⏪ Back in time. Like time machines, deep fields let us see back to the early universe. Because the light we see here took billions of years to reach us, we see these galaxies as they were billions of years ago. #DeepFieldWeek https://t.co/IfdBXeNdGP

The #MarsHelicopter’s images of “Raised Ridges” raise the bar on aerial reconnaissance of the Red Planet. Mars rover scientist Kevin Hand sees great things in the rotorcraft’s latest color snaps – 3D data that'll help the mission determine future drives. https://t.co/xwfrObz2Hi https://t.co/K4T9HYIq7p

🌟Some exploding stars are hidden. @NASA's infrared Spitzer Space Telescope found 5 supernovae buried in dusty galaxies, which block optical light (the kind human eyes can see). The finding gives astronomers a better idea of how often these blasts occur. https://t.co/kC4VlWbkpl https://t.co/Y029JJjCJq

A beautiful @Space_Station pass over the Southwestern United States on a clear day. I spotted at least 5 #NationalParks in as many minutes, starting with @JoshuaTreeNPS. Love the namesake trees, along with plenty of other interesting desert flora and fauna! #FindYourPark https://t.co/7bEzd0rnw9
