NASA Astrophysics: Year 2024 Highlights

2024 was an exciting year for astrophysics. There were fascinating discoveries by missions new and old, new instruments launched, and older instruments getting ready for unprecedented repairs in space. Several upcoming NASA missions continued their steps toward completion. SPHEREx is launching in 2025 and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will launch no later than May 2027. Meanwhile, the Habitable Worlds Observatory is beginning its development as a next-generation space telescope. Building off this strong success, 2025 will be a great year for astrophysics at NASA.
