  • Uncovering a Central Mystery: Supernova 1987A

    A two-panel image of a supernova remnant. The left panel is labeled “Near-infrared” while the right panel is labeled “Mid-infrared.” At left, a mottled light pinkish-orange oval whose inner edge resembles a string of pearls. Within the oval is a dense blue-green cloud, shaped like a keyhole. Three stars with six-point diffraction patterns surround the oval. The center of the supernova remnant is surrounded by a white box with lines leading to the panel on the right, which shows a bright orange ring with an orange dot in the middle. Text at bottom reads “The observations show a central spot of high-energy emission, the first piece of direct evidence for a neutron star within Supernova 1987A.” Title text in the lower left reads “Uncovering a Central Mystery: Supernova 1987A.”
  • Did You Know: Advancements in Space-based Astronomy

    Image of a person placing a plate on telescope hardware takes up the majority of the screen. Text underneath the photo reads “Installing a detector cover on the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.” Text at right reads “Did you know? Astronomy and space telescope technology advance together. Looking further into the future, how will new insights influence astronomy research priorities and shape the design of space-based telescopes?”
  • Did You Know: How Images Are Made

    Colorful boxes organized in three columns that show images of galaxy M74 as observed by the James Webb Space Telescope, Hubble Space Telescope, and Chandra X-ray Observatory take up the majority of the screen. Text is placed underneath each column, from left to right: “Webb (infrared),” “Hubble (visible),” and “Chandra (X-ray).” Text at right reads “Did you know? Telescope data undergo various steps to result in the colorful images we’re familiar with. By merging the telescope’s images captured through various filters of the same target, a full-color version emerges.”
  • Did You Know: Diffraction Sp­­ikes

    A cropped image of Herbig-Haro 46/47 takes up the majority of the screen. A large, blue-white star with eight diffraction spikes is in the center of the frame, against the dark background of space. Smaller blue-white and yellow points of light, and a red blob-like object, surround the large star. Text at right reads “Did you know? The spikes around bright stars result from certain telescope designs.”
  • Shedding Light on the Universe: The Euclid Space Telescope

    Artist concept of two spacecraft: ESA’s Euclid space telescope is on the left, and NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is on the right. The two telescopes lie symmetrically against a dark purple swath of space, which contains stars, galaxies, and vein-like wisps. A bright purple vertical line is in the center of the image. Text at the bottom reads “A collaborative aspect is intentionally embedded in the mission’s design.”
  • The James Webb Space Telescope: First Images

    Image of a portion of the Carina Nebula as seen by the James Webb Space Telescope. A gray box in the top left corner has text that reads ""Cosmic Cliffs" in the Carina Nebula, near-infrared." Text at bottom reads "A new era of astronomy has begun."
  • In Focus for the First Time: Sagittarius A*

    Image of Sagittarius A star. A gray box in the bottom left corner has text that reads "In Focus for the First Time: Sagittarius A*." Text at top reads "The result is the first image of the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, called Sagittarius A* (pronounced A-star)."
  • First Evidence for a Planet in Another Galaxy

    Artist's concept of a planet orbiting a star. A gray box in the bottom left corner has text that reads "First Evidence for a Planet in Another Galaxy." Text at top reads "The most likely cause is a Saturn-sized planet passing in front of the X-ray source as it orbits."
  • Astro Snack: Black Holes

    Against a blue background is an artist’s concept of a ball of rice. Text above and below the rice reads “Hi, I’m Mochi.”
  • Astro Snack: Galaxies

    Against a blue background are artist’s concepts of a large pizza toward the center left and a small salad toward the bottom right. Text appears at top.
  • Celestial Tour: Orion's Fire

    Image of a portion of the Orion Nebula. Text in the center reads "Orion's Fire."
  • Infrared: Seeing More

    Image of a portion of space as seen in infrared light. Text at top reads "Beyond the visible light our eyes can detect, there is even more to see."
  • Theme: Shadows

    Image of the 2017 solar eclipse. Text appears in the top and bottom right corners.
  • What in the Universe: The Bat Shadow HBC 672 

    At left is an image of the Serpens Nebula as observed by the Hubble Space Telescope. The image has two white lines forming an "X" toward its top right corner. At top right is text that reads "Shadows of a Circumstellar Disk, Serpens Nebula, Milky Way Galaxy." Just below is an artist's concept of a shadow cast by a circumstellar disk. More text appears below.
  • At a Glance: Transits

    Artist's concept of a star overlaid with a transit path. Text toward the bottom reads "Transits can reveal characteristics of the transiting body that are otherwise difficult to observe."
  • Celestial Tour: Dark Constellations

    Painting of the night sky. Text in the top left corner reads "Painting of the Inca view of the night sky, Cusco, Peru." Text at bottom reads "For the Incas, the band of the Milky Way was the celestial river, Mayu, the source of Earth's water."
  • Celestial Tour: Coronagraph

    Top half portion shows a diagram of a coronagraph with labels. Text appears in the lower half.
  • In a Different Light: The Eagle Nebula

    Framed image of the Eagle Nebula. Text at top reads "In a Different Light, The Eagle Nebula." Text appears at the bottom of the image.
  • Did You Know: Dark Matter

    At left is an image of a field of galaxies with graphic overlays highlighting areas where the light is distorted. In the top right corner is the "Did You Know?" logo. Just below is a yellow box with text that reads "Dark matter does not cast shadows." More text appears below.
  • Celestial Tour: Shadow of the Moon

    Image of Earth against the black background of space. Text at left reads "The warped fabric of space that Einstein described is revealed by the shadow of the Moon."
