The central plane of our galaxy runs across the middle, and its center is marked by a white X. Red indicates hotter regions, blue colder. The fluctuations are extremely faint, varying by only 1 part in 100,000 from the average temperature. They represent density variations in the early universe thought to have given rise to the structures we see today.

Part 1: Turbulent Molecular Cloud Nebula with Protostellar ObjectsThe Advanced Visualization Laboratory (AVL) at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) collaborated with NASA and Drs. Alexei Kritsuk and Michael Norman to visualize a computational data set of a turbulent molecular cloud nebula forming protostellar objects and accretion disks approximately 100 AU in diameter, on the order of the size of our solar system. AVL used its Amore software to interpolate and render the Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) simulation generated from ENZO code for cosmology and astrophysics. The AMR simulation was developed by Drs. Kritsuk and Norman at the Laboratory for Computational Astrophysics. The AMR simulation generated more than 2 terabytes of data and follows star formation processes in a self-gravitating turbulent molecular cloud with a dynamic range of half-a-million in linear scale, resolving both the large-scale filamentary structure of the molecular cloud (~5 parsec) and accretion disks around emerging young protostellar objects (down to 2 AU). Part 2: Protoplanetary Disk and Planet FormationThe Advanced Visualization Laboratory (AVL) at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) collaborated with NASA and Dr. Aaron Boley to visualize the 16,000 year evolution of a young, isolated protoplanetary disk which surrounds a newly-formed protostar. The disk forms spiral arms and a dense clump as a result of gravitational collapse. Dr. Aaron Boley developed this computational model to investigate the response of young disks to mass accretion from their surrounding envelopes, including the direct formation of planets and brown dwarfs through gravitational instability. The main formation mechanism for gas giant planets has been debated within the scientific community for over a decade. One of these theories is 'direct formation through gravitational instability.' If the self-gravity of the gas overwhelms the disk's thermal pressure and the stabilizing effect of differential rotation, the gas closest to the protostar rotates faster than gas farther away. In this scenario, regions of the gaseous disk collapse and form a planet directly. The study, presented in Boley (2009), explores whether mass accretion in the outer regions of disks can lead to such disk fragmentation. The simulations show that clumps can form in situ at large disk radii. If the clumps survive, they can become gas giants on wide orbits, e.g., Fomalhaut b, or even more massive objects called brown dwarfs. Whether a disk forms planets at large radii and, if so, the number of planets that form, depend on how much of the envelope mass is distributed at large distances from the protostar. The results of the simulations suggest that there are two modes of gas giant planet formation. The first mode occurs early in the disk's lifetime, at large radii, and through the disk instability mechanism. After the main accretion phase is over, gas giants can form in the inner disk, over a period of a million years, through the core accretion mechanism, which researchers are addressing in other studies.Thanks to R.

The room is a class 10,000 clean room with over one million cubic feet of space.The outside half of Roman, called OSD, contains the solar panels and protective layers. The Deployable Aperture Cover, which protects the mirrors during launch and then unfolds to help shield them from sunlight does a test deployment. During this test, lines connect to it and pull upward to negate Earth’s gravitational forces, which Roman will not experience in space. Then the Solar Array Sun Shield panels deploy. There are four panels that move. They fold against the spacecraft to fit inside the rocket fairing and then deploy in space to make a large flat plane that both collects light to generate electricity and helps keep the rest of Roman cool.In preparation for additional testing, technicians put a clean tent over OSD and transport it out of the clean room. They push it into the acoustic test chamber where a six-foot-tall horn projects up to 150-decibel sound at varying frequencies. The other tests are on two vibration tables that shake Roman along all three axes: up/down, left/right, and forward/backward. Engineers attach hundreds of sensors and run tests of increasing intensity. During and after each test, they carefully study the data to make sure that Roman is behaving as they anticipated.While these tests occur, Roman’s inside half, containing the mirrors, instruments and support equipment, move into Goddard’s largest thermal vacuum chamber, the SES (Space Environment Simulator). This 40-foot-tall chamber can simulate the vacuum of space and the wide temperature range that Roman will experience there: from -310° Fahrenheit (-190° C) to 302° Fahrenheit (150° C). The move to the chamber happens without a clean tent, so the entire path was cleaned, and all the workers dress in full clean-room garb to ensure that no dirt contaminates the sensitive parts of the spacecraft. Once the two layers of doors are sealed, Roman spends 72 days inside running through tests at various temperatures and with equipment turned on to ensure that it works at low temperature in a vacuum. A special array installed above the mirror projects light that engineers use to test the optics and sensors.After leaving the SES chamber and returning to the SSDIF, Roman’s primary and secondary mirrors are carefully cleaned and inspected. It is a balance to get the mirrors as clean as possible while not cleaning too aggressively and damaging the delicate surfaces. The mirrors are cleaned both horizontally with a gentle vacuum cleaner and vertically with brushes. After this cleaning, every inch is visually inspected and photographed to record the exact optical characteristics. This was the last time the primary mirror would be accessible.Finally, in late November, Roman’s two halves are joined together to form the complete observatory. The process takes the better part of a day. Two guide poles are installed on the inside half to help direct OSD down onto it. At various times, the clearances between the two halves are only a few inches. With the observatory complete, it begins preparing for another round of deployments and testing.Music credit: “Our Journey Begins,” Dan Thiessen [BMI], Universal Production MusicWatch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel.Complete transcript available. || YTframe_Roman_Hardware_Highlights_SummerFall2025_3.jpg (1280x720) [473.7 KB] || Roman_HH_Summer-Fall2025_10mbps.mp4 (1920x1080) [185.0 MB] || Roman_HH_Summer-Fall2025_25mbps.mp4 (1920x1080) [452.7 MB] || Roman_HH_Summer-Fall2025_YT.mp4 (1920x1080) [880.2 MB] || RomanHHLate2025Captions.en_US.srt [588 bytes] || RomanHHLate2025Captions.en_US.vtt [570 bytes] || Roman_HH_Summer-Fall2025_ProRes_1920x1080_2997.mov (1920x1080) [2.5 GB] || ", "hits": 280 }, { "id": 14399, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14399/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2023-12-20T11:00:00-05:00", "title": "Fermi's 14-Year Time-Lapse of the Gamma-Ray Sky", "description": "From solar flares to black hole jets: NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has produced a unique time-lapse tour of the dynamic high-energy sky.

