NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has followed up on observations by the Hubble Space Telescope of the farthest star ever detected in the very distant universe, within the first billion years after the big bang.
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has established an extraordinary new benchmark: detecting the light of a star that existed within the first billion years after the universe’s birth in the big bang – the farthest individual star ever seen to date.
All about the Perseid meteors, which are actually small pieces of space debris that originate from comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle go.nasa.gov/3OQ7e9s #NASASolarSystem
The meteors are coming! ☄️ The annual Perseid meteor shower peaks on the night of Aug. 12-13. It's a great time to watch for meteors, sometimes called "shooting stars" – especially if you have access to clear, dark skies away from city lights. youtu.be/Nz6m-9MZSmE?t=65 #NASASolarSystem

A wrinkle in spacetime reveals ancient Earendel✴️ The most distant star is seen by @NASAWebb because a massive galaxy cluster bends light, allowing us to look through it like a magnifying glass. Based on its colors, astronomers think Earendel may have a cooler companion star!… #NASAExoplanets
We know the Moon has water, so could future astronauts access and make use of it? We're working on it. Once it lands at the lunar South Pole, our Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment-1 (PRIME-1) will robotically sample ice from beneath the lunar surface: go.nasa.gov/2QygCmF
NASA’s Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment-1 (PRIME-1) is leading development of the lunar drill called TRIDENT, which can core out a hole roughly three feet deep on the lunar surface.
Check out this patchwork of well-preserved mud cracks that @MarsCuriosity found. They show a history of wet-dry cycles on early Mars, which scientists think could have provided conditions for microscopic life to form. Latest findings: go.nasa.gov/3QtgykZ #NASAMars

We're eating up @NASAWebb's second look at the star Earendel, first seen by @NASAHubble. It's the farthest star ever detected, & Webb now shows it to be more than twice as hot as our Sun and about a million times brighter: go.nasa.gov/3OOJEtL #NASA

Surface temperatures in cities are usually warmer than in rural and undeveloped lands because of human activities and building materials. Streets are often the hottest part because dark asphalt paving absorbs more sunlight than lighter-colored ones. go.nasa.gov/3OOzzNr #NASAEarth
Streets and other built surfaces in the region absorbed and retained heat long after sunset and grew hotter over many days of persistent high temperatures.
Each year, NASA scientists, engineers, and developers create software packages to manage space missions, test spacecraft, and analyze the petabytes of data produced by agency research satellites.
#OTD in 2005, STS-114 completed the Space Shuttle Program's 14-day "Return to Space" mission, the first after the tragic loss of Columbia 2.5 years earlier.
STS-114 was the first Return to Flight mission since the tragic loss of Columbia Feb. 1, 2003. Two and a half years were spent researching and implementing safety improvements for orbiters and external tanks.

Discovered by @NASAHubble, Earendel is the farthest star ever detected. Webb’s fresh look reveals it to be a massive B-type star more than twice as hot and about a million times more luminous than our Sun: go.nasa.gov/3Os44aC #JamesWebb
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has followed up on observations by the Hubble Space Telescope of the farthest star ever detected in the very distant universe, within the first billion years after the big bang.
Earendel is only detectable thanks to a galaxy cluster between the star and us. The cluster’s gravity bends light, magnifying what's behind it—in the case of Earendel, by a factor of at least 4000! Based on its colors, astronomers think Earendel may have a cooler companion star. #JamesWebb

WhatsApp introduces screen sharing during video calls, rolling out on iOS, Android, and Windows, and support for landscape mode on video calls (Jagmeet Singh/TechCrunch)
The problem is that TechCrunch redirects our crawler to the cookie consent page because of the German IP even though it clearly identifies itself as a bot in the user agent.
@williamgunn @Sarahp @zackwhittaker This isn't fixable on our side, if that's what you mean. We already do everything the best we can: The user agent could not be mistaken for a browser, and even contains "Bot" in it. I hope somebody at TechCrunch or Yahoo notices at some point.
