• 0.03% Water vapor (variable)
Stunning pic of our Moon. The blue areas are titanium-rich, while brown is predominantly feldspar and iron.

Views around Saturn 🪐 captured by the Cassini spacecraft. Enceladus geysers, Titan, Saturn's polar vortex.
The Starry Night (1889) and recent close ups of Jupiter (2018) ✨
White dwarf star at the center of the Helix Nebula.
These stars ✨ contain about as much material as the sun, but gravity squeezes them down to the size of Earth. A teaspoon of white dwarf material would weigh about 15 tons!
A quarter century of amazing discoveries from Hubble!
↖️ Horse Head Nebula
↗️ Tarantula Nebula
↙️ Medusa Nebula
↘️ Cat's Paw Nebula
The precision and stability required for Hubble to capture these while orbiting at 27,000 km/hour (17,000 mph) is astonishing
Earlier this month, NASA announced that the @NASAHubble and the Gemini telescope are teaming up with the Juno spacecraft to help scientists get a better look at Jupiter! Can't wait for more of these:
