There is a massive black hole in the center of almost every galaxy. How did it get there, and importantly, how does it grow?

TODAY at 7 p.m. ET, we'll discuss what new #NASAWebb data is driving the biggest tensions in our understanding of the black hole phenomenon.

#JWST image of Messier 77 ✨

M77, also known as the Squid Galaxy, is a barred spiral galaxy more than 45 million light-years away, invisible to the naked eye.

Its bright centre is an active galactic nucleus, an intensely energetic region created as gravity pulls gas towards a central supermassive black hole.

The 6 bright lines (+ 2vertical rays) are diffraction spikes: visual artefacts created by Webb’s hexagonal mirrors & telescope design.

Black holes galore! That’s what astronomers discovered when #NASAWebb peered into the distant cosmos. These smaller, fainter black holes are more similar to the one in our own galaxy. With Webb, scientists can study the black hole-galaxy relationship over time.

🐾 An image of the Cat's Paw Nebula by #NASAWebb in near-infrared light was released this month.

This visualization explores a subset of toe bean-reminiscent structures within a section of the nebula, a massive, local star-forming region located approximately 4,000 light-years away. 🔭 🧪

Let's talk about how We can increase funding for Science programs like:
#NASA, #NASAJPL, #chandraxray

#NASAWebb was 7x oversubscribed by scientists in 2024.

Science needs more funding!

Let's make the USA like Star Trek Again.

Fantastic imagery from the various space telescopes. The latest to celebrate the Chandra X-ray telescope's 25th anniversary.

My favourite has always been M16 (the Eagle Nebula) - first was the image from the Hubble, but every iteration since then has still held fascination for me...

JWST is most in-demand telescope ever - leaving many astronomers in the cold

Reviewers will likely approve only one in every nine research proposals submitted in latest application cycle. #JWSTCycle3

About the #JWSTCycle2 program of observations, there are only 5 proposals selected in the "Large Scale Structure of the Universe" category 👀
Tully+ got the larger time allocation!
Also, looking very much forward this Scrutiny of the Dirtiest Cepheids...

Congratulations to Brent Tully and co-investigators for getting observing time on the JWST!

NIRCam targets: 14 elliptical galaxies to study the connection between TRGB and SBF distance scales and improve the accuracy on the Hubble Constant.

Still one of my favourites… M16 Pillars of Creation - #JWST #MIRI Mid-infared instrument. Loved it so much I made it into a notebook!

Second version because I wasn’t happy with the colors.

Enjoy! And as always I recommend loading in 4k!

Just ordered high quality prints of these excellent photos from #NASAWebb @spacetelescope website that were published to the public domain ❤️

A perfect complement to the photos of the #CarinaNebula and the #moon that are already making my walls so beautiful to look at and marvel at the #universe 🤩

Hooray to #science 🤓 and #PublicDomain copyright rules 🥳

The galaxy was previously observed by #NASA’s #SpitzerSpaceTelescope in 2016, but its instruments are not as powerful and it snapped the stars as blurs in the darkness of space.
