked inside the space between two of Saturn's rings. 🪐———————>🌎🌕

If you're interested to know what #JWST is seeing in its alignment image, here it is overlaid on the PanSTARRS1 optical survey as accessed via in ESASky.

The bright star used for the alignment is 2MASS J17554042+6551277; most of the rest are galaxies.

The clever people at @NASA have created this deceptively simple yet highly effective data visualisation showing monthly global temperatures between 1880-2021. Watch until the end...

A symbol of hope in the darkest hours of COVID, 🇺🇦’s Mriya (Dream), the world’s largest plane, carried vast quantities of life-saving vaccine and PPE around the globe. It is now destroyed by Russian invaders in its war against Ukraine and the wider world
