#BlackHole Week

Before the #TotalSolarEclipse on April 8, scientists aimed to foresee what the NASA Sun & Space's corona would look like during totality, to help understand the accuracy of their models.

And, the results are in! Learn more about the prediction vs reality >> go.nasa.gov/3WyEsyf

Researchers using NASA Webb Telescope may have detected atmospheric gases surrounding 55 Cancri e, a hot rocky exoplanet classified as a super-Earth!

This is the best evidence to date for the existence of any rocky planet atmosphere outside our solar system.
