The landing location has officially been named for NASA's Dragonfly mission! The global body responsible for designating objects in space has approved a name for the large dune field on Saturn's moon Titan: Ahmakiq Undae. Here's the story behind it: https://t.co/fnKD6NnvMp http
Highlighted in purple, located in the equatorial dune fields of Saturn’s moon Titan, Ahmakiq Undae has a diameter of approximately 500 miles (810 kilometers) and borders the roughly 50-mile (80-kilometer) diameter Selk impact crater, to the upper right. Deposits formed during the impact that created Selk Crater are primary exploration targets for NASA’s Dragonfly mission. The yellow box on the global image of Titan denotes the approximate area.

Observations from @NASAHubble recently revealed a giant, evolving, 10-sided atmospheric wave encircling Saturn's south pole. This discovery marks the first time a large, regular-sided jet pattern has been observed in the planet's southern hemisphere. 🔗 https://t.co/8UXdSXu4rf ht
Two views of Saturn from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope reveal a giant, evolving 10-sided atmospheric wave encircling the planet’s south pole. The feature, called a decagon, is the first large, persistent, regular-sided pattern observed at Saturn’s southern hemisphere.

By comparing observations taken over several years, researchers found that the pattern has become increasingly distinct since 2023, suggesting they may be witnessing a new atmospheric phenomenon develop on the gas giant. The observations, captured by Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3, were made as part of Hubble’s Outer Planet Atmosphere’s Legacy (OPAL) program, which has monitored the Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune for more than a decade.

The “X” and dashed circle in the image on the right represent where data was not captured by Hubble.

M82 is an irregular galaxy undergoing intense star formation due to a gravitational interaction with another galaxy. Nicknamed the Cigar Galaxy, it shows how violent galactic "exhaust systems" can regulate a galaxy's growth. See more @chandraxray images: https://t.co/Ff3RKPCceo
An irregular galaxy undergoing intense star formation because of a gravitational interaction with a neighboring galaxy hundreds of millions of years ago. Chandra X-rays (blue), supplemented by NuSTAR data, show towering superwinds of million-degree gas blowing thousands of light-years out of the galactic disk, with Hubble optical light (yellow, orange and white) showing the galaxy shape, and Webb and Spitzer detailing infrared dust emission (red). M82 was nicknamed the Cigar Galaxy mostly because of its edge-on angle to Earth, which makes its central disk look like an elongated, cigar-shaped oval with small optical telescopes. The galaxy illustrates how violent galactic "exhaust systems" can regulate a galaxy's growth by venting gas outwards.
