#PPOD: Saturn is seen here through the lens of NASA's Cassini spacecraft during a ring plane crossing in February 2005. The picture reveals the razor-thin ring plane in blue, atmospheric bands in gold, and moons Dione and Enceladus as slight "bumps" in the rings. 🧪 🔭

I will never get tired of watching meteorites blast new craters on the Moon.
This likely lunar impact flash appeared today. Like a space firefly. 🧪

For the first time, scientists have documented an unusual defense: Some species of arachnids build giant doppelgängers on their webs, creating a frightening deception that scares off would-be killers. https://scim.ag/487Myn0

WE ARE BACK!! And the Roman telescope is looking *GREAT* as we continue to prep it for launch here at @nasagoddard 🚀✨ Roman is designed to unravel the mysteries of the dark universe - dark matter & dark energy - as well as finding tens of thousands of new planets outside our solar system.

Night sky light is usually so distant you can only glimpse it, long for it. Sometimes, though, it it brushes close enough to feel.

WHY sturgeon gotta be like that???
[wait for it]
North America’s largest freshwater fish (White Sturgeon) is obviously jealous of the second largest (Alligator Gar) with its armored scales, teeth, poisonous eggs, air-breathing…but I suppose barbels are cool? 😅

hung out with some beetle people, mentioned fairy shrimp, and they mentioned a specialist ground beetle which is a fairy shrimp predator. how can you know that much of the story and then not know the best part, which is that the beetles only hunt at night because the shrimp GLOW IN THE DARK

We have upgraded our geomagnetic forecast today (12 November 2025) to the highest intensity level amid an ongoing solar storm.
Current predictions suggest that the activity will result in potentially the largest solar storm to hit our planet in over two decades.
