“Mother of Hubble,” friend of Webb. 💐 We’re honored that Dr. Nancy Grace Roman visited the Webb Telescope at

in 2017. Here she is shown with our Operations Project Scientist, Dr. Jane Rigby.

Dr. Jane Rigby and Dr. Nancy Grace Roman stand in front of the Webb telescope's golden hexagonal mirror, visible through a window that peers into the NASA Goddard cleanroom. Dr. Rigby has short blonde hair and wears a black suit. Dr. Roman has shoulder-length white hair and is wearing glasses and a dark blue dress.

A grayscale cartoon drawing of Dr. Nancy Grace Roman in a chair, reading from a book with a spiral galaxy on the cover. A miniature rendition of the James Webb Space Telescope hovers on her left; sketches of the Hubble Space Telescope with the Roman Space Telescope beneath it are on her right. Distant swathes of stars spread across the background.

#HappyMothersDay! Dr. Nancy Grace Roman is often called the "Mother of Hubble". Her work at @NASA made Hubble's mission possible, and also helped pave the way for space-based telescopes like @NASAWebb and @NASARoman. Find out more about Dr. Roman: go.nasa.gov/3BqscUX

Working on HST proposal Day 1: I can make this wonderful complicated measurement that will be so cool! Day 6: I no longer believe that I understand addition.

This is going to become my new official "working on a proposal" album. At least, if I get the one I'm working on now.

Now playing: 5F_55 is reflected to 5F-X. Been trying to find this album at a reasonable price for over a decade... and it's everything I hoped. Masterful powernoise.

"Waiting for Betelgeuse" is a play by Samuel Beckett in which two astronomers engage in a variety of Twitter discussions and encounters while awaiting the titular #Betelgeuse explosion, which never arrives.

They are especially interested in getting more participants who are currently in government or the private sector.

@YoniAstro

I think given the amount of coffee we drink, HST and JWST should also be considered grounds-based observing

An NSF funded research study to understand the professional networks of LGBT+ and/or women PhD physicists and astronomers is looking for participants (participation consists of a 1-hour Zoom interview, they offer a $100 gift card for participating). utahscience.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ab

Interesting trend I've noticed among early grad students/undergrad researchers: "Overleaf" and "LaTeX" are synonyms.

By my reckoning, the AL East without Tampa Bay would on its own be the best division in baseball... and the Rays are 11-0.

We now have 3/4 of the gas giants from JWST!!! I’m hoping for a Saturn picture soon 🪐

$A wide field view showcases Jupiter in the upper right quadrant. The planet’s swirling horizontal stripes are rendered in blues, browns, and cream. Electric blue auroras glow above Jupiter’s north and south poles. A white glow emanates out from the auroras. Along the planet’s equator, rings glow in a faint white. These rings are one million times fainter than the planet itself! At the far left edge of the rings, a moon appears as a tiny white dot. This moon is only about 12 miles (20 km) across. Slightly further to the left, another moon, about 100 miles (150 km) across, glows with tiny white diffraction spikes. The rest of the image is the blackness of space, with faintly glowing white galaxies in the distance.$

The planet Uranus on a black background. The planet appears light blue with a large, white patch on the right side. On the edge of that patch at the upper left is a bright white spot. Another white spot is located on the left side of the planet at the 9 o’clock position. Around the planet is a system of nested rings. The outermost ring is the brightest while the innermost ring is the faintest. Unlike Saturn’s horizontal rings, the rings of Uranus are vertical and so they appear to surround the planet.

In this Webb image, Neptune resembles a pearl with rings that look like ethereal concentric ovals around it. There are 2 thinner, crisper rings and 2 broader, fainter rings. A few extremely bright patches on the lower half of Neptune represent methane ice clouds. Six tiny white dots, which are six of Neptune’s 14 moons, are scattered among the rings. The background of the image is black.
