This Week @NASA: Celebrating the Worm, Record-Breaking Black Hole, First Euclid Images

Released on July 1, the Euclid objective is created to study dark matter and dark energy to address huge concerns about why our universe is expanding faster and much faster. On November 7, the Euclid objective released its very first science images.
Commemorating the NASA worm …
NASA telescopes area a record-breaking black hole …
And the first science images from a brand-new area observatory …

A few of the stories to inform you about– This Week at NASA!

These images show the galaxy cluster Abell 2744 that UHZ1 is located behind, in X-rays from Chandra and infrared data from Webb, as well as close-ups of the black hole host galaxy UHZ1. ESAs Euclid area objective exposed its very first full-color images of the universes. These 5 images illustrate Euclids full potential; they reveal that the telescope is prepared to create the most comprehensive 3D map of the Universe yet, to discover some of its covert tricks.

NASA Celebrates Worm Logo With Original Designer
On November 6 at NASA head office, we hosted a panel conversation about the design and cultural significance of the NASA worm logotype with Richard Danne, the designer of the worm. In 1992, the worm was retired but it has actually been restored for limited usage to complement the agencys main insignia, known as the meatball.
” I cant even, in words, reveal how fulfilling its been for this to come back. Itll constantly be a special location in my heart for NASA.”
Learn more about the “worm” on the July 24, 2020 episode of “Houston We Have a Podcast,” the official podcast of NASAs Johnson Space.
Astronomers found the most distant black hole ever spotted in X-rays (in a galaxy called UHZ1) utilizing the Chandra and Webb area telescopes. These images reveal the galaxy cluster Abell 2744 that UHZ1 is located behind, in X-rays from Chandra and infrared data from Webb, as well as close-ups of the black hole host galaxy UHZ1.
NASA Telescopes Discover Record-Breaking Black Hole
Astronomers utilizing NASAs Chandra X-ray Observatory and James Webb Space Telescope have actually discovered the most distant great void yet seen in X-rays.
The great void is at an early phase of growth that had actually never ever been seen in the past, where its mass resembles that of its host galaxy.
This outcome might discuss how a few of the first supermassive great voids in the universe formed.
ESAs Euclid space objective revealed its first full-color images of the cosmos. These 5 images highlight Euclids complete potential; they reveal that the telescope is ready to create the most extensive 3D map of the Universe yet, to reveal some of its concealed secrets.
First Science Images Released From Euclid Mission
On November 7, the Euclid objective launched its very first science images, including this image of the Perseus cluster, a group of countless galaxies about 240 million light-years from Earth. Euclid is led by the European Space Agency (ESA) with NASA contributions.
It will begin its regular science operations to study dark matter and dark energy in early 2024.
