It's #BlackHoleFriday! Here are 5 reasons why you wouldn't want to live near a black hole. Even if that seems like a cool idea. Would not recommend. https://go.nasa.gov/33ljpA7  #BlackFridaypic.twitter.com/HrnsZzWye9

#BlackHoleFriday mysteries for #NASAWebb help solve: black hole/host galaxy relationships what happens to the nuclei of colliding galaxies how did the 1st black holes form? how do you weigh a black hole? (More: https://go.nasa.gov/2KVXZDb )pic.twitter.com/hfVbuuNfad

It's #blackholeFriday and @NASAUniverse has some safety tips to consider should you decide to visit one. (Spoiler: Don't. It makes braving #BlackFriday shopping seem like a good idea!) https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13322 pic.twitter.com/PAkqTH11BB

It's #BlackHoleFriday again! What is a black hole? It's an object so dense that not even light can escape it! It's hard to separate fact from science fiction when it comes to understanding black holes, but this explainer will help you out: https://go.nasa.gov/2Oo29G5  #BlackFridaypic.twitter.com/fItyroktWU

This is a segment made for #NASAScienceLive: A Telescope Like a Time Machine. Producer Sophia Roberts takes viewers inside @NorthropGrumman’s cleanroom facility to show the recently integrated #NASAWebb. Download here: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13353 pic.twitter.com/qzUpn2DH7i

Tiny galactic companions of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies—including the Sculptor dwarf galaxy—will give @NASAWebb scientists a big boost in understanding galaxy formation and the mysteries of dark matter: https://go.nasa.gov/35xo8A7 pic.twitter.com/O0sqVtgGhz

The #NASAWebb Public Outreach media team regularly documents the telescope's progress alongside engineers and technicians. The footage informs managers of daily developments and tells stories about the mission as a whole. This video shoot celebrates the integration of Webb.pic.twitter.com/tICbFTCN8w

Beware the Eye of Sauron! Oh wait, this is a @NASAHubble photo. The iris-like glow comes from a dusty disk around a young sun-like star. #NASAWebb will study it to see if its composition resembles dust in the outer reaches of our solar system.

Want to build your own paper model of #NASAWebb? We have several options, including a new simple model (pictured), appropriate for 4th grade and up! You can find them all here, along with a gallery of photos submitted to us: https://go.nasa.gov/2NLb308 pic.twitter.com/gjuXpsnPrt

For those hard to reach places, technicians and engineers use various styles of lifts and platforms to ensure they have the best angle of approach to work on the observatory.pic.twitter.com/IVIfTMSi01

After the telescope and sunshield were joined, technicians did a careful inspection of the entire observatory, before moving on to electronically connect all of its various interfaces.pic.twitter.com/FTvGZhPXIl

“A telescope's sensitivity, or how much detail it can see, is directly related to the size of the mirror area that collects light from the objects being observed. A larger area collects more light, just like a larger bucket collects more water in a rain shower than a small one."pic.twitter.com/qLgxqx1kV6

Success! The telescope and spacecraft halves of #NASAWebb are now one whole observatory. Read more about this August 2019 milestone: https://go.nasa.gov/2znr2JV pic.twitter.com/wQ7kq8y4gT

Almost there... The telescope is over the sunshield and ready to be lowered.pic.twitter.com/WbUP2C9QeQ

A rare view from underneath #NASAWebb's iconic primary mirror, as it moves into position over its spacecraft during integration.pic.twitter.com/dIlKvAr2bg

This photo from @northropgrumman shows the start of integration. The telescope is seen hanging from a crane, in the process of being moved over the sunshield.pic.twitter.com/nnyZNJWkZa
