A pair of views of a pair of (merging) galaxies? Yes, please!
Hubble and @NASAWebb have both observed the galactic pair II ZW 96 in different wavelengths of light.
You can learn more about these views here: go.nasa.gov/3GZrPo8
#Hubble
In Hubbleโs visible-light view from 2008, the starburst systems that have formed between the two galactic cores with their older stars are clearly seen.
However, Webbโs view showcases the brightness of the star-forming regions which have been activated by this merger, which are particularly luminous in infrared light, which Webb observes.
LIVE NOW: We're previewing @NASA_Orionโs scheduled departure from its distant retrograde orbit around the Moon, which will begin on Thursday, Dec. 1 at 4:53pm ET (21:53 UTC). #Artemis twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1kvJpโฆ

The team used data from Argo floats, underwater instruments that drift and bob with ocean currents.
These devices measure chlorophyll-a and particulate carbon in the water โ both factors that indicate phytoplankton are present.

Ice height data from @nasaโs ICESat-2 satellite and ice-cover models allowed the team to map where and how much light was penetrating through thin spots and openings in Antarctic sea ice, and how the ice moved over time.

During the first eruption in nearly four decades, satellites observed the volcanoโs nighttime glow and sulfur dioxide plume.go.nasa.gov
As the volcano erupts, Mauna Loa is emitting sulfur dioxide (SO2), a pungent gas that reacts with oxygen and water to form a gray volcanic haze called vog.
This map shows where the @esa Sentinel-5P satellite detected sulfur dioxide with its TROPOMI sensor.
