NASA will showcase exciting astronomical discoveries from its missions at the 245th meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) from Jan. 12-16 in National Harbor, Maryland. Key discoveries include new insights on the early universe, black holes, supernovae, and exoplanets. Press conferences and town halls, streamed live on the AAS Press Office YouTube channel, will highlight findings from missions like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), Hubble Space Telescope, and Chandra X-ray Observatory.

Notable sessions include a look at the upcoming SPHEREx all-sky infrared survey and findings from NASA’s NuSTAR, NICER, and Webb, focusing on black hole behavior, supernovae, and galactic formation. Special sessions will delve into future missions such as Pandora, Roman, and LISA. Registered attendees can also hear from experts during scheduled town halls on the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope and JWST.

NASA’s exhibit will feature mission insights, with talks on everything from galaxy evolution to X-ray telescopes aboard the International Space Station.
