“… in the stunning Webb [near IR] view, the planet's dark and ghostly appearance is due to atmospheric methane that absorbs infrared light… Coated with frozen nitrogen, Neptune's largest moon Triton is brighter than Neptune in reflected sunlight, seen at the upper left sporting the Webb telescope's characteristic diffraction spikes. Including Triton, seven of Neptune's 14 known moons can be identified in the field of view.”

NASA confirms: this July was the hottest month on record.🌡️go.nasa.gov/3qwsszU

Our record starts in 1880, when consistent global recordkeeping became possible. It shows an undeniable pattern of increasing global temperatures, primarily from human emissions of carbon dioxide.

This #HubbleClassic image shows the top of a pillar of gas and dust in the Carina Nebula.

Located about 7,500 light-years away, this pillar is home to newborn stars that are nestled within it. Discover more: go.nasa.gov/45oEMkv

Mid-infrared!

Webb sees in near-infrared and mid-infrared wavelengths — invisible light that we feel as heat. This allows the telescope to peer back in time at the early universe, look through dust clouds to see stars being born, and more: spaceplace.nasa.gov/james-webb…

5,496!
That's how many planets we've confirmed beyond our own solar system. Some may have rubies blowing in winds, others may have broken glass. Some are so hot, molecules can't survive. Others are so cold, everything is locked in a deep freeze. Each is just right in its own way.…

WOW! This is so cool. Awesome idea. Sigining from #Lisbon #Portugal. -> Sign Your Name to Europa Clipper's Message in a Bottle -> You're invited to #SendYourName to Jupiter's moon Europa by signing a poem by U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón that will travel aboard NASA's @EuropaClipper spacecraft europa.nasa.gov/message-in-a-b…

Bring on some Europa, Enceladus and Ganymede missions. We need to see those subsurface oceans!
Some scenic shots of the liquid methane lakes on Titan wouldn’t go amiss either.
