2 telescopes, 2 views, 1 object. Hubble’s visible-light view of the Crab Nebula supernova remnant traces ejected gas. In infrared light, #NASAWebb reveals the pulsar at the center and more. Learn about the similarities and differences: https://bit.ly/3YMzluS 🔭 🧪

Teams I hate: Texas and UNC. It's been a good #CFB weekend for me.
Peter Herbstreit is now running the show. That's how dull this TCU-UNC match-up is. #cfb #TCUvUNC
Spending a little time outdoors.
Americans Astronomers watching watching US politics Betelgeuse 🤝 “It could happen at any time”
Let's give a shout out to the men & women who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay. Mandemosle un saludo a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. Thank you Ignacio Gomez for letting us use this art
A lil postgame footy with Ben and Trin!
It worked!
This Labor Day weekend as we enjoy barbecues and picnics, let's remember the farm workers who labor so hard to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay

The Duck lost his head! I repeat, the Oregon Duck lost his head. #CFB
When you order grocery delivery and not realize the app says banana bunches, so you order 5 🤦🏻♀️
There's a dude on the Kentucky team whose name is McGowen, and the commentator is pronouncing it in a way that I kept thinking he's saying "McAllen," it city near my hometown in Texas. #CFB
"I don't know much But I know that Texas suuuuucks And that may be All I need to know..." 🏉 Maybe the AP Top 25 Preseason Poll doesn't actually mean anything at all. #TEXvsOSU #CFB
Texas fans 🤝 People from Saint Louis Trying to convince you that Arch is good
AMBER ALERT: #Maryland Emergency. 1-year-old Day-Rene Garris Collins, black female, may be in a 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport SUV with MD tag 8GK3445. Call 911 if you see the car. DO NOT TAKE ACTION.
Not the expensive cat treats!! #catsky
Watching Ben Shelton have to resign a match in the #USOpen because he injured what looks like an AC tendon. Man, he was my choice to win the whole thing. What a joy it was to watch him.
Can the Hubble Space Telescope spy in on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding? 👀 Nope.
It's been 70 years since Emmett Till was lynched by white supremacists. He was 14. After years of pushing for it, the Chicago church where Emmett's mother bravely held his open-casket wake is a national monument. May Emmett and Mamie Till-Mobley's stories never be forgotten.
The new Webb/ALMA image of the Butterfly Nebula looks someone with astigmatism and a migraine is driving drunk on a rainy night without their glasses. 🤪
When I reported for duty at Naval Station Great Lakes, I never imagined that some day a US President would seek to use it as a base for surveillance and enforcement activity on American soil. Our military was not set up to cater to the whims of a would-be American dictator.
What goes “bump” out in space? Why do astronomers care about these fleeting events? Astronomers gathered at STScI to discuss how they can best use the upcoming #NASARoman to advance the study of astronomical objects that change on human time scales. 🔭 🧪 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mg47VByOjgw
Observatories, assemble! Hubble and #NASAWebb combined forces, producing this amazing view of star clusters NGC 460 and NGC 456. Hubble captures glowing, ionized gas in blue, while Webb highlights clumps and delicate filamentary dust in red. Credit: NASA, ESA. 🔭 🧪
The shooter at Annunciation Catholic School used an assault weapon to fire dozens of rounds through the stained glass windows of the school’s church—killing two children and wounding 17 others, including 14 children.
The first sip of a patio bar beer is SO good.
I'm obviously hungry. I thought this was a boiled egg cut in half. 🫠
Technicians recently tested two major deployments for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope: the Deployable Aperture Cover (DAC) and the Solar Array Sun Shield (SASS): go.nasa.gov/41X95PN #NASARoman 🔭 🧪
It's "Harvard scientist" that gets attention. If Avi Loeb was an adjunct professor at El Paso Community College, his crazy would be obvious and NBC News wouldn't be interviewing him.
This is totally what the National Guard signed up for, right?
I honestly thought the Cracker Barrel logo backlash was made up to make the right to look low-class and petty, the way the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle "good jeans" ad backlash was made up to make the left look incessantly frustrating. But no, apparently the Cracker Barrel thing was real...
A new view of the Butterfly Nebula! 🦋 Webb joined forces with ALMA to bring you this unprecedented view into the heart of the nebula – seen here alongside optical & near-infrared images from Hubble. A stellar example of teamwork 👏 Read more 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl... 🔭 🧪
It's gotta be weird playing against Naomi Osaka while wearing a sponsorship logo with her name on it. #USOpen
in normal people analogies, she's a tech CEO while he is selling homemade soaps on Etsy
The #USOpen commentators literally announced the Taylor Swift breaking news in between sets.
My heart breaks into 10,000 pieces once again.
Can we get Carlos Alcaraz a hat or something? Did he lose a bet? #USOpen
All hail Venus Williams, the queen of American tennis. #USOpen
This is just from the first chapter of "Strategic Science Communication" by Besley and Dudo. I've been highlighting AND adding pink notes. Boyfriend says it serves no purpose to highlight the entire book. But my chaotic brain works this way. #BookSky
I don't know what to do with all of this leftover crappy pizza.
What happened to Pizza Hut? We ordered for the first time in a year, and the crust is flat and tasteless. The sauce was putrid. Never ordering that again. 🤢
First Medvedev and now Nishioka. Men are way too emotional. They really shouldn't be in charge of anything if they can't control their meltdowns. #USOpen
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."
Kinda in love with Tiafoe's outfit. #USOpen
Thank you for finally noticing.
Coworker's first day back at work after getting married, one of the older men asked her what her new last name is. She said she's keeping her name, and he responded, "Oh, you're one of those." 🙄
Light from stars bouncing around the thick dust within the Pillars of Creation, shown by #NASAWebb, helps us see the activity within. However, the scattered light and thick dust also prevent us from being able to see distant galaxies behind the pillars: https://bit.ly/4eDPjxW 🔭 🧪
ALASKA #WINE REVIEW: While this blueberry-rhubarb wine is better than most of the other American fruit wines I’ve tasted, it felt like a waste of a wine glass. This could be poured into a paper cup being held in the same hand as a lit cigarette, and it still would do it justice. 🍷
A U.S. Tennis Association spokesman said the photographer was escorted from the court by U.S. Open security and his credential was revoked. #USOpen
"Can it be considered that you are too soft and fragile?"
You really need to stop taking your kids to these places.
So the photographer who walked through Bonzi and Medvedev's #USOpen match gets his press pass pulled, right?
No one is shooting up in front of your kids. Calm down.
Entire match showed what an unsportsmanlike child Medvedev is. #USOpen
I keep that thing on me
Take a look at some of the nebulous gas clouds the James Webb Space Telescope has observed in its three years of science operations. #NASAWebb Credit: NASA/ESA/CSA/STScI. 🔭 🧪
Again:Journalists are not stenographers. We are to get information, report and verify the facts, and then report the reality not the talking point. What Trump is doing in DC and threatening in cities is NOT a crime crack down because he says it is. Don’t regurgitate. Report the truth not propaganda.
Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally: "Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."
“Cora” shares a pic of the raisin process in CAs San Joaquin Valley. Workers spread grapes on sheets of paper to be dried into raisins, earning 34 cents for each sheet. Dirty and poorly paid, the 100° temps made it unbearable and she was sent home by noon. #WeFeedYou
FREE DC.
Dude, eat a Snickers and take a time out.

