INBOX ASTRONOMY NASA's Webb Captures Neptune's Auroras For First Time Release date: Wednesday, March 26, 2025 6:00:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time Long-sought auroral glow finally emerges under Webb’s powerful gaze. Neptune lies in the frigid, dark, vast frontier of the outer edges of our solar system about 3 billion miles away from the Sun. It’s only been visited once by a spacecraft back in 1989, and since then, observatories like NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have tracked the pl ...Continue Reading

INBOX ASTRONOMY NASA's Webb Telescope Unmasks True Nature of the Cosmic Tornado  Release date: Monday, March 24, 2025 10:00:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time Webb’s exquisite details reveal a chance, random alignment of a protostellar outflow and a distant spiral galaxy. When peering out into space, we get a 2D view of a 3D universe. Sometimes, images will capture objects that appear close to each other on the sky, but are actually at wildly different distances and are unassociat ...Continue Reading
