Meet SPHEREx, NASA's next cosmic mapmaker – targeting launch in late February 2025. This space telescope will scan the entire sky, charting the positions of hundreds of millions of galaxies in 102 infrared wavelengths. Here are its 3 science goals: go.nasa.gov/4hvbmYT
Webb meets a web 🕸️ Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, researchers identified new galaxies in the developing galaxy known as Spiderweb, using Webb's infrared capabilities, which can peer through cosmic dust more easily than using visible light. https://lnkd.in/e27q4Wrs
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered a groundbreaking look at star formation in the dusty ribbons of the star cluster NGC 346, located in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). This area, one of the most active star-forming regions in nearby galaxies, has long been shrouded in mystery. But Webb's infrared data is changing that! 💥 What Makes This Discovery So Special? Unlike what scientists expected, Webb's observations show that the SMC is rich in dust—despite its low metal content. These findings offer new insights into how stars and possibly planets formed billions of years ago, during the "cosmic noon" era. 👉 Ready to learn more about Webb’s groundbreaking discovery?

Using data from two NASA missions including the SwRI-led Magnetospheric MultiScale (MMS), scientists created a new model that may help explain how electron cosmic rays accelerate in space. https://lnkd.in/gMJ8DUE3

Planet Saturn: 18-hours of Moon Motion Observations: August 2024 | Hubble. This is a time-lapse video of a Hubble Space Telescope set of images taken of planet Saturn in August 2024. In the 18 hours of observations several small icy moons are visible in every frame speeding around like race cars: Dione, Enceladus, Janus, Mimas, and Tethys. Their orbits are co-planar with Saturn's magnificent rings. Dusty "spokes" in the rings can also be seen rotating around the planet in this movie. These images were taken under a Hubble program called Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL). ٓ Credits: Science: NASA, European Space Agency, Amy Simon (NASA-GSFC), Michael H.

"NASA's Next Big Thing: The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Ori Fox, Space Telescope Science Institute. NASA's upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is readying for launch in late 2026. Roman will be able to survey the sky 1,000 times faster than Hubble. It will collect near-infrared imaging and spectroscopic data with Hubble-quality resolution and sensitivity over fields of view 200 times greater than Hubble. Roman's data will enrich all areas of astrophysics by enabling studies of nearly every class of astronomical object, phenomenon, and environment across the observable universe. Dr. Fox will discuss the details of the Roman mission, with a focus on its scientific goals. These exciting studies include the discovery of thousands of new planets and pinpointing the source of a mysterious force called dark energy that permeates our universe."

For anyone interested in learning how scientists are identifying potentially habitable exoplanets using the James Webb space telescope, this is a really great post from NASA. It explains what transit and spectroscopy are and how they are used when attempting to identify characteristics of known exoplanets. It also discusses challenges specific to Webb and how combining it's observations with data from the upcoming Roman space telescope mission will lay the foundation for discovery with the future Habitable Worlds observatory. https://lnkd.in/e3GEHm9K

The production of heavy elements inside stellar furnaces is a necessary but not sufficient condition for life to arise. For this to happen, other phenomena must also occur at the same time, which are also necessary but not sufficient, such as the diffusion of these elements into interstellar space.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope examined Wolf-Rayet 140, a system of two massive stars in our Milky Way galaxy, that create carbon-rich dust shells as they swing past each other. The rings move outward at 1600 miles per second, making them noticeably different from one year to the next. This observation helps scientists understand how carbon, which is essential for life, become widely distributed across the universe. https://lnkd.in/ekn76fgA
