Astronomers have detected an unusual radio signal from a far-off galaxy, according to Massachusetts Institute of Technology officials. ✨

The signal is a fast radio burst, an intensely strong burst of radio waves, MIT said in a statement. https://t.co/hfaAtbFcwi

Today at 12.30pm

Watch live as our mega Moon rocket launches an uncrewed Orion spacecraft on a six-week mission around the Moon and back to Earth.

During #Artemis I, Orion will lift off aboard the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, and travel 280,000 miles (450,000 km) from Earth and 40,000 miles (64,000 km) beyond the far side of the Moon, carrying science and technology payloads to expand our understanding of lunar science, technology developments, and deep space radiation.

Liftoff from Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida is currently targeted for 8:33 a.m. EDT (12:33 UTC) Monday, Aug. 29, at the start of a two-hour launch window.

Through Artemis missions, NASA will land the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon, paving the way for a long-term lunar presence and serving as a steppingstone to send astronauts to Mars. We are going.

Amazing the differences in quality from the previous, very cool picture.

This is massive news

We’ve selected 16 individuals to participate in an independent study team on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), or observations in the sky that cannot be identified as aircraft or known natural phenomena. The nine-month study will begin on Oct. 24: https://t.co/RsVP4kggwd pic.twitter.com/OQ5XecW0Ai

Incredible

Recognize the Pillars of Creation? Webb’s near-infrared and mid-infrared images of this super star-forming region were fused to highlight new details: https://t.co/vkzCNOvnDO pic.twitter.com/zcWEGbJQNf

Orion just splashed down. Humans can do amazing things when they put their minds to it.

A whole new world!

41 light-years away is the small, rocky planet LHS 475 b. At 99% of Earth’s diameter, it’s almost exactly the same size as our home world. This marks the first time researchers have used Webb to confirm an exoplanet. https://t.co/hX8UGXplq2 #AAS241 pic.twitter.com/SDhuZRfcko

Just finished my first year of two doing the planetary science postgrad course. A real eye opener, fascinating, but hard work at my age working full time too.

Lots of missions ongoing and starting.

The Webb telescope has detected carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18 b, a potentially habitable world over 8 times bigger than Earth. Webb’s data suggests the planet might be covered in ocean, with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere: https://t.co/qN1SqCfFt1 pic.twitter.com/yoXF3flsUl
