Thanks everyone for finishing Batch #13! We've started uploading a new batch of curated images! Meanwhile, we’ve got *TWO* new publications out! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.384… and iopscience.iop.org/article/10.384…. Thanks again everyone for all your hard work, we can't do this without you!!

As strange as asteroids with tails may sound, they actually exist! Plus, these objects could hold clues to the mystery of how water in our solar system and beyond was formed. Help us spot them with @DoNASAScience’s Active Asteroids project: zooniverse.org/projects/orion…

We’ve got new data! Come find asteroids with comet-tails in our NASA Parter project Active Asteroids on @the_zooniverse, here: zooniverse.org/projects/orion… Thanks everyone for all your help… we couldn’t do it without you!

We just added a new batch of data to our Citizen Science project Active Asteroids, a #NASA Partner (@DoNASAScience). You too can find unusual asteroids that have comet tails… check it out! activeasteroids.net

Dad pointed out there is (was?) a face on Dimorphos! Visible just prior to the #DARTMIssion impact. I see it… just missing a left ear!

👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: nasa.gov/webbfirstimage…

Humanity will reach Mars in your lifetime

Hey everyone! We’ve posted new data to the Active Asteroids project on @the_zooniverse . Here’s a shortcut to the project: activeasteroids.net

Hey everyone! After much follow-up observing we are working on publishing results. Meanwhile we’ve released some more data into the project. Thanks everyone for all your help!!
