Even baby stars burp!
Data from our retired Spitzer Space Telescope shows that young protostars can experience outbursts about every 400 years. These eruptions are a sign that the growing stars are devouring gas and dust from disks that surround them. go.nasa.gov/3gRVxkj

Mauna Loa is erupting for the first time in 4 decades, with lava flows reaching 100-200 feet in some cases.
As the volcano began erupting Nov. 27, the @nasa/@NOAA Suomi NPP satellite captured nighttime imagery of the lava’s intensely glowing light & heat. go.nasa.gov/3XDS6hX

Mauna Loa Awakens
During the first eruption in nearly four decades, satellites observed the volcano’s 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.

Yesterday, NASA’s uncrewed Orion spacecraft reached its max distance from Earth — 268,563 miles from Earth!
Orion will continue in its distant retrograde orbit for a few more days before swinging by the Moon again on its way back to Earth. 🌏👋🛰🌒

Orion has many cameras that it uses to capture gorgeous imagery of itself as well as Earth and the Moon at different phases and distances.
Images from its optical navigation camera help establish Orion’s position in space, a method that could be useful for future missions.
