The #NISAR mission is one step closer to liftoff!

This NASA-ISRO satellite, designed to monitor Earth’s changing ecosystems, land surfaces, and ice, has safely arrived at India’s Satish Dhawan Space Centre. Launch is targeted for July. Details: go.nasa.gov/45Gdytd

The lid of a specialized container is lifted to reveal NISAR, the Earth-observing radar satellite jointly developed by NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), shortly after the spacecraft’s arrival at ISRO’s Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota on India’s southeastern coast on May 16, 2025. The container is white and is being lifted above the spacecraft that is covered in silver blanketing, People in blue frocks stand to the right of the container. The image is slightly tinted in color because of fluorescent lights in the facility.

During its early years, our universe was immersed in a fog of neutral hydrogen gas, but today this gas is ionized.

Until now, astronomers have wondered what objects caused this transformation.

Using @NASAWebb data, a team of astronomers have identified dozens of small galaxies that played a starring role in shaping our universe into the one we know today. More: go.nasa.gov/4kX9sky
