James Webb didn't just take prettier pictures. It revealed structures Hubble couldn't separate, traced galaxy networks back 13.7 billion years, and just released all 164,000 galaxies to the public. #CosmicWeb# #JamesWebb# #Astronomy#

Scientists have unveiled the LSST Camera at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory — a 3.2-gigapixel imaging system now considered the largest digital camera ever built for astronomy. Roughly the size of a small car, the instrument will repeatedly scan the night sky over the next decade to create an ultra-high-resolution time-lapse record of the universe. Researchers expect it to help detect millions of asteroids and image billions of galaxies as part of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), offering new insights into dark matter, dark energy, and cosmic evolution. #Astronomy# #SpaceTech# #Engineering# #LSST#

Astronomers have detected a thin atmosphere around a tiny celestial body in the outer solar system for the first time — an object previously thought to be too small to support the presence of an atmosphere.

Astronomers using radio telescope observations to get an inside look at an interstellar comet have gleaned new insights into when and where the celestial object formed.

Amid her astronomical rise, @gracieabrams is staying true to what has gotten her this far: her honest way with words, and the fans who deeply relate to them. 💫💜 She opens up about working with "badass women" and more in her Billboard cover story:

Guy Consolmagno - The Pope's Astronomer: "UFO's are becoming a substitute for religion" 👽🛸😱 He links it to fear of being alone in the universe. He’s skeptical of claims but open to aliens deepening our faith. Is the belief in UFO's & Aliens the new secular religion?

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson decide to go on a camping trip. After dinner and a bottle of wine, they lie down and go to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes up and nudges his faithful friend. “Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.” Watson replies, “I see millions of stars.” “And what does that tell you?” Watson thinks for a moment. “Astronomically, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Chronologically, I deduce it’s about a quarter past three. Theologically, I see that God is all powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect we’ll have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you, Holmes?” Holmes is silent for a moment, then says: “Watson… you idiot. Someone has stolen our tent.”

Autonomy will create the world we want It covers all transportation needs with fewer cars, since they won't sit idle for most of the day anymore Instead, cities will be greener & liveable

Unveiled the future of autonomy at our We, Robot event With 19 Cybercabs & 29 Model Ys – all fully autonomous – transporting >2,000 guests & completing 1,300 trips total = Continuous operation of >3.5 hours 🤖
