Where, oh where is Webb right now? 🔍 @NASAWebb is on a million-mile journey to its L2 orbit, where it will #UnfoldTheUniverse. Stay up to date with our data-driven infographic. Note: Deployments are managed by ground teams, so timings can change: https://t.co/kbzsimf5tw https://t.co/Rw9xAkxMRc

James Webb Space Telescope successfully deploys antenna

Night sky using iPhone camera. Can someone help identify stars(other than Orion)

This is what spacecraft reentry looks like. A U.S. Air Force ALOTS (Airborne Lightweight Optical Tracking System) camera mounted on a KC-135A aircraft flown at 40,000 ft altitude captured this photo of Apollo 8 reentering Earth's atmosphere on this day in 1968. https://t.co/beCZUP1HPu

The James Webb Space Telescope fired its rocket thrusters for the first time late Saturday to line up for course toward an observing post nearly a million miles from Earth. https://t.co/xRL3GCXkyH https://t.co/NiY6HAXnun

#OTD in 1968, the crew of Apollo 8 returned safely to Earth, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean. This photograph of their reentry was taken by a U.S. Air Force ALOTS (Airborne Lightweight Optical Tracking System) camera mounted on a KC-135A aircraft flown at 40,000 ft altitude. https://t.co/pTF9IKX3vI

In 2021, our @NASAPersevere Mars rover landed and our Ingenuity helicopter took flight. Two asteroid missions launched to the skies, and another began its journey home to Earth. A look back at highlights for our #NASAScience planetary missions: https://t.co/PZYMjxlBHs https://t.co/7WYeF00SQA

#OTD in 1984, Mars meteorite ALH84001 was found in Antarctica. A little over a decade later, in 1996, it caused a flurry of speculation over past life on Mars after some scientists believed it may have contained evidence: https://t.co/4OJIKCxAbq https://t.co/1JHswSTwt2

NASA says the high-gain Ka-band antenna on the James Webb Space Telescope, seen here before launch, was released and tested Sunday. The antenna will beam science data back to Earth once Webb begins observing the universe. Read more: https://t.co/xRL3GCXkyH https://t.co/VQDv3xm6Tx

The Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-103) landed #OTD in 1999 at @NASAKennedy following a successful 7-day servicing mission to @NASAHubble. Learn more about the third servicing mission: https://t.co/jOtNeq7fXe https://t.co/bD79cDIzfu

From chiles to robots to disease research, it’s been an exciting year of science aboard the @Space_Station! Check out some of the highlights: https://t.co/c2IwoD8sxb https://t.co/0gkNf0148L
