The Sun emitted two strong solar flares, peaking at 9:41 p.m. ET on May 7, 2024, and 1:09 a.m. ET on May 8, 2024. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured images of the events, which were both classified as X1.0.

Our TESS spacecraft science resumed operations May 3 and is once again making observations. The satellite went into safe mode April 23 following a separate period of down time earlier that month. More:

We're in our prime! #OTD 79 years ago (get it, 79 is prime 😉) NACA established Wallops Flight Facility as a site for aeronautic research. Since its first rocket launch on June 27, 1945, Wallops has grown from a small test range to helping explore our solar system and beyond.

If this “.” were a black hole, it would have about the mass of Jupiter’s moon Ganymede crammed inside its tiny event horizon! That’s a lot of stuff tightly packed inside a small space. #BlackHoleWeek

This #BlackHoleWeek , we're pulled in by the farthest active supermassive black hole ever spotted. Webb's image shows the black hole's host: GN-z11, a galaxy that existed when our 13.8 billion-year-old universe was only about 430 million years old. More:

This new @NASAHubble image really pulled us in! NGC 4951 has an active galactic nucleus at its center, powered by a supermassive black hole. Hubble helped prove that supermassive black holes exist at the core of almost every galaxy. #BlackHoleWeek

I'm looking out...'cause I've got mirrors 🎶 Check out what Webb's current observation targets are, where you can find them in the sky, and who's behind the research — all in one place: Is science that sweet? We guess so!

Getting the first feeling of summer temps? That reminds us of when @NASASun 's Parker Solar Probe “touched” the Sun! In Dec. 2021, Parker flew through the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona – sampling particles & magnetic fields. This was the first time a spacecraft had done so!
