You can adopt a pixel on one of the first images to come in from the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope! The Wide Field Instrument camera installed in the NGRT is a staggering 300 megapixels! While the telescope shares a mirror size with the Hubble Space Telescope (2.4 meters) it images a field of view 100 times larger - scanning giant swaths of the sky in search for exoplanets and measuring the light from a billion galaxies. Billion with a 'B'!

Go pick out your pixel! 🔭🌠

Be part of the bigger picture! 🌌

With more than a million individual pixels per pointing of Roman’s Wide Field Imager, there’s a spot for everyone in Roman’s first images, set to be released in the next few months. Sign up to get a certificate and number now, which will later be assigned to a pixel in a Roman image.

12k comments already on this proposal to relax environmental restrictions on commercial rocket launches. In the theme of our recent episode with Dr. Mary-Jane Rubenstein on the state of the commercial space industry, this is a bad move not only for space exploration, but also of course for the Earth. There is still time to make a comment!

Cross fandom post but it is amazing to see Spider-Man punch out white supremacists in Minneapolis. Col. Kira would approve. We love to the the courage of fandoms stand up to injustice, fascism, and hate. Awesome to once again see Minneapolis shine.

The now iconic photo of Spider-Man punching Jake Lang was taken by photojournalist Chris Juhn
