#SOFIAtelescope science is not disappearing into a black hole! It’s joining NASA Universe. This will be our last post on this account, but we still have more science to share. Please follow our friends at @NASAUniverse to learn about more stories to come! #BlackHoleWeek
That's no moon! Or is it...? Hidden in this SOFIA image of Jupiter are its four largest moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Read about how these satellites snuck into the data: go.nasa.gov/3LhvHTe #StarWarsDay #MayThe4th
Tatooine may be fictional, but the twisted magnetic fields around binary stellar systems can reveal how Tatooine planets — real-life planets with two suns — come to be. ☀️☀️ More: go.nasa.gov/3LiutXY #StarWarsDay #MayThe4th
At home in the Milky Way, magnetic fields appear to be channeling the gas into an orbit around the black hole, rather than directly into it. This may explain why our galaxy’s black hole is not actively feasting. More: go.nasa.gov/3USPfk1 #BlackHoleWeek
Billions of light-years away, SOFIA found a galaxy nestled in a brief window of time when continued star birth and a black hole’s ravenous feeding can coexist, challenging our theories of galactic evolution. More: go.nasa.gov/3ou118F #BlackHoleWeek
We need all wavelengths of light to study black holes! #SOFIAtelescope looked at infrared light, which tells us about the surrounding dust grains & magnetic fields. #BlackHoleWeek will be our last week on this account before joining @NASAUniverse, so follow along to learn more!
#ICYMI We’re closing this account soon. Our last post will be on May 5! After that, @NASAUniverse will be your place for #SOFIAtelescope news. We hope you'll join us at our new home!
Now that SOFIA’s mission has ended, it’s time for our news to take off from somewhere else. This account will stop posting on Friday, May 5. Make sure to follow our friends at @NASAUniverse for the most up-to-date #SOFIAtelescope stories!
During SOFIA’s final New Zealand deployment last year, a special citizen science instrument few onboard to observe aurora australis. You can @DoNASAScience, too! Celebrate #CitizenScienceMonth by checking out some of the projects we can use your help on: go.nasa.gov/3ZOVGp5
Here they are. @SenBillNelson announces the #Artemis II crew, the next astronauts to fly around the Moon: @Astro_Christina @Astro_Jeremy @AstroVicGlover @astro_reid We go together. nasa.gov/specials/artem…
SOFIA’s FIFI-LS instrument was efficient at obtaining images and spectroscopic information simultaneously, studying the interstellar medium and star-forming regions in the Milky Way and its nearby galaxies. It also had a special little mascot! Happy #NationalPuppyDay! 🐾
The first light flight wasn’t the only time SOFIA gazed at Messier 82! Years later, SOFIA discovered that the magnetic fields in Messier 82 provide a “highway” to channel material out of the galaxy. Read more: go.nasa.gov/3LBind0 #MessierMarathon
#DYK In 2010, SOFIA achieved its “first light” — the first time the telescope observed the night sky during flight. It set its sights on two celestial objects: Jupiter and the galaxy Messier 82, also known as the Cigar Galaxy. #MessierMarathon
Researchers created the first detailed, wide-area map of water distribution on the Moon using data from the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). The map includes the Lunar South Pole & the future landing spot for our VIPER Moon rover go.nasa.gov/3mXbCrX
In 2020, we announced the confirmation of H2O on the Moon, but we had remaining questions – how does the water behave? How can we access it? A new map of water distribution on the Moon provides hints about how water may be moving across the Moon’s surface. go.nasa.gov/3JkIEJL
SOFIA created the first detailed, wide-area map of the Moon’s water! With more water found in cold, shadowy regions — like the sides of craters and mountains — the map provides hints about how water may be moving across the Moon’s surface. More: go.nasa.gov/408usKF

@SOFIAtelescope @NASAUniverse Named our daughter Sofia ✈️ in honor of her retirement! She will be missed 🖤
Stars: always making a dramatic exit! 🌟 Webb’s powerful infrared eye has captured never-before-seen detail of Cassiopeia A (Cas A). 11,000 light-years away, it is the remnant of a massive star that exploded about 340 years ago: go.nasa.gov/3ZJnk72
