Curiosity has been working the night shift on Mars! Using the LED lights on the end of its robotic arm, it created this rare nighttime view. It shows a small hole that the robotic geologist bored into the bedrock, revealing layers inside. Drill into the details:

Signed, sealed…delivering! ✉️ Envelopes of dust and gas surround developing stars in these newly released Hubble images. These views show protostars within a stellar breeding ground called the Orion Molecular Cloud, about 1,300 light-years away.

🆕 Webb is changing how we see the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Circinus Galaxy! 🕳️ The material (a powerful source of infrared light) near the black hole was thought to be streaming out from it – but new observations suggest it is actually feeding it. This image

Gotta jet! This new Hubble view shows HH 80/81, a pair of Herbig-Haro objects. Herbig-Haro objects are bright regions that occur when jets of ionized gas ejected by a newly forming star collide with slower, previously ejected outflows of gas from that star.

2026 starts with a glow, literally. Orbit has a way of making the future feel wide open. ✨ This @space_station timelapse reflects the spirit of renewal that drives each mission, as astronauts orbit Earth every 90 minutes supporting science, technology, and international

Orbital motion of the ISS, visualized by sequentially adding the still frames of my star trails. Seen are stacking golden streaks of city lights and straight-line stars in our orbital direction. A surreal perspective of our Earth!

Hubble found Cloud Nine! ☁️ This is a "failed galaxy": a starless, gas-rich, dark-matter cloud considered a remnant of early galaxy formation. Nicknamed “Cloud-9,” this is the first confirmed detection of such an object in the universe: https://t.co/QXAbbc4FgX

🔭 @NASAHubble recently imaged the largest protoplanetary disk ever seen — and it’s far more chaotic and turbulent than expected. The findings mark a new milestone for Hubble and shed light on how planets may form in extreme environments >> https://t.co/p2biDE0u4L

One day …
This is Mars! 🪐🤯 It’s honestly terrifying how much this looks like a random desert on Earth. Just a casual 225 million miles away. The clarity is unreal.

Westerlund 1 is the biggest and closest “super” star cluster to Earth. 🌟 Observations from @chandraxray have uncovered thousands of individual stars pumping out X-ray emission into the cluster. Utilizing this data will help astronomers delve deeper into this galactic factory.
