Looking for some fresh new #astronomy photos? Perhaps from a space telescope?!

The ESA/Hubble team produces a new image using new and archival Hubble data every week. We include info about the target and the science behind the observations!

A recent one I really like:

@mast-news.bsky.social @stsci.edu props on the new data preview tab for the MAST search, extremely helpful and makes the search form finally a good alternative to the MAST Portal! I just hope it'll become available for the Hubble search as well 😄

All eyes on #3I/ATLAS ☄️

Our Mars Express & ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter will observe the comet around its closest approach to Mars on 3 October 2025, when 3I/ATLAS will be around 30 million km from the red planet.

Stay tuned and follow esa.int/3IATLAS 🔭🧪

Today we say goodbye to ESA’s Milky Way-mapper Gaia! The Gaia spacecraft has completed its sky-scanning and will be switched off this morning.