Baltimore is 60% Black. But you couldn't tell from yesterday's Nate Bargetze comedy show at CFG Arena. As one of the openers said, "Thanks for obviously driving in from somewhere else to be here." 😏
BREAKING: ICE informs Kilmar Abrego Garcia that he may be deported to Uganda, less than 24 hours after being released from federal custody.
The McDonald's Happy Meal toy is currently a mash-up between Hello Kitty and the Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles. I'm about it.

The more we look with #NASAWebb, the more we find! The latest discovery? A tiny new moon orbiting Uranus. It’s just six miles (9.6 kilometers) in diameter: science.nasa.gov/blogs/webb/2... 🔭 🧪
Got to Season 3 of "The Crown" and it's weird for me that Bellatrix Lastrange is playing Margaret.
“A federal judge barred the DeSantis and Trump administrations from bringing new detainees to Alligator Alcatraz and demanded the state close out operations at the immigration detention facility within 60 days”
You know you’re being taken seriously by serious publications when the font they use on their website hurts your eyes. 🫣 Did my headache come from the way the website looks or from Avi Loeb's insane theories? 🔭
Feels like we all know the NWSL is kinda allergic to learning from its own past but also yes, where is the risk analysis from a business point of view even?
To date, Hubble—a school bus–sized telescope—has observed more than 100 million objects, including the Lagoon nebula, a stellar nursery some 4,000 light-years. “It’s a beautiful composition,” STScI's Joe DePasquale says of the Lagoon nebula. “The colors are amazing.” 🔭 🧪
I want to go to this match, but I can't go into D.C. as a mouthy brown girl while the city is under occupation. 😒
If one could harness the amount of energy I expend actively avoiding anything using AI, would it balance out one person's use of AI? #blerg

Put some Vicks on it. It'll be fine.
I grew up in San Diego and now live in Las Vegas. Every word of this meme is true. I’m sick of hearing Trump and MAGA talk sh*t about my family and friends! No human being is illegal!!

"In a galling announcement made in August of 2025, NASA’s acting chief, Sean Duffy, declared the intention to abandon all non-spaceflight and exploration-related activities, defying the agency’s charter. Will anyone act to save the heart of NASA?"
The Webb Space Telescope has spotted a new tiny moon orbiting Uranus. NASA announced the discovery on Tuesday. The moon appears to be just six miles wide.
The FDA warns public not to eat, sell or serve certain Great Value raw frozen shrimp sold at Walmart due to possible contamination a radioactive isotope
Looking for your best "Uranus moon" joke! Don't let me down, internet!
They would be exactly the same, except pink and a couple of dollars more.
A reminder that in this country's 249-year history, women have only had the right to vote for 105 years. Women, don't vote for people who are trying to walk this country back. There's so much to lose.
Why is the Ravens logo on Harbaugh's hat so small? Like, really small. #RavensFlock
Tomato workers in CAs Central Coast are hard at work picking tomatoes. It's a difficult labor intensive job. They must bend over and run around with 20Ib buckets all day. "Juan" shares he has back problems from the work, but it puts food on his families table. #WeFeedYou

Oh good, I was wondering what to do with my Reds and Giants nacho helmets, and my Red Sox popcorn helmet. Guess I can use all of those ice cream helmets as cups. 🤔
Watermelon tastes amazing this summer. It was 92° when these Kern County farm workers were harvesting the melons this day. An average melon weighs 20 lbs. Workers toss them to each other as they put them in the trailer. #WeFeedYou
This is literally the most I've ever seen Putin's face move. I didn't know it was even possible.
And people whose cats are demanding a way-too-early breakfast.
I literally Googled "When did Prince Philip stop being a bad husband?"
Finally got around on starting "The Crown" this week, and I'm entirely hooked. John Lithgow is fantastic as Churchill.
Sandwich guy got charged for assault with a deli weapon. I'm getting myself a shirt. www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1729...
