In Webb’s new deep field are galaxies that may have existed as early as 200 million years after the big bang! This long exposure to a small area of sky totals 120 hours of observing time and is Webb’s deepest look back on a single target to date!

Hello from Mars! 👋
Our @NASAPersevere rover took a couple of selfies to mark its 1,500th day on the Red Planet—but there's more to these photos than meets the eye. Take a closer look with @NASAJPL: https://t.co/JcyoFlBmwy
Webb captured an enormous display of auroras unlike anything seen on Earth. These infrared observations reveal unexpected activity in Jupiter’s atmosphere, challenging what scientists thought they knew about the planet’s magnetic field and particle interactions.
Sub-Neptunes. Shrouded in mystery… and haze.
These are one of the most common types of exoplanets in our galaxy, but we don’t have one in our solar system to study. Webb is lifting the veil on these objects: https://t.co/seFIEWDDXt
One telescope. Nearly 1.7 million observations. Thirty-five years – and counting.
Hubble's new 35th anniversary images show cosmic sites from within our solar system to our galaxy and beyond – a reminder of the mission's impact on every area of astronomy. ⬇️
The Eagle Nebula is ready to reintroduce itself.
@ESA used the latest data and processing techniques to bring a stunning view of this pillar of gas and dust that's 9.5 light-years tall! As huge as this pillar is, it’s just one piece of the greater nebula: https://t.co/PJxEqPhmBv
For #NationalPoetryMonth, here's a connection written in the stars. As they make their interplanetary journeys, Europa Clipper and Lucy both carry poetry by a US Poet Laureate: Joy Harjo on Lucy's plaque and Ada Limón on Europa Clipper's vault plate. https://t.co/On7LyCEBle
Preparations for @NASA’s next Artemis flight recently took to the seas as a joint NASA and @USNavy team, led by @NASAGroundSys, spent a week off the coast of California practicing procedures for recovering the Artemis II spacecraft and crew.
SPHEREx is preparing to study our cosmos ✨
These early images indicate the space telescope's six detectors are working. The images aren't ready for science use but were processed to show the colors of infrared wavelengths, which are invisible to the eye. https://t.co/dqCCTTnACi
Good morning! The cool night helped keep most of the cherry blossoms at Stage 5: Puffy White, but with the sun shining this wonderful morning, who knows what could happen. It's looking like a gorgeous day. 🌸🌸🌸 #CherryBlossom#BloomWatch
📣 Euclid releases first batch of survey data, including a preview of its very own deep fields!
With just one scan, #ESAEuclid has already spotted 26 million galaxies 👉 https://t.co/p5Xgr84MRN
Let's explore the treasure trove that our #DarkUniverse detective has uncovered 🧵 1/
Welcome home, #Crew9@NASA_Astronauts Nick Hague, Suni Williams, Butch Wilmore, and cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov splashed down off the coast of Florida concluding their scientific mission to the @Space_Station More photos: https://t.co/bgj7qk6MDw
#Crew9 will be difficult to spot in the daytime as it reenters Earth's atmosphere, but if you want to keep an eye out for @SpaceX's Dragon as it heads home today, we have the map for you.
"GO" for launch!
@NASA's @SpaceX#Crew10 launch, set for 7:03pm ET, is now a little less than fifteen minutes away.
Launch weather officers with @SLDelta45 now predict a greater than 95% chance of favorable weather conditions at the launch pad for liftoff.

#BlueGhost got her first diamond ring! Captured at our landing site in the Moon’s Mare Crisium around 3:30 am CDT, the photo shows the sun about to emerge from totality behind Earth. Hope to have more shots to share soon! #BGM1
#BlueGhost caught her first look at the solar eclipse from the Moon around 12:30 am CDT - notice the glowing ring of light emerge in the reflection of our solar panel as the Earth began to block the sun! We hope to downlink more imagery soon once our X-band antenna warms up from the cold temperatures faced in the darkness of totality. Stay tuned! #BGM1
Rise and shine! Firefly’s #BlueGhost lander captured its first sunrise on the Moon, marking the beginning of the lunar day and the start of surface operations in its new home. Our #GhostRiders have already begun operating many of the 10 @NASA payloads aboard the lander and will continue operations over the next two weeks and into the lunar night. #BGM1
