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. 🔭 🧪

#Kamala2024

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
