Brightest Cosmic Explosion Ever Detected Had Other Unique Features
Observations by NASA’s NuSTAR X-ray telescope give astronomers new clues about the brightest and most energetic gamma-ray burst ever detected.Tony Greicius (NASA)
In biological oceanography, it helps to have a good filter 🙊
Scientists with @nasa’s S-MODE mission are on a research vessel, filtering samples of water to remove particles and tiny organisms like phytoplankton. go.nasa.gov/3MSpfls

Happy launch-iversary to the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope!
Hubble and Fermi have teamed up to study some of the universe’s most powerful events, like the “BOAT” – Brightest of All Time – gamma-ray burst (infrared afterglow circled in image): go.nasa.gov/45XFfem

NASA Missions Study What May Be a 1-In-10,000-Year Gamma-ray Burst
On Sunday, Oct. 9, 2022, a pulse of intense radiation swept through the solar system so exceptional that astronomers quickly dubbed it the BOAT – the brightest of all time.Francis Reddy (NASA)

20 years ago, Spirit was on its way to Mars!
#NOW in 2003, the first of 2 nearly identical Mars rovers (named Spirit) was launched to the Red Planet. Spirit went on to successfully land in Gusev Crater and explore the Martian terrain for over 6 years. go.nasa.gov/3qwjPEY

#50YearsAgo today, the Explorer 49 satellite launched toward the Moon to study low-frequency radio emissions from our solar system and beyond.
With its antennas deployed it measured 457.2 m, making it the largest human-made object to orbit the Moon. go.nasa.gov/3OWKLI9

Hey pass it along to people whoever make decisions to get the hell off twitter. Elon used twitter to manipulate the Turkish election becauae people didnt know it was a weapon.
NASA knows twitter is a far right weapon. NASA must get off twitter.
