This week we’re celebrating 10 years of NuSTAR in space! Follow along for a recap of the X-ray space telescope’s most exciting discoveries.

In 2014, astronomers used NuSTAR to discover a pulsating, dead star beaming with the energy of 10 million Suns. This is one of NuSTAR’s most astonishing discoveries because the these ultraluminous X-ray sources were previously thought to be black holes: go.nasa.gov/3xNZNqE

By the way, Caltech news item celebrating 10 years of NuSTAR is also live! pma.caltech.edu/news/nustar-ce…

Happy 10 years in space, NASA NuSTAR!🎂😁 Wishing you many more exciting discoveries as we explore the X-ray Universe together!🎉 #XRaysAreTheBestRays More at: go.nasa.gov/3Qv0Fbk

For the afternoon crowd

Launched from a rocket strapped to the belly of an aircraft on June 13, 2012, NASA's #NuSTAR mission is celebrating 10 years in space! The mission has made discoveries about black holes, supernova remnants, pulsars, our own fiery sun, and more. 🛰️ youtube.com/watch?v=PQIdeS…

And finally for the evening Twitter folks. And stop by NASA booths at #AAS240 for your poster (if there are any more)

My name is Murray Brightman, I am an astrophysicist living in Los Angeles and working at Caltech, but originally from Scotland. I’ll sign my posts /MB

The PI of NuSTAR joined the Small Steps, Giant Leaps podcast to celebrated #NuSTARX!

(NEW) ATel 15495: NuSTAR follow-up observation of MAXI J0655-013 reveals 1129s pulsations... astronomerstelegram.org/?read=15495

Well it might not be quite as spectacular as this week’s JWST images, but today we got our first observations of a supermassive black hole known as MS 22549-3712 from NuSTAR_Science! We’re seeing X-rays emitted from gas in its final moments before it falls into the black hole…

Fantastic seminar at Caltech as a @CaltechSURF student. Really appreciate the support of the NuSTAR_Science team for my wonderful research summer here.

If you’re feeling a little sluggish, #TBT to 2016 when our Swift, NuSTAR, and Chandra Observatory telescopes announced one of the slowest-known pulsars. This stellar core turns once every 6.5 hours — poky compared to the 100s of times a second others can spin! go.nasa.gov/36PuPk0

Our X-ray telescopes usually focus on the universe outside the NASA Solar System, but sometimes they make discoveries within it! NuSTAR recently observed the highest-energy light ever detected from Jupiter and helped solve a decades-old mystery: go.nasa.gov/3RwdkL7

Caution! ⚠️ X-rays. Tomorrow is the deadline for NuSTAR_Science observation proposals, for which hundreds of us are trying to convince our peers that each has the most interesting object for NuSTAR to turn her eyes to! #lifeinacademia

Remind that the NuSTAR deadline is 4:30 PM EST on Thursday (tomorrow!). Which is middle of the afternoon for the West Coasters.
