![NASA’s Illuminate: Largest Sunspot in Almost a Decade
This is the biggest sunspot we’ve seen in over a decade!
Sunspots are cooler, darker areas on the solar surface where the Sun’s magnetic field gets especially intense, often leading to explosive solar eruptions. This sunspot was so big that nearly 14 Earths could fit inside it! The eruptions from this sunspot resulted in the historic May 2024 geomagnetic storms, where the aurora borealis, or northern lights, were seen as far south as the Florida Keys.

![Hubble Captures Destruction of Worlds
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a rare and violent event unfolding around the nearby star Fomalhaut, an apparent collision between two large bodies in a distant planetary system.
This discovery sheds light on the chaotic processes that may have shaped our own solar system billions of years ago.
With support from both Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers are now closely monitoring the aftermath.

![NASAs Roman Space Telescope Parts and Assembly
The Roman observatory is slated to launch no later than May 2027, with the team aiming for as early as fall 2026. The mission will revolutionize our understanding of the universe with its deep, crisp, sweeping views of space.
More than a thousand technicians and engineers assembled Roman from millions of individual components. Many parts were built and tested simultaneously to save time. Now that the observatory is assembled, it will undergo a spate of testing prior to shipping to NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida in summer 2026.

![The Fellowship of the Telescopes
For centuries, humanity has looked to the stars and wondered what lies beyond the veil of night. Once, our eyes were our only instruments, but today, our reach extends across the cosmos. From Hubble’s steadfast watch to Webb’s golden gaze, we have built machines that see the unseen, unraveling the secrets written in starlight.
Each telescope is a sentinel in the void, Hubble, Webb, the upcoming Roman, and not too long from now, the Habitable Worlds Observatory, each revealing new chapters of the universe’s story. Together, they form a fellowship of discovery, driven by the minds and hearts of those who dare to look deeper, to ask what else is out there.
Narrated by the legendary John Rhys-Davies, this film is a tribute to exploration, to science, and to the boundless curiosity that defines us. The Fellowship of the Telescopes endures, lighting the way toward the next great frontier.
