It's Black Hole Friday! This computer simulation shows a gas cloud encountering two supermassive black holes. As gravitational and frictional forces meet, the cloud condenses and heats. Each time the black holes orbit, some of the gas is ejected. Learn how scientists use…

#OTD in 1969, the Apollo 12 lunar module "Intrepid" landed on the Moon, just 538 feet away from the Surveyor 3 spacecraft. This photo, a close up of Surveyor 3 with the Apollo 12 LM in the background, shows the stunning accuracy of the precision landing.

Dear God, the absolute garbage being posted by anti-science nutters in response to the NASA images of Comet 3i! The disrespect for science & scientists, the lack of basic science education, just appalling & depressing. Not helped by Phoney Stark posting "Alienz".

Here’s an annotated version of our comet image. We also want to thank our downlink and uplink teams who spent a huge amount of time working on this. Our camera was not designed to image interstellar objects 19 million miles away, but their hard work and planning paid off.
