Y'ALL. Check out this stunning new 3D visualization of the breathtaking Carina Nebula 🤩 I will be forever grateful that I'm the lucky human who got to reveal this image to the world in 2022. It made me cry when I first saw it. The universe is beautiful; take it in❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFaZ...

Almost every point of light here is an individual galaxy filled with hundreds of billions of stars. Now: stretch out your arm. You can cover this patch of sky w/ your pinky finger. The universe is incredible, and it's astounding that we can see it in this way ✨ #jwst esawebb.org/images/potm2...

It’s budget season at nasa, and I have a bunch of budget stuff written on my whiteboard in my office (rather than science stuff like should be there). I had a dream the other night that someone had erased it and drawn a beautiful outdoor landscape. That’s some deep metaphorical dreaming, huh? 😩💀🌲⛰️

Took a little walk over to the giant #nasa Goddard cleanroom yesterday where the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is looking great 😎 It’s assembled and going through testing before its scheduled launch late next year! It will study dark energy, dark matter (ahem @pearljam.com), exoplanets & more!

Today’s mind-bending #JWST image via #apod is showing how mass warps spacetime. The whiteish galaxy in the center is closer than the blue/red rings that surround it - a background spiral galaxy whose light is being warped as it passes around the galaxy in the center 🤯 apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25042...

Best #NASA quote of all time 😂🥔 “It’s not going to be a basic potato” But REALLY this is fantastic! NASA’s Lucy spacecraft will buzz by an asteroid at 30,000mph this weekend on its way to asteroids near Jupiter. More: www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/n...

#icymi - newly reprocessed image of part of the Eagle Nebula from Hubble was released Friday 🤩 This is a giant pillar of gas & dust 9.5 light-years tall. Admittedly those sizes are hard to grasp - but for context, each dot of light is a star similar to our sun. More: science.nasa.gov/missions/hub...

An entire year of Dark Matter. Thank you for streaming, spinning, and singing along the last 365. The magic begins again in just a few days. See you on the road. Watch the full video: pj.lnk.to/WaitingForSt...

Dark Matter is the scaffolding of the universe - it’s what trillions of galaxies are organized on/along. It’s also an INCREDIBLY fantastic @pearljam.com album that was released a year ago today. Although I was lucky enough to hear it a few wks early at The Troubadour 😎 ATL IN TEN DAYS!! #pearljam

I’ve had this little note on the whiteboard on my office door for awhile now. One day at a time friends ❤️ Sending love and light to those who are struggling, for whatever reason

This article I interviewed for popped up today - this is still true of #JWST! “There were huge expectations on the telescope...And yes, it is living up to those expectations. Actually, the telescope is performing better ... than we had planned or hoped for.” www.dazeddigital.com/life-culture...

I feel like I say this every couple weeks, but...times are strange and I haven't been on social media much. I still have my job (thankfully, for now) and while things are tough I'm trying to stay grounded & joyful. Not always easy. But here's a stunning new #jwst image...enjoy ❤️✨

WHEEEW Y'ALL, IT'S BEEN A WEEK 😵‍💫 Here's a beautiful image of a compact galaxy group to boost you into the weekend, courtesy of #apod ✨ This galaxy group is ~100 million light years away; their light left the galaxies when the dinosaurs still roamed the Earth. More: apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25040...

Just incredible. Brand new images from ESA's Euclid mission reveal 26 million galaxies across 3 fields in a preview data release. The entire data release will help us better understand dark energy - the accelerated expansion of the universe ✨ Read more: www.nasa.gov/missions/euc...

Hi friends - it’s been awhile since I’ve posted…been mostly off social media the last few weeks. Not gonna lie - things are tough right now. But we’re here at #sxsw and the #nasa house is PACKED! Forever grateful for the work I get to do and the opportunity to share it with the world ✨🚀

@eitmonline.bsky.social people CAMP OUT for DAYS to get first row at Pearl Jam shows. This would NOT go over well (as someone who has spent many days in such lines)
