A clear night without a moon, a stunning view deep in the mountains of Niigata

🚨: 800 billion stars captured in a single frame. This is the Sombrero galaxy, captured by Hubble. 31 million light-years away from us.

What a sight! Hubble, and Chandra’s combined data offers a new almost supernatural view of II Zw 096, two galaxies merging with a brilliant burst of star formation. Credit: X-ray: NASA, CXC, SAO; Visible: NASA, ESA, STScI; Infrared: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI. 🔭 #NASAWebb

🚨: The Big Bang is not the beginning of our universe — It’s actually the End of something else entirely.

Milky Way and Thunderstorms🌌🌩️

The Soul Nebula, 7,500 light-years away.

Tonight's full moon. A beautiful full moon has risen from the eastern sky. Through binoculars, you can easily see the patterns of the rabbit and the crab, too. Tonight, it looks like there will be many areas with cloudy skies across the country.

Remember that time when you spotted the remains of an exploded star that no one had identified before and Chandra followed up, revealing superheated debris? Together we helped scientists understand one of the youngest remnants in our galaxy, G306.3. We'll miss you, Swift!💜

Starry Night Milky Way ✨

Today, October 26 (Mon), is a full moon. After sunset, a perfectly round moon will rise from the eastern sky. It'll be easier to see around 7 p.m. The weather is a concern nationwide, but if it clears up, why not take it easy and gaze at the moon.

Look what I saw in the sky today.

An incredible Heart-shaped nebula 💙 It is located in the constellation Cassiopeia, at a distance of over 7,500 light-years.

Milky Way over Moai Statues, Easter Island, Chile 🗿🌌

This is the heart of the Rosetta Nebula, where a cluster of very bright young stars is located. In the image, different colors have been used to indicate the presence of elements: red, for sulfur; green, for hydrogen; and blue, for oxygen. It is 5200 light-years from the Solar S.

Orion ✨

🚨: Engineers just proposed a 36 mile long spacecraft called 'Chrysalis' that could carry 2400 people to Alpha Centauri, just 4 light-years away from us, on one way trip. The journey will take 400 years! The passengers who board it will never see Earth again.
