Thanks for joining us at Goddard!

New images of the universe, in wavelengths from X-rays to infrared light by r-nasa-mods in nasa

[–]nasa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From our original post on /u/NASA:

These images bring together data from telescopes that observe our universe across the electromagnetic spectrum:

- NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory
- ESA's XMM-Newton (X-ray)
- NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (optical light)
- The European Southern Observatory's New Technology Telescope (optical light)
- NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (infrared)
- NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope (infrared)

with non-optical frequencies mapped to colors that humans can perceive—making their discoveries visible to the unaided eye.

See the photo captions for details on what each color represents in each image—and learn more about these cosmic sights on nasa.gov!

Agreed that the Speakers Bureau would be a great place to start here (and for any similar requests). Thanks for sharing!

Chile's Laguna San Rafael National Park, as seen from the International Space Station by r-nasa-mods in nasa

[–]nasa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From our original /u/NASA post:

Laguna San Rafael National Park is known for its many rivers and one of Northern Patagonia’s largest glaciers—as seen in this photo, taken from 268 miles (431 km) up by NASA astronaut Warren "Woody" Hoburg on May 9, 2023.

Woody joined the astronaut corps in 2017 and launched into space for the first time on March 2, 2023, as the pilot of NASA's SpaceX Crew-6 mission.

Icy geysers erupt from the surface of Saturn's moon Enceladus by nasa in u/nasa

You're very welcome! 🚀

There aren't any plans to send rovers to Enceladus in the near future, but the scientific community has discussed a potential mission to study Enceladus's plumes (both from orbit and on the surface) in their latest decadal survey. It's a little technical but there's a lot of info available.

You might also be interested in learning more about Europa Clipper, which will study potential conditions for life on (and within) a similarly-icy moon. It's set to lift off in October 2024.

From our original /u/NASA post:

Though Enceladus has a frozen exterior, it's believed to hold a vast ocean beneath—the source of the ice and vapor seen spewing from these geysers.

NASA's Cassini mission captured this close-up on Nov. 21, 2009, as the spacecraft flew over Enceladus's south pole. This image was also one of several featured on our Solar System and Beyond poster set; download your free copy on nasa.gov!
