Happy birthday, Goddard! . Our center was founded May 1, 1959. Want to celebrate with us? See what @NASAHubble image was captured on your birthday. Hubble captured this image of NGC 3982 on our birthday in 2000:

Twister: Space style! 🌪️ 🌌 . Meet Herbig-Haro 49/50 (HH 49/50), nicknamed the “Cosmic Tornado” for its helical appearance. @NASAWebb’s infrared mirrors captured this detailed view of HH 49/50, which was produced by jets launched from a nearby, forming star. Outflows like HH

One ring to rule them all… 💍 💫 . @NASAHubble spotted this vibrant blue ring of hot, young stars within spiral galaxy NGC 1317, located more than 50 million light-years away in the constellation Fornax. Experts captured this stunning image using Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3,

What’s scarier than 1 black hole? Two black holes! 🙈. Astronomers saw a star ripped apart with @NASAHubble, pinpointing a supermassive black hole. Looking closer, researchers saw something unusual: the black hole was offset from the center of its galaxy.

@NASAHubble Supermassive black holes are typically found at a galaxy’s center. But this black hole isn't alone! An even larger supermassive black hole is actually located at the galaxy’s center. Someday, the offset black hole may eventually spiral in and merge with the bigger black hole.

Earth's atmosphere keeps us safe by providing air and blocking harmful rays from the Sun. But for years, certain chemicals damaged the ozone layer, exposing us to dangerous UV radiation. In this episode of NASA’s Curious Universe podcast, we’ll take a deep dive into NASA’s.

Monster black holes? Don't worry, they're nice(r). With the NICER instrument, researchers studied QPEs — mysterious repeating X-ray outbursts that may occur in systems where a lower-mass object passes through the gas around a supermassive black hole.

All that glitters is… the remnants of magnetar giant flares? . A study using 20-year-old archival data from @NASA and @ESA telescopes revealed evidence that some of the first elements heavier than iron, like gold, came from flares from highly magnetized neutron stars!