Dense stellar remnants called neutron stars create these bursts when they collide with other neutron stars or black holes. Short gamma-ray bursts, which last less than 2 seconds, are important sources for gravitational wave discoveries and multimessenger astronomy. BurstCube will use Earth’s magnetic field to orientate itself as it scans the sky. To do so, the mission team had to map the spacecraft’s own magnetic field using a special facility at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. The magnetic calibration chamber generates a known magnetic field that cancels out Earth’s. The team's measurements of BurstCube’s field in the chamber will help figure out where the satellite is pointing once in space, so scientists can locate gamma-ray bursts and tell other observatories where to look. || ", "hits": 48 }, { "id": 14979, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14979/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2026-03-26T14:00:00-04:00", "title": "Early Testing of Aerogel and Silicon Detectors for TIGERISS", "description": "Nick Cannady, an astrophysicist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, examines a block of silica aerogel in May 2025.

Dark purple colors represent the lowest densities, while yellow-white shows the highest. An audible tone and a visual frequency scale (at left) track the steady rise in the frequency of gravitational waves as the neutron stars close. When the objects merge at 42 seconds, the gravitational waves suddenly jump to frequencies of thousands of hertz and bounce between two primary tones (quasiperiodic oscillations, or QPOs). The presence of these signals in such simulations led to the search and discovery of similar phenomena in the light emitted by short gamma-ray bursts.Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and STAG Research Centre/Peter HammondComplete transcript available.Watch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel.Visual description:On a black background with a faint gray grid, two multicolored blobs representing merging neutron stars circle and close. The colors indicate density. Yellow-white indicates the highest densities, at the centers of the objects. The colors change to orange and red at their periphery, with purple colors representing matter torn from and swirling with the neutron stars as they orbit. The grid shrinks as the camera pulls back to capture a wider view of the merger. A pale orange display at left shows the changing frequency of the gravitational waves generated, which is also indicated by the rising tone. As the merger occurs, the screen shows a spinning yellow blob at center immersed in a large cloud of magneta and purple debris. || Merger_Simulation_Annotated_Still_2.jpg (1920x1080) [180.7 KB] || 14209_Hypermassive_QPO_Simulation_Zoom_YOUTUBE_1080.webm (1920x1080) [12.1 MB] || 14209_Hypermassive_QPO_Simulation_Zoom_YOUTUBE_1080.mp4 (1920x1080) [129.3 MB] || 14209_Hypermassive_QPO_Simulation_Zoom_YOUTUBE_BEST_1080.mp4 (1920x1080) [161.8 MB] || 14209_NS_Merger_QPO_SRT_Captions.en_US.srt [1.6 KB] || 14209_NS_Merger_QPO_SRT_Captions.en_US.vtt [1.6 KB] || 14209_Hypermassive_QPO_Simulation_Zoom_YOUTUBE_ProRes_1920x1080_2997.mov (1920x1080) [1.0 GB] || ", "hits": 324 }, { "id": 14820, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14820/", "result_type": "Infographic", "release_date": "2025-04-24T12:00:00-04:00", "title": "Roman's Core Surveys Infographics", "description": "NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s three main observing programs, highlighted in this infographic, will enable astronomers to view the universe as never before, revealing billions of cosmic objects strewn across enormous swaths of space-time.Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center || Roman_CoreSurveys_Infographic_print.jpg (1024x640) [155.3 KB] || Roman_CoreSurveys_Infographic.png (8000x5000) [28.6 MB] || Roman_CoreSurveys_Infographic.jpg (8000x5000) [2.5 MB] || Roman_CoreSurveys_Infographic_Half.jpg (4000x2500) [1.3 MB] || Roman_CoreSurveys_Infographic_searchweb.png (320x180) [72.9 KB] || Roman_CoreSurveys_Infographic_thm.png [6.6 KB] || ", "hits": 282 }, { "id": 14809, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14809/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2025-03-24T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Testing AstroPix, A New Gamma-Ray Detector", "description": "An AstroPix detector board rests inside a protective tray in a lab at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
