Did Hubble actually catch a star exploding? Long story short, I DON'T KNOW! I saw the viral time-lapse, got super hyped, and went digging for the source. But I couldn’t find anything official. No NASA post, nothing on Hubble, nothing!

These are just test images from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory... and they’re already stunning. In just over 10 hours, Rubin captured millions of stars, millions of galaxies, and discovered 2,104 new asteroids. And this is only the beginning.

This new JWST image is so wild, I get why some people think space is fake. 🤯 But it’s real! It's a perfect Einstein ring caused by a foreground galaxy warping the light of a spiral galaxy behind it. Amazing!

Have we found evidence for life on Mars? 🔴 No, but this seems to be the strongest evidence yet for a potential biosignature on our little rocky neighbour!

Could we see Betelgeuse go supernova in our lifetime?! New research suggests it's very possible!
