if you zoom in on the europa clipper team picture, you can see someone VERY familiar… 🥹
NEW JWST IMAGE OF A SPACE BUTTERFLY!!! 🦋🌌
between the (power) lines… 🌙
that little spot in the middle of this image? that is a baby planet! this is the first clear detection of a baby planet in a disk with multiple rings!!!
guys what if… we land on europa
pretty sure there’s a thing online to check for that
The "spokes" in the rings of Saturn from Voyager 1 on November 13, 1980.
my brain is so mean to me
this is what it’s like to be a grad student
if you need a bit of calm today, here’s the BEAUTIFUL butterfly nebula from hubble 🦋🌌
![A planetary nebula called NGC 6302 or the Butterfly Nebula. A dark dust lane runs through the centre of the nebula and two broad clouds emerge from either side of the dust lane like the outstretched wings of a butterfly. The nebula appears clumpy and nearly opaque, with a few background stars showing through the cloudy material. The nebula appears in different shades of cream, yellow and orange, with the lightest colours appearing closest to the centre. The background of space is black with a handful of stars that are tinged pink.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f3k4iipaz7ara5xvp3p42moe/bafkreidlt2uv4za5ddft7j675zmxvsoyxcqhaqunxw45b5a3aozpzo5pgu@jpeg "Click to view full size")
WAKE UP BABE, NEW JWST IMAGE OF THE CENTER OF THE BUTTERFLY NEBULA!! 🦋🌌
Enjoy this stunning view of the Butterfly Nebula from Hubble. Look at the structure in the vast outflows, especially towards the centre! There, behind a dusty torus that we're looking at edge-on lies a super-hot white dwarf—the remnants of a once much-larger star.
constantly trying to remind myself that every scientist was once in the same position i am and that i’ll end up where i want to be. i DO belong on this incredible mission team and i can’t WAIT for us to get to jupiter in 5 years 🥹
talked about my imposter syndrome to a mentor and was told that i belong on this mission just as much as everyone else and it made me feel so much better 🥹
“he called me every day” like WHATTTTTT
the fact that i’m WORKING with people who knew carl sagan holy SHIT 😭😭
jupiter’s moon europa
i love studying the coolest moon in the solar system!!!!!!!!!!
IF I DONT POST MUCH THIS WEEK ITS CAUSE I’M DOING COOL EUROPA STUFF!!!!
A bit of #Jupiter (NASA / JPL-Caltech / SwRI / MSSS / Gerald Eichstädt / @theseaning.bsky.social)
NASA, ESA, M. Kornmesser and M. Zamani (ESA/Hubble), and A. Riess (STScI/JHU) and the SH0ES team
these side-by-side hubble images show just how powerful a supernova is 💥
have you ever seen a true, unobstructed night sky? 🌌
what do you mean you don’t experience an incredible and intense yearning for the night sky
do yall think that would work
they should make me an ambassador for light pollution, i’ll go across the country and just yell about why we should preserve the sky
this is the sky we’re losing.
FUCK LIGHT POLLUTION!!!! the night sky is UNBELIEVABLY beautiful.
sorry, i know it’s been a while since i’ve given you some space… here, hope this helps 🌌
I TOOK THIS PHOTO ON MY FLIGHT AND IT LOOKS LIKE ITS FROM SPACE
just wanted to say i love you guys so so much thank you for everything you’ve done for me. i’m gonna make you all PROUD 🥹🚀🌌
guys guys guys look at my europa clipper pin it’s sooooooooo cute
also following up on my previous tweets, thank you to everyone who has shared and supported me so far. i really really hate asking for money but it’s just so hard right now. love you guys so much 🩵
headed to oregon for a super secret meeting (europa clipper project science team meeting) ❄️🌌
if you don’t have kind things to say… don’t say them! what a concept!
too long :(
HOPEFULLY WE CAN SEND A MISSION THERE IN MY LIFETIME 🥹
uranus seen by jwst ✨
LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL NEW COMPOSITE IMAGE SHOWING X-RAY AND RADIO LIGHT OF THE “HAND OF GOD” 🌌
i am just in AWE of this image. starlink satellites streaking across the milky way, captured by don pettit
are you guys seeing my posts by chance? they’re getting a LOT less visibility than usual :(
a BEAUTIFUL image of spiral galaxy ngc 1068 that uses combined data from hubble, jwst, AND chandra telescopes!!!! 🌌
did you remember to smile for the group photo? this is the earth and moon seen from 180 million miles away by the psyche spacecraft. we are really so small.
