Hubble and NuStar image of Arp 299, also known as NGC 3690.

NuSTAR data overlaid on a Hubble image of the interacting galaxy pair show the galaxy on the right has an active supermassive black hole, glowing brightly in X-rays.

Two merging galaxies form an abstract shape, which looks a little like an upside down rubber duck. Within the "head" and "body" of the duck are crossed brown swirls, which are dust and gas. The outside of the duck is outlined with hazy yellow swirls, which are streams of stars. Near the "neck" of the duck, at the point where the two merging galaxies touch, and slightly to the right is a bright white blob, surrounded by pink blobs. This is X-ray light from NuStar, which shows emission from an active supermassive black hole in the right galaxy.

CORRECTION: It says it will reduce funding for IXPE, NuSTAR, and TESS, and it will fund some pioneers at reduced levels starting in FY27. It is unclear to me if these missions can actually operate at the reduced level in the president's budget though.

When SN2023ixf went off last year, the closest supernova in nearly a decade, NuSTAR was able to take observations within just four days - early enough to observe high-energy X-rays from the explosion while lower-energy X-rays were still obscured by the circumstellar material. 🔭🛰️

31,576 objects are in orbit right now, but where's NuSTAR? 🌌

Our tracker shows its exact position as it probes black holes and supernova remnants with hard X-rays.

Are you coming to the #AAS245 meeting in January? Swing by NASA's high-energy mission booth and find out about the science NuSTAR has been up to - and here's a sneak preview of the cool new stickers you can pick up when you do! 🔭
A close-up shot of a sticker for the NuSTAR mission, showing a hazy view of colourful abstract artwork of the NuSTAR satellite, in an enamel/stained-glass style. Underneath it and blurred in the background, other stickers can be seen, their contents obscured (for now...)

Super mixed feelings at the NuSTAR group meeting today. On the one hand, celebrating having done excellently at Senior Review (justifying the continued operation of the mission - NuSTAR has unique capabilities and is excellent value for money in terms of science, and NASA agrees!) On the other... 🔭🧪

Dit is een artistieke weergave van NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array).

Deze telescoop werd gelanceerd op 13 juni 2012.

NuSTAR onderzoekt naast de verdeling van zwarte gaten over het heelal ook de oorzaak van sterexplosies.

It says so much that people like Weir want to firmly write nuStar Trek (or the Star Wars sequels) off as non-canon instead of trying to build on or improve those and be in conversation with them

Ah, so Andy Weir is like... *dumb* dumb

gizmodo.com/andy-weir-st...
“I dislike social commentary. Like… I really hate it. When I’m reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the author’s political agenda is validated. I hate that,” Weir said. “I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and I’m not trying to affect the reader’s opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that.” “For instance, as a lifelong Star Trek fan, it’s always bothered me that there is a presumed ‘responsibility’ within Star Trek shows to talk about social issues,” the writer added. “I just want to watch Romulans and the Federation shoot at each other.”
