A huge thank you to the teams who made this weekend happen and everyone who joined us at @NASAKennedy. Somewhere in that crowd is a future test pilot, an engineer, an astronaut who will walk on the Moon or Mars. That’s why we do this. Now let’s give them a future worthy of their ambitions. Big momentum building for @capeweek_us in 2028.

On Nov. 17, celebrate this once-in-human-history moment by creating a wave of golden light. Shine bright for Voyager! Here’s how to join in: go.nasa.gov/shinebright

To take pictures of planets close to their stars. #Space #scienceandtechnology by @NASAWebb

Even NASA’s JWST, the largest telescope in space, struggles to take pictures of planets close to their stars. A star can be billions of times brighter than its planets, and even a coronagraph—a mask inside the telescope that blocks a star’s light—can’t eliminate its glare completely. Now, astronomers have devised a way to model the minuscule imperfections in JWST’s optics and subtract that unwanted light. The technique boosted the telescope’s sensitivity to faint planets by as much as 15 times in one test. It also revealed a previously known exoplanet, 51 Eridani b, at a midinfrared wavelength where it had not been detected before. Learn more: scim.ag/3X5JNzq