GUYS WHAT SHOULD WE NAME IT
HUUUGE ASTRO NEWS!!! JWST DISCOVERED A NEW MOON AROUND URANUS!! ITS TOTAL IS NOW 29 KNOWN MOONS!!
you’re seeing a volcanic plume on a MOON. jupiter’s moon io is the most volcanically active body in the ENTIRE solar system. VOLCANOES ON MOONS!!! 🌋🌕
AND THAT’S ON PERIODIC TABLE!!!
nvm guys i locked in and realized i DO belong here and WILL be called DR. SINGH 🗣️🚀🪐🔭🌌
big time
anxiety really does fuck you up
okay so serious question how do i convince myself that i belong in grad school and it wasn’t a mistake that i got in

HUBBLE RECENTLY TOOK THE SHARPEST CURRENT IMAGE OF THE INTERSTELLAR COMET 3I/ATLAS!!! ☄️
PINK SPACE PICTURESSSSS 💗🌌
if i won the lottery, i wouldn’t tell anyone but there would be signs (this painting would be mine)
just kidding i’ll do it without any drinks
give me a few drinks and i’ll start ranting about how shitty light pollution is
having a cat look at you like this makes life worth living actually
there’s a lot of shit going on this planet, but at the end of the day just remember this
nvm the sky did this
ASSUMING ITS NOT CLOUDY!!!!
GONNA TRY AND SEE MY FIRST METEOR SHOWER TONIGHT!!!! 🥹☄️
this is actually one of the hubble images of all time
THIS PHOTO WAS NOT TAKEN WHILE DRIVING
almost crashed my car because i got distracted by her
looking at the milky way for the first time is such an emotional experience, you just can’t describe it to someone
me: what’s that weird looking cloud? the cloud in question:
i love you hubble
you are stardust… ✨
like i know i’m not carl sagan, BUT…
i wonder if i’ll be remembered as someone who made a bit of a difference in the astronomy community 🥺
TODAY’S NEW HUBBLE IMAGE OF THE GORGEOUS TARANTULA NEBULA!!!
Carl Sagan: We’re all stardust Evil Carl Sagan: We’ll all be stardust
OMG
i actually get so sad when we lose an apollo astronaut, they’ve done so much for the space community.
everyone watch apollo 13 today in honor of jim lovell!!!!
what a sad day for the space community
rest amongst the stars, jim lovell 🚀✨
just in case you forgot
you’re in his dms, i’m in his phd dissertation acknowledgements
i don’t care what anyone says, it takes a VILLAGE to get through grad school. find your people and keep them close.
i genuinely believe that looking through a telescope is life changing and that everyone should experience it at least once in their lives
3 GALAXIES CAPTURED FROM ORBIT!!! YOU CAN SEE THE MILKY WAY AND BOTH MAGELLANIC CLOUDS!! 🌌🌌 yet ANOTHER banger from astronaut don pettit
you know hubble’s iconic ultra deep field image? well, jwst looked at the same region and i’m SPEECHLESS. LOOK AT ALL OF THE GALAXIES!!! 🥹🌌
The night will be shining through a million eyes. Ad Astra ✨
this is STUNNNNNING!!!! THE AURORA WITH ANDROMEDA IN THE BACKGROUND FROM ORBIT?? HOW IS THIS A REAL PICTURE!!! 📸: don pettit
grad school sure as hell isn’t easy but man do i wanna be called “doctor” one day
WAKE UP BABE, NEW JWST IMAGE DROPPED!!!!!!
science: NASA, ESA, CXC, Yi-Chi Chang (National Tsing Hua University); image processing: Joseph DePasquale (STScI)
intermediate black holes are rare and harder to find than supermassive black holes, so this is a crazy discovery!
HUBBLE AND CHANDRA SAW AN INTERMEDIATE-MASS BLACK HOLE EATING A STAR 450 MILLION LIGHT-YEARS AWAY!!!
i wanna be under skies like these forever
oh 🥹🥹🥹
quickest way to my heart
should dark sky laws be put into place everywhere? 🌌
like if you get it
