The James Webb Space Telescope has imaged the famed Pillars of Creation in stunning detail! To be honest, the Hubble image looks more colorful and artistic, but the JWST image is a treasure trove of scientific information. You can see the Hubble and JWSP images side by side in this...
The James Webb space telescope is launching this month–one week from now, as of this writing, on Dec 22nd. That’s assuming there is no delay in the launch. For those who do not know, the James Webb is a “game-changer” telescope. Like its predecessor, the famed Hubble Space Telescope, the...

Exciting news in space! NASA has launched the new Mars Rover “Perseverance” and the craft is now safely on its way to Mars. Perseverance, aka “Percy,” will reach Mars in February 2021, and (hopefully) land safely in Jezero Crater. Perseverance is designed very similar to the Curiosity rover, but has...
NASA and SpaceX have successfully launched the first crewed Falcon 9 with astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley to the International Space Station! This is the first time since the retirement of the space shuttle in 2011 that astronauts have been launched from U.S. soil. Until now, NASA has relied...

I know its all over the science news, but I thought I’d post about it too. Here is the first true image of a distant black hole, teased out of a world-spanning network of telescopes called the Event Horizon Telescope. You can read more about it on this article at...
Take a look at these awesome NASA mission posters! These are actually made by NASA and not fans, and they’re slightly corny, which makes them all the better! You can see a lot more of them on this BoredPanda article, or this SpaceFlight101 article. Someone at NASA really put a lot...
