Latest NuSTAR News article on the early X-ray observations from the SN 2023ixf. nustar.caltech.edu/news/nustar240…

Remind that the NuSTAR deadline is 4:30 PM EST on Thursday (tomorrow!). Which is middle of the afternoon for the West Coasters.

Caution! ⚠️ X-rays. Tomorrow is the deadline for @NuSTAR_Science observation proposals, for which hundreds of us are trying to convince our peers that each has the most interesting object for NuSTAR to turn her eyes to! #lifeinacademia

If you’re feeling a little sluggish, #TBT to 2016 when our Swift, NuSTAR, and @chandraxray telescopes announced one of the slowest-known pulsars. This stellar core turns once every 6.5 hours — poky compared to the 100s of times a second others can spin! go.nasa.gov/36PuPk0

Our X-ray telescopes usually focus on the universe outside the @NASASolarSystem, but sometimes they make discoveries within it! NuSTAR recently observed the highest-energy light ever detected from Jupiter and helped solve a decades-old mystery: go.nasa.gov/3RwdkL7

@TheBrianGref is giving a talk on NuSTAR tonight (in about 20 minutes) to the @nightskynetwork. Follow along here: youtu.be/b33EcK67Fx0

(NEW) ATel 15495: NuSTAR follow-up observation of MAXI J0655-013 reveals 1129s pulsations... astronomerstelegram.org/?read=15495

The PI of NuSTAR joined the Small Steps, Giant Leaps podcast to celebrated #NuSTARX!

Finally -- thank you to everyone who attended #NuSTARX. The future of @NuSTAR_Science is bright, and the past ten years have been full of exciting science. From the students giving their first talks to the folks who've been with NuSTAR since the start, you make NuSTAR a success!

My name is Murray Brightman, I am an astrophysicist living in Los Angeles and working at Caltech, but originally from Scotland. I’ll sign my posts /MB

And finally for the evening Twitter folks. And stop by NASA booths at #AAS240 for your poster (if there are any more)

Launched from a rocket strapped to the belly of an aircraft on June 13, 2012, @NASA's #NuSTAR mission is celebrating 10 years in space! The mission has made discoveries about black holes, supernova remnants, pulsars, our own fiery sun, and more. 🛰️ youtube.com/watch?v=PQIdeS…

For the afternoon crowd

Happy 10 years in space, NASA NuSTAR!🎂😁 Wishing you many more exciting discoveries as we explore the X-ray Universe together!🎉 #XRaysAreTheBestRays More at: go.nasa.gov/3Qv0Fbk

By the way, @Caltech news item celebrating 10 years of NuSTAR is also live! pma.caltech.edu/news/nustar-ce…

This week we’re celebrating 10 years of NuSTAR in space! Follow along for a recap of the X-ray space telescope’s most exciting discoveries.

In 2014, astronomers used NuSTAR to discover a pulsating, dead star beaming with the energy of 10 million Suns. This is one of NuSTAR’s most astonishing discoveries because the these ultraluminous X-ray sources were previously thought to be black holes: go.nasa.gov/3xNZNqE
