Awesome episode of StarTalk featuring astrophysicist + data sonification guru Kimberly Kowal Arcand from Chandra Observatory, who makes it possible to Listen to the Universe. Includes sonification that uses our NASA Webb Telescope data of exploded star Cas A. Beautiful 🤩 startalkmedia.com/show/listening…

Red Wine Supernova ❤️ Supernova 1987a has been studied by Hubble, Chandra Observatory, and ALMA, a powerful array of 66 antennas, for over 30 years. Here are a few things they showed us that we didn't know: go.nasa.gov/3YaQFsi

It’s giving rainbows and unicorns, like a middle school binder 🦄🌈 Meet NGC 602, a young star cluster in the Small Magellanic Cloud, where astronomers using NASA Webb Telescope have found candidates for the first brown dwarfs outside of our galaxy. esawebb.org/news/weic2425/

Last Christmas, @ChandraXray gave us a cluster of stars. This year, new telescope views (combined with Chandra data) gave us something special: go.nasa.gov/3DI9H2s

30 years ago this week, Hubble captured one of the most recognizable images in astronomy — the famous "Pillars of Creation." In the decades since, Chandra, Hubble, and NASA Webb Telescope have added even more detail to this fascinating landscape. chandra.si.edu/blog/node/922

Supernovas are some of the most violent events in the Universe, and the force of the explosion generates a blinding flash of radiation as well as shock waves that rumble across space. bit.ly/43F65JU

About 12 million light-years from Earth, at the center of Centaurus A, is an enormous black hole that is sending a booming jet across the entire length of the galaxy. This sonification combines X-rays from NASA's Chandra & IXPE with optical data from the ESO's MPG telescope. 1/2
