Infrared studies of the center of our galaxy reveal stars & newfound gas blobs racing around the hidden central object. That makes it possible to measure the mass & location of the supermassive black hole behind it all.https://www.aanda.org/component/article?access=doi&doi=10.1051/0004-6361/202555808 #space #science #nature #astronomy

️ 'Miracle': Europe reconnects with lost spacecraft ｢ The lost spacecraft had been "tumbling" when an ESA team in Spain "saw that some sunlight is actually hitting the solar panels," Aschbacher explained.They seized the chance, using this small amount of power to re-establish a connection.The spacecraft's solar panel is now facing the sun, allowing it to charge its batteries ｣https://phys.org/news/2026-03-miracle-europe-reconnects-lost-spacecraft.html#science #space #esa

If we're to find extraterrestrial life in the universe, astronomers have pinpointed the best places to look.They have identified just under 50 rocky worlds most likely to be habitable out of the more than 6,000 exoplanets discovered so far.Their research, published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, would be useful in a scenario portrayed in the newly released Hollywood blockbuster Project Hail Mary.

@yatil I've been eyeing that one too!

The image was taken with the MUSE instrument at the VLT, which captures a spectrum at every single point within its field of view. In other words: it can image extended regions at thousands of different colours or wavelengths simultaneously, allowing astronomers to map the composition and motion of these regions in great detail.Read more: https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw2612a/2/2

MESSENGER Spacecraft2004 - 2015MESSENGER was a NASA robotic space probe that orbited the planet Mercury between 2011 and 2015, studying Mercury's chemical composition, geology, and magnetic field.MESSENGER (Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging) was the first spacecraft to orbit Mercury. Among its accomplishments, the mission determined Mercury’s surface composition, revealed its geological history, discovered details about its internal magnetic field, and verified its polar deposits are dominantly water-ice. The mission ended when MESSENGER slammed into Mercury’s surface>> You might like to join MESSENGER on its orbit with this interactive 3D API:https://eyes.nasa.gov/apps/solar-system/#/sc_messenger?embed=trueCREDITNASA's MESSENGER spacecraftNASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Carnegie Institution of Washington#space #earth #mercury #messenger #astrophotography #photography #NASA #science #physics #nature #education

Sentinel-1 satellites carry radar instruments to provide an all-weather, day-and-night supply of imagery of Earth’s surface, making it ideal to monitor ship traffic. Here, more than 50 radar images over the same area, acquired every six days throughout 2025, have been compressed into a single image.

#3iatlas just entered the Jupiter hill zone (optimal orbital insertion)57 anomalies.If the object goes dark it was just a weird #comet, if it provides further anomalies, it's a machine.Data shenanigans:The CIA classified it. NASA blinded TESS during the opposition window. JPL filtered 90% of the trajectory data. The CNEOS database was edited within 24 hours of a challenging paper. Three papers were blocked by the same journal editor using the same template. Reddit posts were silently removed across multiple subreddits.Amateur astronomers offer better images than space agencies.Hardware:The Space Force scrambled the STP-S30 mission five months ahead of schedule, deploying sensor platforms into orbit 24 hours before 3I made its closest approach to Earth. The Navy ran Silent Swarm 25 in July 2025, stress-testing expendable autonomous platforms designed to operate in a denied electromagnetic environment. The same month 3I was identified. The Secretary of Defense spent three weeks touring every company building every component of a unified space interception grid: $25 billion for Golden Dome, tracking satellites rushed three months ahead of schedule, anti-jamming communications designed to fight through electromagnetic disruption. At the final stop he told reporters the #disclosure Pentagon is preparing UFO disclosure. Blue Origin grounded New Shepard and redirected its entire operation toward a 2028 lunar deadline that NASA’s administrator personally guaranteed.And China repurposed a Mars orbiter on short notice because whatever this thing is, it was worth completely rethinking a planetary mission to get a better look.Looks like a whole bunch of people know what this object is.
