I look at a lot of space images, but this one made my eyes bug out like a cartoon character.

What you see here isn't a spiral galaxy, exactly. It's a spiral galaxy whose image was bent into a circle by the gravity of an elliptical galaxy visible at the center.

Warped space, right before your eyes!

Nasa löscht Comics über Astronautin #Callie.

Mit »Callie« hatte die #Nasa in zwei Comics eine Frau und #PersonofColor zur Raumfahrtheldin gemacht. Offenbar wegen #Trump nahm die Behörde die Geschichten aus dem Netz. Die tauchen nun in #Island wieder auf.

Wow! Onboard video of the Blue Ghost lander touching down on the Moon two days ago.

Multiple onboard experiments are now studying the lunar surface. Details at link.

DOGE is a̶u̶d̶i̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ raiding NASA today.

It's completely absurd. The nazi owner of SpaceX should not be auditing #NASA.

It's a massive conflict of interest.

For those who might see this and work for NASA and voted for the orange turnip, I hope you're glad you cut your nose off in spite of your face.

NASA’s Juno spacecraft launched in 2011. It’s studying Jupiter. This is one of many new images it sent back.

I’m blown away at how stunning it is.

This is a really large version of it. Open it up in a new tab or save it to your photos or whatever, so you can zoom in and see it in detail. Just take a break from the world’s sorrow to enjoy this delight.

We knew it was going to happen, but the Voyager space probes are getting creaky in their old age.

NASA just had to reactivate Voyager 1's S-band transmitter for the first time in 43 years after a communication breakdown.

Meine Bewunderung für die unglaubliche Leistung der #NASA wächst ins Unermessliche. Wohlwissend, dass irgendwann mal wirklich und unwiederruflich Schluss sein wird...

„Das Missionsteam arbeitet aber daran, die Voyager-Sonden so lange wie möglich in Betrieb zu halten, damit sie weiterhin de interstellare Umgebung erkunden können“

Voyager 1: Riskanter Düsenwechsel rettet Uralt-Sonde - Verstopfte Leitung gefährdete Erdpeilung der 47 Jahre alten Raumsonde - scinexx.de

Noch mal gut gegangen: Beinahe hätte die 47 Jahre alte Raumsonde Voyager 1 nicht mehr die Erde anpeilen können – sie wäre verstummt. Doch der NASA ist es

Happening now over your head: NASA’s Advanced Composite Solar Sail System has spread its wings.

The satellite, launched in April, just unfurled an 80-square-meter sail that will use sunlight to adjust its orbit. For now we just have an illustration; onboard photos are coming on Sept 4.
