🌦️ Webb's Titan forecast: partly cloudy with occasional methane showers. A science team has combined data from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope and the Keck II telescope to see evidence of cloud convection on Saturn’s moon Titan in the northern hemisphere for the first time! Most of Titan’s lakes and seas are located in that hemisphere, and are likely replenished by an occasional rain of methane and ethane. 🔗 esa.int/Science_Exploration/…
A six-panel graphic with two rows and three columns, showing infrared images of Saturn’s moon Titan. The top row is labeled “Webb, 11 July 2023” and the bottom row is labeled “Keck, 14 July 2023.” The leftmost images are labeled “atmosphere and surface.” They show a mottled globe of brown and yellow with a hazy blue edge. At the top, a white spot that is somewhat faint in the Webb image and brighter in the Keck image has an arrow pointing to it. The middle column is labeled “troposphere” and shows a dark orange globe with a brighter edge. The only features are bright spots near the top and bottom. The top spot is fainter in the Webb image and brighter in the Keck image, and has an arrow pointing to it. The rightmost images are labeled “stratosphere” and also show a dark orange globe with a brighter edge. The top image from Webb is otherwise featureless. The bottom image from Keck, taken three days later, has bright spots near the top and bottom. The top spot has an arrow pointing to it

💡 Back to light. 👀 A space POV: the blackout in Spain and Portugal into the night, captured by @NASA polar satellites. ⚡️ Though electricity was restored to most areas by evening, some regions remained in darkness until early morning. ✨ On a cloudless night, the stars shone brighter. esa.int/Science_Exploration/…

Northwest Sardinia🇮🇹 as seen from space. This @CopernicusEU Sentinel-2 image shows part of the Italian island, featuring the city of Sassari, located on a plateau 225 m above sea level, the port of Porto Torres, and the coastal city of Alghero. Also visible is Asinara Island, once the location of a prison, now a protected marine and wildlife reserve.

🦾 A robotic hand designed to collect samples on other worlds has its mechanical fingers assembled. This “hand” uses two tools to secure its treasure: 🖖 Fingers to grip sample tubes. 🪠A plunger to transfer them to a container. More about this clever mechanism: esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Image… 📸 Added Value Solutions.

Did you know that glaciers steal each other's ice? Thanks to data from @CopernicusEU Sentinel1, @esa_cryosat, and other satellites, scientists have observed an example of a very quick ' ice piracy': a process usually thought to take centuries (or even millennia) happening in less than 18 years in this case: esa.int/Applications/Observi…

Rain, rain, go away 🌧️ @NASAWebb peered through the thick atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan to see the cycle of weather occurring there. On Titan, methane goes through similar condensation, precipitation, and evaporation as water on Earth. go.nasa.gov/3GXQAn1

I'll spy with my panoramic eye... 👁️ The @NASARoman team released plans for three core surveys the telescope will conduct after launch: the High-Latitude Wide-Area Survey, High-Latitude Time-Domain Survey, and Galactic Bulge Time-Domain Survey.
Artist's concept of the Roman Space Telescope against a purple galaxy background. The telescope is a silver cylinder, turned about 20 degrees off facing directly at the viewer. The circular mirror located partway down the barrel of the telescope is still visible, even turned at an off-angle. A solar panel extends sideways from the top of the telescope like a wing. The telescope cover is unfolded above the open end of the telescope barrel, like a garage door.

Landsat 9 image of flooded rice fields in Louisiana, forming an irregular grid of dark greens, rich browns, & tans. Rectangles of darkest green are flooded with water, often next to the lightest beige fields, which have a watercolor appearance. Swirls of darker tan mix across the lighter beige where water is flowing. In the lower left corner, a cluster of white buildings make up a small settlement.

Cosmic candy floss ✨ Today’s NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Picture of the Week features a sparkling cloudscape from one of the Milky Way’s galactic neighbours, a dwarf galaxy called the Large Magellanic Cloud. When viewing such a vivid cosmic scene, it is natural to wonder whether the colours are ‘real’. When image-processing specialists combine raw filtered data into a multi-coloured image like this one, they assign a colour to each filter. Visible-light observations are typically matched to the colour that the filter allows through. Shorter wavelengths of light such as ultraviolet are usually coloured blue or purple, while longer wavelengths like infrared are typically coloured red. 🔗 esahubble.org/images/potw251…
A part of a nebula in space. It is made of layers of gas and dust clouds in different colours, from blue and green shades to pink, red and black, indicating light emitted by different molecules. The background cloud layers are thicker and puffier, though still translucent, and the upper layers are thin and bright at the edges. Behind the clouds are very many small, mostly orange and some blue, stars.
