#NASAWebb’s solar array has successfully deployed, and Webb’s batteries are charging up ⚡ #UnfoldTheUniverse
GU Orbit retweeted
For years, we’ve been answering the question: When will #NASAWebb launch? This morning, we answered that for the last time! Next up: Where is Webb? We’ve got an answer for that, too!
See where Webb is on its million mile journey to #UnfoldTheUniverse: webb.nasa.gov/whereiswebb

The James Webb Space Telescope (sometimes called JWST or Webb) is a large infrared telescope with a 21.3 foot (6.5 meter) primary mirror. The observatory will study every phase of cosmic history—from within our solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe. Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls)

The Psyche spacecraft will orbit a world we can barely pinpoint from Earth! #MissionToPsyche, launching in 2022, will travel to the main asteroid belt between Mars & Jupiter to explore a metal-rich asteroid of the same name. Learn more about its journey: go.nasa.gov/3FmAptO

From @chandraxray to our newest mission, IXPE, @NASA_Marshall’s Martin Weisskopf has spent his career exploring the X-ray universe. In the latest episode of the Gravity Assist podcast, learn more about his research and what he hopes to learn from #IXPE: go.nasa.gov/3pspd7W 🎧

It’s critical we begin to secure additional flights to the station now to maintain a U.S. presence on the @Space_Station. Our U.S. human launch capability is essential to our continued safe operations in orbit and to building our low-Earth orbit economy.
We're seeking up to three additional crew flights to the @Space_Station from @SpaceX as part of our Commercial Crew Transportation Capabilities contract. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3rA1962

In a nearby galaxy, a supermassive black hole spews spectacular jets of material into space well beyond the galaxy’s limits.
What's going on?
➡️ @NASAWebb will deliver high-resolution, infrared data to help find out! Learn how on #BlackHoleFriday: go.nasa.gov/314CknM
ALT A galaxy sportting a wharped central disk of gas and dust glows pink and red on the backdrop of a massive starfield. The supermassive black hole at its center emits two long jets, longer than the width of the galaxy itself, of material.

There’s hardly ever a dull day in the universe, especially when black holes are involved. ⚫ Check out this thread for some of the latest black hole news! #BlackHoleFriday

Happy launchiversary to me! 🥳️
#OTD 10 years ago, I blasted off in a rocket and into the vastness of space toward my home here on Mars. It’s wild to think it’s been a decade since I left Earth to come explore this amazing planet. go.nasa.gov/3FI8QuE

🕳️ It's the day you've been waiting for all year: #BlackHoleFriday!
Today we're sharing awesome images and facts about these extreme objects. But what are black holes, and how do we study them? Jump in: go.nasa.gov/3lba7T6
