Take a deep dive into how our optics team keeps Webb’s mirrors in top performance shape, enabling it to continue seeing the universe in unprecedented detail. (Hint: by making small adjustments to the mirror segments as shown here.) go.nasa.gov/40D9Ttm
A supermassive black hole located 12.1 billion light-years from Earth is consuming matter at a phenomenal rate — over 40 times the theoretical limit! This discovery could help explain how supermassive black holes grew so quickly in the early Universe: s.si.edu/lid568 ⚫
Today Chandra is studying NGC 1512 as part of a multi-observatory project to help us learn more about different phases of star formation in nearby spiral galaxies. NGC 1512 is located about 30 million light-years from Earth, shown here in infrared light captured by @NASAWebb
Webb has its eye on Titan, a moon of Saturn, a place where methane and ethane make up its liquid rivers and seas. Learn more about future Titan studies in Other Worlds Episode 3. NASA+: plus.nasa.gov/video/other-wo… Youtube: youtu.be/LkYPsWnsBOc
A nearly 100-billion-mile-diameter debris disk encircles the star Vega. Astronomers have long assumed this was a disk of planet-forming material, but new observations with Hubble and @NASAWebb offer a different verdict. "The Vega disk is smooth, ridiculously smooth."
The eerie eye of a Phantom in the sky… Here’s an updated look at M74, also known as the Phantom Galaxy. New Webb data is allowing scientists a better look at its stellar nurseries. esawebb.org/images/potm241…
What has NASA done for you lately? We've contributed more than $75 billion in economic output, supported over 300,000 jobs, and provided benefits to all 50 states (and the District of Columbia) in fiscal year 2023. Get the receipts: nasa.gov/value-of-nasa/
Shopping for pumpkins this weekend? Consider carving your own James Webb Space Pumpkin! We have five Webb-related designs, with differing degrees of difficulty. If you make a Webb-related pumpkin, be sure to tag us so we can share! go.nasa.gov/3NxeEgs
Got your pickaxe? We're inviting gamers, educators, and students to check out a new #MinecraftEdu world inspired by @NASAWebb! This partnership with @Minecraft allows creators to explore star formation, planets, and galaxies, modeled on real Webb images: go.nasa.gov/3YfxqyX
