    A student at the Rochester Institute of Technology generated this time-lapse video of a set of @chandraxray exposures of the galaxy Centaurus A. This composite reminds us that astronomical data isn't static — it’s a living record of time, energy, and light. 🔗

    During their visit, the Artemis II crew asked our employees to raise their hand if they worked on the mission in any way... the crowd was a sea full of hands. On this #LaborDay, we thank our team for their incredible dedication. We wish you a safe and relaxing holiday!
    The crew of NASA’s Artemis II mission – NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen – visited Huntsville, Alabama, Tuesday, Aug. 1, where they met with the NASA workforce at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center.

    National Read a Book Day: Space Stories Edition! Hooray for SLS! The rocket sent the Artemis II crew on an exciting, historic mission. Our Friend Orion kept them safe while they explored farther than ever before. And thanks to our important partners, they were able to go There

    M82 is an irregular galaxy undergoing intense star formation due to a gravitational interaction with another galaxy. Nicknamed the Cigar Galaxy, it shows how violent galactic "exhaust systems" can regulate a galaxy's growth. See more @chandraxray images: go.nasa.gov/4gV1U1n
    An irregular galaxy undergoing intense star formation because of a gravitational interaction with a neighboring galaxy hundreds of millions of years ago. Chandra X-rays (blue), supplemented by NuSTAR data, show towering superwinds of million-degree gas blowing thousands of light-years out of the galactic disk, with Hubble optical light (yellow, orange and white) showing the galaxy shape, and Webb and Spitzer detailing infrared dust emission (red). M82 was nicknamed the Cigar Galaxy mostly because of its edge-on angle to Earth, which makes its central disk look like an elongated, cigar-shaped oval with small optical telescopes. The galaxy illustrates how violent galactic "exhaust systems" can regulate a galaxy's growth by venting gas outwards.

    From Marshall to Michoud - the celebration continues! Yesterday, the Artemis II crew visited #NASAMichoud where so much of their journey began. They shared stories from their trip around the Moon and connected with the workforce that built the SLS rocket that launched them! 🚀
