If this “.” were a black hole, it would have about the mass of Jupiter’s moon Ganymede crammed into it! To become a black hole, it’s not about how much stuff an object has, but how much it’s been smooshed. That's a lot of gravity, period. https://t.co/mW2yFwmOsl https://t.co/69hd

#TBT to Sept. 20, 1979, when NASA’s final High Energy Astronomy Observatory, HEAO 3, launched into space. It mapped the sky in gamma-ray light and made detailed measurements of cosmic ray particles, helping us learn about supernova remnants, distant galaxies, and more. https://t.
This photograph was taken during encapsulation of HEAO 3 into the payload faring that would sit atop its rocket. The spacecraft, near the center of the image, is a tall, boxy structure mostly wrapped in white and shiny gold coverings. The module at its base is covered in shiny silver. Blue, segmented solar panels cover the left side of the spacecraft. On either side of HEAO 3 are the halves of a large white protective shroud that is cylindrical with a cone-shaped tip. Its interior is black. The clean room is stark white and brightly lit, filled with various equipment and structures. Several people stand near the base of the spacecraft, wearing protective white garments and hair coverings. The photo is watermarked “Credit: NASA.”

How does the universe work? Our @NASARoman is poised to help us answer this question by shedding light on dark matter, the invisible glue that holds the universe together. Dark matter makes up about 27% of the universe, but we still don’t know what it is. ⬇️ https://t.co/5raQJKK5
This image, titled “NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope; Deep Field SMACS 0723,” shows Webb’s mid-infrared view of the galaxy cluster on the left and near-infrared view on the right. The background of space is black in both. The mid-infrared image shows fewer sources. Galaxies and stars appear in blue, green, yellow, and red. The stars have short spikes created by the telescope’s optics. The near-infrared image looks sharper than the mid-infrared one and shows thousands of white and orange galaxies and bluish, spiky stars. Many long orange arcs curve around the image center. Some objects appear in both images. At bottom left are arrows indicating the image’s orientation in the sky. Below the image is a color key showing which MIRI and NIRCam filters were used and which visible-light color is assigned to each filter. The image is watermarked “Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI.”

Zippy particles called cosmic rays travel at nearly light speed across the cosmos, and astronomers have been searching for sites where these particles get their energy. Thanks to our NuSTAR telescope, we’ve found another candidate: pulsar wind nebulae. https://t.co/EIM8OJp71U htt
This composite image shows a supernova remnant with a pulsar wind nebula in the center in X-ray and radio light. A large, deep purple bubble fills the image, extending outside the top and bottom edges. At the center of the bubble is a bright white dot, marking the location of the crushed stellar core. Offset from the center is a hazy red region, which is a pulsar wind nebula. Another aqua blob in the lower right of the supernova remnant is an unrelated X-ray source. The image is watermarked “Credit: Brunelli et al. (2026)/MeerKAT (Heywood et al. 2022)/H. Earnshaw.”

It’s okay to be different! Omega Centauri is the largest, brightest, and most massive globular cluster in the Milky Way. But it might not even be a globular cluster. It may be the core of a dwarf galaxy captured by the Milky Way and stripped of its outer stars. #MondayMotivation
This ultraviolet image of Omega Centauri is a composite of three images with colors selected to emphasize different UV wavelengths. It was captured by NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory and features thousands and thousands of tiny colorful dots that are clumped together on the black background of space. The majority of the dots, which represent stars at varying stages of their lives, are clustered slightly below the center of the image in a bright region. The density of the stars decreases toward the edges of the image, with just a few dozen stars scattered around the edges of the cluster. The image is watermarked “Credit: NASA/Swift/S. Holland (GSFC), M. Siegel and E. Fonseca (PSU).”

The supernova responsible for the Crab Nebula was observed in 1054 and cataloged as a “guest star” by Chinese astronomers. Over the past two decades, we’ve been able to map the changes in the cloud of debris left behind by this explosion. #MondayMotivation https://t.co/GNadR8QGll
This composite image of the Crab Nebula combines X-ray and infrared light from NASA’s Chandra and Webb telescopes. The nebula is an oval with a complex interior structure against a black background. On its exterior are curtains of glowing red and orange fluffy material. Its interior shell has large-scale loops of mottled filaments of yellow-white and green, studded with clumps and knots. Nestled within is a blue and purple shape resembling a spinning toy top made of white wispy clouds, resting on its side. In the center is a ball of brilliant white light, which is the neutron star. It is the remnant of the star that exploded to create this nebula. From the bottom of the neutron star, a jet of matter is rushing downward, like scalding hot steam being released from a valve. The image is watermarked “Credit: X-ray: NASA/CXC/SAO; Infrared: NASA/STScI; Image Processing: NASA/CXC/SAO/J. Major.”

#TBT to Sept. 6, 2023, when the XRISM telescope launched from Japan! Led by @JAXA_en in partnership with @NASA and with contributions from @ESA, XRISM helps us study some of the hottest spots and most energetic events in the cosmos. Catch up with XRISM: https://t.co/dA6J2GeW27 h
This illustration depicts JAXA’s XRISM spacecraft in orbit in star-filled space above Earth along with a variety of cosmic objects the telescope will observe. The satellite is roughly cylindrical and wrapped in crinkled gold material. One end of XRISM features several small circular openings. Shiny, black solar panels extend horizontally from the top of the spacecraft with three segments on each side. Above XRISM, from left to right, are dozens of small galaxies surrounded by swirls of pink and purple gas, light warped into a circular shape with a flat disc by the extreme gravity of a black hole, a wispy, butterfly-shaped nebula, and over a dozen larger galaxies in a variety of shapes, including glowing elliptical galaxies and majestic multiarmed spirals. The image is watermarked with “Artist’s concept” and “Credit: JAXA.”

The stellar remnant known as pulsar J0002 is hurtling through space at nearly 2.5 million miles per hour away from the expanding debris of the supernova that created it. It's traveling so fast that it will eventually leave our galaxy. #MondayMotivation https://t.co/sBFwJHvx1b
The ghostly bubble of supernova remnant CTB 1 is captured in observations from the VLA (Very Large Array) and the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory’s Canadian Galactic Plane Survey. The golden curved rim of the remnant’s shell is near the center of the image, with the straight, glowing trail from pulsar J0002+6216 pointing toward the lower left. The image is filled with hazy blue clouds and dotted with off-white orbs of varying sizes and brightness. This image is watermarked with “Credit: Composite by Jayanne English, University of Manitoba, using data from NRAO/F. Schinzel et al., DRAO/Canadian Galactic Plane Survey and NASA/IRAS.”

For the first time, astronomers found a six-star system where all stars undergo eclipses. They used data from TESS, a supercomputer, and automated eclipse-identifying software to help make the discovery: https://t.co/TmLzD6gLJS https://t.co/ULHIHqzOgQ
This diagram depicts six stars that interact with each other in complex orbits. The stars are arranged in pairs: Systems A, B, and C, are each shown with one larger white star and one smaller orange star. The two stars of System A, in the upper left, are connected by a red oval and labeled "1.3-day orbit." The two stars of System C, just below System A, are connected by a teal oval and labeled "1.6-day orbit." These two systems orbit each other, shown as a larger blue oval connecting the two and labeled "A and C orbit every 4 years." In the bottom right of the image, the two stars of System B are connected by a green oval and labeled "8.2-day orbit." System B orbits the combined AC system, shown as a very large lilac oval labeled "AC and B orbit every 2,000 years." A caption at the bottom of the image notes, "Star sizes are to scale, orbits are not." The image is watermarked with “Illustration” and “Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.”
