Ricardo (rgbes@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 06-Dec-2023 22:21:28 UTC Ricardo I've been listening to season 6 of NASA's Curious Universe podcast. So far there are 5 episodes, all of them really good!

Kelly Lepo (kellylepo@astrodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 16-Nov-2023 19:09:00 UTC Kelly Lepo You've heard of a sound echo: Sound bounces off of a surface and reflects back, causing a delay.
Did you know that light echos are also a thing? If there is a flash of light from something like a supernova, that light can hit interstellar clouds of dust and then reflect back, giving you light from the original supernova but on a delay.
We can use this delayed light to learn about what kind of star blew up in the supernova.

Corey S Powell (coreyspowell@mastodon.social)'s status on Friday, 26-May-2023 22:00:25 UTC Corey S Powell Thought for the weekend:
Our eyes are narrowly adapted to conditions on Earth. To see reality as it truly is, we have to use instruments that go far beyond the limits of human vision.
These images merge visible light with infrared & x-rays to show a bigger universe:

Corey S Powell (coreyspowell@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 08-May-2023 16:35:46 UTC Corey S Powell I was a NASA intern in the '80s when I heard that astronomers had discovered a mysterious disk around the nearby star Fomalhaut.
Now JWST has revealed exactly what they are: three enormous, dusty asteroid belts around another star!

Space Telescope Science Inst. (spacetelescope@astrodon.social)'s status on Monday, 27-Mar-2023 17:55:27 UTC Space Telescope Science Inst. The first #NASAWebb results from TRAPPIST-1 are in! Measurements of mid-infrared light from TRAPPIST-1 b indicate that the rocky Earth-sized planet is hot enough to bake pizza and is probably devoid of atmosphere. What does this mean? ➡️ https://webbtelescope.pub/3nlCcLc

Kevin M. Gill (kevinmgill@deepspace.social)'s status on Tuesday, 07-Feb-2023 20:12:12 UTC Kevin M. Gill Here's a picture of the Sun today that I took in hydrogen alpha. Compare that to a picture taken by NASA's Perseverance Rover a few hours ago with its Mastcam-Z. Sunspots 3216 (far-left) and 3214 (left) are visible on both. Even relative sizes check out.
