Don't have a great camera, but here's the moon from this mornjng. She was being especially super and blue but bloody... and a bit shy. She might not be the most interesting moon, but she hangs out with us and she's beautiful. And a skunk walked up to me, asked 'wth are you doing?' And I said 'pls no' and we left it at that. #moon #superbluebloodmoon #lunar #lunareclispe #space #spaceisawesome #redmoon #bloodmoon #fullmoon #photography #skunktho #sprayavoidance101 #cutetho

I could look at this for hours! So pretty! #spaceisawesome 💫 #Repost @nasa Galactic Glamour Shot! 😍⁣ ⁣ This spiral galaxy in the constellation of the Wolf sparkles from 60 million light-years away. ⁣ ⁣ There was recently a supernova in the galaxy. This supernova (2017cbv) was a specific type, in which a white dwarf steals so much mass from a companion star that it becomes unstable and explodes, releasing enough energy to light up that part of the galaxy.⁣ ⁣ Credit: @EuropeanSpaceAgency/Hubble & NASA, A.

A stunning image of Jupiters' south pole captured by NASAs Juno spacecraft. Let us know some information about it. . This image shows Jupiter’s south pole, as seen by NASA’s Juno spacecraft from an altitude of 32,000 miles (52,000 kilometers). The oval features are cyclones, up to 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) in diameter. Multiple images taken with the JunoCam instrument on three separate orbits were combined to show all areas in daylight, enhanced color, and stereographic projection. . About Jupiters . Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System. It is a gas giant with a mass one-thousandth that of the Sun, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined. Jupiter is one of the brightest objects visible to the naked eye in the night sky, and has been known to ancient civilizations since before recorded history.  . About Juno Spacecraft . Juno is a NASA space probe orbiting the planet Jupiter. It was built by Lockheed Martin and is operated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The spacecraft was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on August 5, 2011, as part of the New Frontiers program. Juno entered the polar orbit of Jupiter on July 5th 2016. It is expected to be in service till July 2021. . #jupiter #spaceisawesome #solarsystem #solarsystems #junospacecraft #nasa #astronomy #astronomyscience #spaceiscool #spaceexploration #spaceimages #spaceisbeautiful #spacemission #spacemissions #missionspace #astronomyspaceeuniverse #astronomyclass #astronomyphotography #astronomyphotos https://www.instagram.com/p/B_VFgHtjWFy/?igshid=i351uo10k90w

33 minutes after you ring in the New Year, the New Horizons Probe will fly by it's next target, the KBO Ultima Thule. It will be the furthest photographed object (6.6 Billion km) #newhorizonsprobe #spaceisawesome #nerdgasm #ultimathule #spaceistheplace (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsDxRXFnaBe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x4ve1nw1k0il

Voyager 2 has left the building! Actually the solar system, it is 18 billion km away and entering the heliosphere. Only the second human created object to do so. Launched 41 years ago, Voyager 1 and 2 are still transmitting data back to Earth. Pioneer 11 will be the next to leave but it can no longer communicate with us. #voyager2 #nasa #nerdgasm #spaceisawesome https://www.instagram.com/p/BrQSIbknU1X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b4x9f0c2v63v
