ICYMI: Hubble has revealed the largest found chaotic birthplace of planets. The telescope identified the largest known protoplanetary disk—spanning an astonishing 400 billion miles, roughly 40 times the diameter of our solar system. https://t.co/WnH47ANdSP

✨10 images from our cosmic year 2025📡 No.4⃣ALMA and @NASAWebb @ESA_Webb reveal the hidden heart of the Butterfly Nebula🦋 No.3⃣New models on the evolution of the disks where planets are born🪐 No.2⃣ Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS! Chemical composition ☄️

After 48 years of travel, NASA 's Voyager 1 is nearing one light-day from Earth, almost 16 billion miles away. A proud milestone for humanity, and a humbling reminder of how small we are in an infinite universe.

Following its launch in March atop a Falcon 9, NASA’s SPHEREx observatory has completed its first map of the universe. Data for the map was collected over six months, with the final map being comprised of 102 near-infrared wavelengths ⬇️ https://t.co/5l5MzmnfnE

So what Spaceflight highlights from 2025 absolutely need to get included in my DJ set this year, which awesome bits of video are essential, perhaps something less obvious, a deep cut that wins just on aesthetics?

The total power of two jet-exhausts emerging from 3I/ATLAS remains conserved. Slide 1: when the anti-tail jet (left) is weak, pointing toward the Sun, the other jet (right) is strong. Slide 2: when the anti-tail jet (left) is strong, the other jet (right) is weak. This behavior

The trick to identifying JWST images in an instant Have you ever seen an image of space and wondered, "is this really from the JWST?" If so, this one cool visual sign is a dead giveaway, and once you see it, you'll always know. https://t.co/WyuZsWRlif

🌋 Could lava tubes hide signs of life on Mars? To find out, NASA researchers went deep beneath Hawai‘i’s volcanoes to study Earth’s own lava tubes – extreme places where life survives. Watch our new documentary, streaming now on NASA+: https://t.co/EYiK36GIBN

A short barrel section with stringers at the top has emerged from Starfactory this evening and is sitting in the ring yard. Is this the reason for tonight's road delay? 🎥 https://t.co/5b1GE4yN8B @NASASpaceflight

BBC Science Focus Most experts now believe aliens exist. Here’s what convinced them The research is mounting up that we might not be alone in this big wide world #ufotwtter https://t.co/hTsF4sUEYH

Our final ESA/Hubble Picture of the Week features a vista of stellar birth! This is a detail of the star-forming complex N159, which is found in the Large Magellanic Cloud, approximately 160,000 light-years away. 1/3

Fascinating: two different views of the Sagittarius B2 molecular cloud. In near-infrared light, the region’s diverse, colourful stars stand out, while much of the gas and dust structure remains hidden. In mid-infrared, warm dust glows brightly—revealing far more of the cloud’s

🚨: On March 3, 2026, Earth’s shadow will fully cover the Moon, creating a "Blood Moon". Red light passing through Earth’s atmosphere gives the Moon its copper glow. Events like this show how connected Earth, light, and space really are.

🚨: Huge 15-tonne meteorite contains two minerals never seen Before in nature A space rock found in Somalia has been found to contain at least two minerals only previously known to have been produced artificially!

The SQD at Sanchez is having flex hoses installed. This structure must be fast approaching install-ready now. @LabPadre

🚨 NEW 3I/ATLAS VIDEO 🚨 New perigee footage of 3I/ATLAS, captured by Mario Feraco, has just been released—and it adds a new layer of mystery. The object moves across the night sky at an extreme speed, unlike anything usually seen in our solar system. The wide field of view

This is the star cluster Westerlund 2, which contains some of the Milky Way’s hottest, brightest, and most massive stars 🤩 These two views of the cluster come from the #NIRCam and #MIRI on board Webb and the Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Camera 3 on Hubble.
