One year ago today, the Sun unleashed a torrent of eruptions that caused the biggest geomagnetic storm in over two decades. Auroras filled the skies as far south as Mexico! 🤩 But the storm’s impacts reached even farther and wider than you might think. Here’s some of what

Think Northern Lights, but way bigger! Auroras on both planets are caused by solar storms, but Jupiter has an additional source of charged particles contributing to the light show — volcanoes on its moon Io! go.nasa.gov/4kidT9u

Monster black holes? Don't worry, they're nice(r). With the NICER instrument, researchers studied QPEs — mysterious repeating X-ray outbursts that may occur in systems where a lower-mass object passes through the gas around a supermassive black hole. go.nasa.gov/4jJ1UBW

The Sun emitted a strong solar flare on May 13, 2025, peaking at 11:38 a.m. ET. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the event, which was classified as X1.2. go.nasa.gov/3GRKrbI

Evaporation, condensation, precipitation on my mind. This is the (methane?!) cycle, and it happens all the time! 🎶 Webb provided evidence for cloud convection on Saturn’s moon Titan, the only other place in our solar system with weather like Earth! go.nasa.gov/42UZha8

Earth's atmosphere keeps us safe by providing air and blocking harmful rays from the Sun. But for years, certain chemicals damaged the ozone layer, exposing us to dangerous UV radiation. In this episode of NASA’s Curious Universe podcast, we’ll take a deep dive into NASA’s

New research using XRISM, a partnership between JAXA(Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) and NASA with @ESA participation, reveals that high-speed winds from supermassive black holes are clumpier and more energetic than expected, helping us learn how black holes and galaxies coevolved: xrism.jaxa.jp/en/topics/scie…

Twister: Space style! 🌪️ 🌌 Meet Herbig-Haro 49/50 (HH 49/50), nicknamed the “Cosmic Tornado” for its helical appearance. NASA Webb Telescope’s infrared mirrors captured this detailed view of HH 49/50, which was produced by jets launched from a nearby, forming star. Outflows like HH

How did life begin on Earth? Our Dragonfly mission aims to find clues by exploring Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. As a pristine chemical "laboratory," Titan offers a unique window into the processes that may have led to complex molecules and the first signs of life! More:

Which planets have you seen in the night sky lately? 🪐 In the mornings, low in the eastern sky, you can find bright Venus paired with much fainter Saturn. In the evenings, for a couple of hours after sunset, Mars and Jupiter are visible in the western sky!
