Check out the bright waves, swirls, and vortices in Jupiter’s atmosphere — as well as the dark ring system, one million times fainter than the planet! Two moons of Jupiter, including one that’s only about 12 miles (20 km) across, are on the left.

1. Make way for the king of the solar system! 👑 New Webb images of Jupiter highlight the planet's features, including its turbulent Great Red Spot (shown in white here), in amazing detail. These images were processed by citizen scientist Judy Schmidt: go.nasa.gov/3K9zMqC

Webb’s first full-color images are now the world’s to enjoy! We hope you found them as meaningful and beautiful as we did. Here’s to many years of Webb science — we can’t wait to see what’s next as we continue to #UnfoldtheUniverse! go.nasa.gov/3ccf2lf

The supermassive #BlackHole at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy, Sagittarius A*, has been imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). Chandra and many other telescopes observed Sagittarius A* simultaneously. Explore Sagittarius A* like never before: s.si.edu/OurSMBH ⚫

Happy #FossilFriday and a very Merycochoerus/Merychyus/Merycoidodon to you! Mery means "ruminant like" in latin so the majority of oreodont names are repetitive and also extremely seasonally appropriate! #Fossils #Paleontology #Science #Geology #Oligocene #Cenozoic #Oreodont

(1/3) UPDATE: We are so excited to announce that the UCLA Planetarium will be resuming IN-PERSON shows starting NEXT WEDNESDAY 11/10 @ 7PM! We will be following UCLA & LA County COVID Protocols -
