It's the Hubble Space Telescope's 35th birthday. I see a lots of pictures being posted, for me the most important images it took were the images that uncovered what stars look like that explode as core-collapse supernovae.
E.g. this from Mattila et al. (2008) (ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2008ApJ....)

Wow!
Just an incredible sequence of images of Thursday night's lunar eclipse, seen from Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lander.

Truly amazing!
Just incredible news on reviving Voyager I.
Think of it: a computer chip 15 billion(!) miles away is broken. The solution is to repackage & move key software, w/ code sent via radio signal that takes 22+ hrs to reach that little 46yr old machine.
AND IT IS WORKING.
