Is gravity the only thing keeping you together? Then you might be a globular cluster.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ NASAHubble captured this globular cluster, a tightly bound group of stars held together by gravity. Clusters like this one, located in the constellation Sagittarius, can contain millions of stars, many of them nearly as old as the universe. The Hubble Space Telescope revolutionized how we study these star clusters, and NASAWebb will use its infrared vision to look deep into their interiors so we can better understand these relics of cosmic history.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Credits: ESA/Hubble & NASA, R.

More stars are concentrated toward the middle where it's brighter.⁣ ⁣⁣ #Stars #Clusters #Space #Universe #KeepingItTogether #OneStarAtATime #NASA

ISRO has ended its live webcast of the SSLV test flight without confirming the result of the mission. ISRO's chairman said a few minutes ago teams were analyzing a loss of data from the rocket during the fourth stage burn. https://t.co/StbmIVyh5O

The chairman of India's space agency says engineers are analyzing "data losses" around the time of the fourth stage burn on the SSLV test launch. The launch team is trying to determine whether the rocket achieved a stable orbit. https://t.co/StbmIVyh5O

The SSLV's third stage has completed its burn. The mission is now in a three-minute coast phase before ignition of the rocket's liquid-fueled trimming module for the final orbit injection maneuver. https://t.co/StbmIVyh5O https://t.co/OuU9iihl16

India’s new rocket, the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle, is set to lift off on its first test flight at 11:48pm EDT (0348 GMT). The three-stage, low-cost launcher is designed to carry payloads of up to a half-ton into low Earth orbit. Watch live: https://t.co/StbmIVyh5O https://t.co/65WEJtTqTy

ISRO confirms burnout and jettison of the rocket's SS1 first stage motor after consuming 87 metric tons of solid propellant. The solid-fueled second stage is now firing. And payload fairing jettison is confirmed. https://t.co/StbmIVyh5O https://t.co/AQCNWasxoB

ISRO reports the third stage of the SSLV separated and the trimming module, or kick stage, ignited. We're awaiting an announcement of the outcome of the mission. https://t.co/StbmIVyh5O