SOFIA Maps Water Occurrences on the Moon dsi.uni-stuttgart.de/en/institute/n… @SOFIAtelescope @DLR_SpaceAgency @Uni_Stuttgart @UniStuttgartIRS
I helped 💁🏽♀️
SOFIA created the first detailed, wide-area map of the Moon’s water! With more water found in cold, shadowy regions — like the sides of craters and mountains — the map provides hints about how water may be moving across the Moon’s surface. More: go.nasa.gov/408usKF
A new study using NASA’s and DLR's now-retired @SOFIAtelescope has pieced together the first detailed, wide-area map of water distribution on the Moon. The results were presented at #LPSC23. This map will provide info for #Artemis and later for #VIPER newsroom.usra.edu/sofia-reveals-…
Cosmic spring is in the air! The latest image from @NASAWebb features a blooming Wolf-Rayet star, 15,000 light-years away. This rare phase is as fleeting as the cherry blossom it resembles. Luckily, Webb can study its "petals" of dust in detail: go.nasa.gov/3YL5D6I #SXSW
Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all the incredible @WomenNASA! Thank you for your passion, your curiosity & your perseverance. Because of you, NASA continues to break barriers and inspire the next generation of female explorers. Tell us—who has inspired you?
Sometimes, the story of science is told through cake. The unofficial Fermi Cake Committee created this rendition of a supernova remnant left at the end of a large star’s life. But there’s a Fermi twist: its frosting “gamma-ray” regions glow under UV light! #FermiFriday
Next time, the Moon? 🌔 @astro_watkins met our full-scale VIPER Moon rover model today! VIPER will search for water ice and other resources that could support future Artemis missions. #MoonRoverAndMe
Jeremy creates simulations of black holes to help understand real data collected by spacecraft. The dancing arcs in this visualization reveal the twisted space-time surrounding a pair of supersized black holes, each with its own disk of hot gas. More: go.nasa.gov/3XRS6d7
Happy #IntroduceAGirlToEngineeringDay! We're celebrating Sally Ride, the first woman of @NASA_Astronauts to fly in space. Ride worked during & after her @NASA career to inspire the next generation of engineers & scientists. Who's your engineering heroine? go.nasa.gov/3Zct0ap
With one of the largest maps ever obtained in the 158 µm line of ionized carbon (within the FEEDBACK program on @SOFIAtelescope), @nicola4711, Bonne et al. present evidence for dynamic interactions between molecular clouds and their atomic envelopes: nature.com/articles/s4155… #OA
Roses are red Violets are blue Forget about flowers Here's some planets for you! #ValentinesDay For more #NASAValentines: go.nasa.gov/3v56nZh
Which spacecraft flew by Uranus on this day in 1986, taking this photo? Hint: To date it is still the only mission to have visited the planet.
This star is a big baby. ⭐ Our retired SOFIA Space Telescope caught a massive star in the early stages of formation, revealing the magnetic processes that allow such a record-setting star to form. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3kj3CAc
Last week's #aas241 was a great success with featured work from USRA's Chien-Ting Chen, Joan Schmelz, Ümit Kavak and more results from @SOFIAtelescope. Check out the press releases on USRA's newsroom: newsroom.usra.edu
.@pimaairandspace We brought over a giant in airborne astronomy today! @SOFIAtelescope is now onsite after arriving in Tucson on Dec. 13. We will work with them to prepare it for public display. We’d also like to thank the Federal GSA Region 9 office for helping make this happen.
The @SOFIAtelescope and @almaobs studied magnetic fields in the “monster” cloud BYF 73 while undergoing real-time massive star formation!
Next, we have Dr. Peter Barnes talking about "the case of the masquerading monster in BYF 73"
Their team found that the gas infall is faster than expected, implying a 4-6x larger protostellar mass than thought, of about 1000 solar masses. Thus the central protostellar object is a masquerading monster!
Snoopy has gone where no beagle has gone before. Following the successful conclusion of the #Artemis I Moon mission, @NASAGroundSys teams have begun unloading the payloads aboard, including the zero-gravity indicator #AstronautSnoopy. go.nasa.gov/3w26zr7
