BOS Planet on Instagram: "Coolest zoom ever. #moonlanding We did go. Not once but many times. Six crewed landings + many robotic landers. The former Soviet Union monitored it. The Chinese took pictures of it while orbiting the Moon. We got SATS mapping the lunar surface every week. Get over it. @nasa #apolloprogram #bosplanet #exploration"
Explaining The Universe on Instagram: "This panchromatic view of galaxy cluster MACS0416 was created by combining infrared observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope with visible-light data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. The resulting wavelength coverage, from 0.4 to 5 microns, reveals a vivid landscape of galaxies whose colors give clues to galaxy distances: The bluest galaxies are relatively nearby and often show intense star formation, as best detected by Hubble, while the redder galaxies tend to be more distant, or else contain copious amount of dust, as detected by Webb. The image reveals a wealth of details that are only possible to capture by combining the power of both space telescopes.

BOS Planet on Instagram: "From Earth to the edge of the observable Universe, 46.5 billion light years away. This image was created by our friend and space artist @pablocarlosbudassi — featuring satellites, planets, moons, systems, galaxies, super clusters embedded in cosmic filaments. Yet, as far as we know, we are the only the way the cosmos knows about itself. The search continues. #bosplanet #space #art #universe"
Galaxies on Instagram: "This is the BOSS, currently the Largest Structure in the Universe. A wall of galaxies one billion light years across comprising of 830 separate but connected galaxies. The BOSS is named after the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey—an international effort to map galaxie…"
