Hubble Space Telescope

Another day at the office! 🧑‍🚀 The fifth servicing mission to Hubble began #OTD in 2009. Astronauts gave Hubble new life through five spacewalks that set Hubble up for many more years of discovery. Two new scientific instruments were installed: the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph and Wide Field Camera 3. Two failed instruments, the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph and the Advanced Camera for Surveys, were brought back to operation by the first ever on-orbit repairs. These efforts brought Hubble to the apex of its scientific capabilities, and it continues sending back exciting astronomical data to this day. Image descriptions: 1 - The body of the Hubble Space Telescope is seen attached to the cargo bay with astronauts completing servicing work. Hubble's solar arrays at the top of the image, and Earth is seen beneath the telescope. 2 - The Hubble Space Telescope is pictured orbiting above a desert region of Earth, with black space behind it. #OnThisDay #NASA #Hubble #history #astronomy #astronaut #space #science #Earth

Lions are the apex predators in the Serengeti, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem by regulating prey population.

Discovery

🎥 + 💭: @matthewunderwater The manta rays of Komodo. Nothing quite compares. Watching these gentle giants glide through beams of light is one of the most peaceful experiences a person can have. With wingspans reaching over five meters, they move with quiet ease, effortlessly navigating strong currents. Mantas have no stingers or teeth—and no interest in confrontation. Just grace and serenity. Filmed at Mawan dive site in Komodo National Park, Indonesia. #MarineMonday #Komodo #MantaRays

The Chiesa di Sant’Ignazio is a stunning Baroque church in Rome, built in the 17th century and dedicated to Saint Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order. Initially designed by Carlo Maderno and later completed by Orazio Grassi, the church is best known for Andrea Pozzo’s breathtaking ceiling fresco, which masterfully creates the illusion of a vast dome overhead. Inside, the church dazzles with ornate stucco work, elegant marble altars, and ingenious trompe-l’œil techniques that expand the viewer’s sense of space. A true gem of illusionistic art, Sant’Ignazio stands as one of the finest examples of Jesuit architecture in #Rome. 🎥 @juliaghile.jpg
