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…
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
