illustration of gravitaional waves
NANOGrav/Sonoma State University/Aurore Simonnet The NANOGrav collaboration has found the first evidence for low-frequency gravitational waves permeating the cosmos. The finding was made possible with 15 years of pulsar observations that turned the Milky Way into a galaxy-sized gravitational wave detector.

Bright pink circle shot through with blue against a black background
NASA/CXC/SAO/IXPE This image of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A, the first object observed by NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) satellite, combines some of the first X-ray data collected by IXPE, shown in magenta, with high-energy X-ray data from NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory, in blue. The satellite later detected polarized X-rays from 4U 0142+61, a highly magnetized neutron star located in the Cassiopeia constellation.

Icefin/NASA PSTAR RISE UP/Schmidt/Quartini The remotely operated underwater vehicle Icefin, developed by a team led by Britney Schmidt, is visible as it is lowered via a 4.3-mm fiber-optic tether through a borehole to start one of three dives beneath the Ross Ice Shelf near Kamb Ice Stream in Dedcember 2019. A tent shelter’s color is reflected in the ice.
