Hubble Tracks Planet Jupiter’s Stormy Weather | NASA Goddard FriendsofNASA.org: The giant planet Jupiter, in all its banded glory, takes the spotlight in these new images from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope that capture both sides of the planet. Big enough to swallow Earth, the classic Great Red Spot storm stands out prominently in Jupiter’s atmosphere. To its lower right, at a more southerly latitude, is a feature sometimes dubbed Red Spot Jr. This giant storm, called an anticyclone, was the result of other storms merging in 1998 and 2000, and it first appeared red in 2006. Studying the planets in our solar system helps us understand our own weather patterns closer to home, and allows us to theorize what potential exoplanet weather is like in other star systems in our universe.

Hubble Space Telescope Helps Investigate the Mystery of Mars’ Escaping Water FriendsofNASA.org: Mars was once a very wet planet. Scientists know that over the last 3 billion years, part of the water went underground, but what happened to the rest? Now, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) Mission are helping to unlock that mystery. To understand how much water there was and what happened to it, scientists need to understand how the atoms escape into space. A team combined data from Hubble and MAVEN to measure the current rate of these atoms escaping into space. This information allowed them to extrapolate the escape rate backwards through time to understand the history of water on the Red Planet.

A Year in the Life of Earth: A Cosmic Perspective From a million miles away, NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory has been our cosmic eye, capturing the sunlit side of our planet 13 to 22 times a day since 2015. Imagine the vastness of the stratosphere, its protective ozone layers, and the intricate dance of clouds sweeping across the globe. EPIC's constant watch has allowed scientists like Adam Szabo, Alexander Marshak, and Jay Herman at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center to unlock the secrets of our atmosphere. Their research unveils not only the beauty of Earth but the intricate processes that sustain life. Beyond the atmosphere, EPIC's unique vantage point reveals the vibrant health of our planet's vegetation and the delicate shimmer of ice crystals in the air—each observation a vital piece in understanding our climate and environment. These insights, brought to life by the artistry of animators and visualizers like Kayvon Sharghi and Joycelyn Thomson Jones, are more than scientific achievements; they are a testament to the interconnectedness of our world. As we witness this year in the life of Earth, let us remember our responsibility in shaping its future. Join the conversation on climate action and environmental stewardship. #inergency, #egreenews, and #Evideosecurity #NASA #hugihernandez If you like our posts you should probably follow and connect with Hugo Hernandez, Founder of Egreenews: https://lnkd.in/ghpRPupC

Tonight's Sky: July 2024 (Northern Hemisphere) FriendsofNASA.org: In July 2024, find the Scorpius constellation to identify the reddish supergiant Antares, which will lead you to discover a trio of globular star clusters. Keep watching for space-based views of these densely packed, spherical collections of ancient stars, as well as three nebulas: the Swan Nebula, the Lagoon Nebula, and the Trifid Nebula. About this Series “Tonight’s Sky” is a monthly video of constellations you can observe in the night sky. The series is produced by the Space Telescope Science Institute, home of science operations for the Hubble Space Telescope, in partnership with NASA’s Universe of Learning.

What's Up for December 2024? | Skywatching Tips from NASA FriendsofNASA.org: Here are examples of skywatching highlights for the northern hemisphere in December 2024: This month, enjoy dazzling views of Venus as the "Evening Star," Jupiter at its brightest during opposition, and Mars doubling in brightness, and look for the Winter Triangle. The Geminid meteor shower peaks under challenging moonlight conditions, but you might get lucky and catch a shooting star that week before sunrise! 0:00 Intro 0:14 December planet highlights 1:31 The Winter Stars 1:57 The Winter Triangle 2:42 Geminid Meteor Shower 3:14 December Moon phases The Geminids meteor shower peaks during mid-December each year. It is considered to be one of the best and most reliable annual meteor showers. During its peak, 120 Geminid meteors can be seen per hour under perfect conditions.

'Blood-Soaked' Eyes: NASA's Webb, Hubble Examine Galaxy Pair By teaming up, these two space telescopes have delivered the highest resolution image of IC 2163 and NGC 2207 to date in a combination of mid-infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light.   This ghastly galactic “countenance” recalls mythological human-hunters like the Algonquian wendigo - an emaciated figure with ashen flesh and glowing eyes that grows larger and larger as it feasts, and is never satiated.   But this image, captured by the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes, isn’t a case of galactic cannibalism - at least, not yet.   The smaller galaxy to the left, IC 2163, has “slithered” behind the larger one at right, NGC 2207, millions of years ago. Though we can’t wait around for millions of years to see what may happen next, researchers can use this crisp combination of mid-infrared light from Webb, and ultraviolet and visible light from Hubble to learn more about the pair, and improve models that may preview the galaxies’ upcoming “thrills.” NASA news article: https://lnkd.in/eJBS7nCD #GalaxyCollision #IC2163 #NGC2207 #CosmicMysteries #GalacticThrills #InfraredImaging #NASA #NASAWebb #jwst #webbspacetelescope #jameswebbtelescope #JamesWebb #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope #webbtelescope #spacetelescope #hubblespacetelescope #hubbletelescope #cosmos #Cosmic #SpaceExploration #blackholes #Nebula #galaxy #Universe #Planet #SpaceScience #spaceexplorers #spacelovers #astronomy #astronomer #outerspace #DeepSpace #Astrophysics #exoplanets #timetravel

Planet Saturn: 18-hours of Moon Motion Observations: August 2024 | Hubble FriendsofNASA.org: This is a time-lapse video of a Hubble Space Telescope set of images taken of planet Saturn in August 2024. In the 18 hours of observations several small icy moons are visible in every frame speeding around like race cars: Dione, Enceladus, Janus, Mimas, and Tethys. Their orbits are co-planar with Saturn's magnificent rings. Dusty "spokes" in the rings can also be seen rotating around the planet in this movie. These images were taken under a Hubble program called Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL). Credits: Science: NASA, European Space Agency, Amy Simon (NASA-GSFC), Michael H.

Planet Jupiter's Rotation: January 2024 | Hubble Space Telescope FriendsofNASA.org: The NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope images used in this animated science visualization present a full rotation of the giant planet Jupiter. This is not a real-time movie. Instead, Hubble snapshots of the colorful planet, taken on January 5–6, 2024, have been photo-mapped onto a sphere, and the model is then rotated in animation. The planet's real rotation rate is nearly 10 hours. This is easily plotted by watching the Great Red Spot come and go with each completed rotation. Hubble monitors Jupiter and the other outer Solar System planets every year under the Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy program (OPAL). Credit: NASA, ESA, J. DePasquale (STScI), A.

NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the globular cluster NGC 2005... It’s not an unusual globular cluster in and of itself, but it is a peculiarity when compared to its surroundings. NGC 2005 is located about 750 light-years from the heart of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), which is the Milky Way’s largest satellite galaxy some 62,000 light-years fro1m Earth. Globular clusters are densely packed groups of stars that can hold tens of thousands or millions of stars. Their density means they are tightly bound by gravity and therefore very stable. This stability contributes to their longevity: globular clusters can be billions of years old and are often comprised of very old stars. Studying globular clusters in space can be a little like studying fossils on Earth: where fossils give insights into the characteristics of ancient plants and animals, globular clusters illuminate the characteristics of ancient stars ...text credit: European Space Agency (ESA) Maisons Of Tomorrow editor@ maisonsoftomorrow #globularcluster #space #magellaniccloud #nasa
