A clear night and plenty to discover. ✨ We are looking back at when alumni and friends gathered at Melton Observatory for tours and exploration with USC's physics and astronomy experts. #WorldSpaceWeek

A person wearing glasses and a sweater stands outdoors, looking at something off-camera. Another individual is nearby, interacting with a large telescope. The setting appears to be during dusk or night, with soft lighting.

A group of people stand on a brick pathway at night, looking through telescopes at an outdoor event. Some individuals are holding drinks and wearing casual clothing. Trees are illuminated in the background, creating a lively atmosphere.

Two people are engaged in conversation in a hallway. One person, holding a tote bag, is wearing a cap and glasses. The other, gesturing during the conversation, stands near a banner displaying the words "College of Arts and Sciences." A person in the background is near a desk.

Primo avvistamento dell'anno di Orione nel cielo verso est, in basso poco sopra l'orizzonte, grandissimo: ogni anno, mentre camminando alzo casualmente gli occhi al cielo e mi accorgo del ritorno di Orione, è sempre una sorpresa meravigliosa. #astrophilia #worldspaceweek

Aiming to significantly advance understanding of atmospheric dynamics and storm prediction, @corwinwright.bsky.social and team @uniofbath.bsky.social develop new tools that will allow us to see the full atmospheric wave field for the first time.

Three hearts. Blue blood. Eight arms that taste.

Ainu lore tells of red giant Akkorokamui; in Hawaiʻi, the octopus is a form of Kanaloa. 🌊

A 2018 paper proposed frozen eggs arriving on comets—an unproven idea. ☄️

⚛️ 🧪 What does the future of space #optics look like?

As the cost of accessing space falls, the optics community has a unique opportunity to innovate with disruptive technologies like computational imaging, advanced laser systems and more.

As space agencies prepare to turn brief excursions into long-term stays on the moon and Mars, chemistry shifts from a backstage helper to a leading role.

World Space Week doesn't have to be all about the science.

It's a great time to share Mini Grey's book 'Toys in Space' too, which Busy Things includes an extract of!

For World Space Week 2026, we asked three scientists a simple question: how did you end up working in space?

Remembering Dr. Janice Voss during #WorldSpaceWeek 🚀 & #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth.

An engineer & astronaut, she served as a mission specialist on 5 Shuttle missions & was Science Director for NASA's Kepler Space Observatory. #WomenInSTEM

She was born #OTD in 1956 & died of #breastcancer in 2012.

A candid, documentary-style photograph of American engineer and NASA astronaut Dr. Janice Voss (1956–2012) operating the controls inside a Space Shuttle flight deck in microgravity. Seated at a slight angle and framed from the torso up, she turns back over her right shoulder to look directly at the camera with a bright, joyful, and radiant smile. Her thick brown hair is floating buoyantly upward and backward away from her face, a clear visual indicator of the zero-gravity environment. She is dressed in a dark navy blue crew flight jacket over a red collared shirt. Her left hand rests lightly on a control console above her, while her right hand works near a grid of gray instrument buttons. She is surrounded by the complex, industrial interior of the shuttle cabin, which is packed with densely arranged instrumentation panels, monitors displaying digital data, toggles, wiring bundles, a mounted camera assembly, and an orange flight suit securely strapped to the bulkhead beside her. The natural, unfiltered cabin lighting casts soft shadows across the scene, evoking a professional, inspiring, and triumphant mood. The composition emphasizes her historic significance as a veteran of five spaceflights and a champion for women in STEM fields.

#WorldSpaceWeek 🔭 How can a dragonfly change how we see space?

USC astrophysicist Mehrnoosh Tahani created DragonflyPol, a telescope tool that reveals details ordinary images miss. See how collaborative research is shaping astronomy.

A group of five individuals is gathered around a telescope tuned to polarized light, with visible technical equipment. The caption reads, "A telescope that sees like a dragonfly." The image is labeled #UofSC and #WorldSpaceWeek. A line mentions "University of South Carolina astronomy professor probes deep space.

The dynamo process which produces the magnetic fields that shield planets, remains one of the greatest mysteries of modern physics; Alban Pothérat’s project explores whether the magnetic field itself drives the polar vortex where it’s generated.
