Cosmic Origins Early Career Workshops

NASA’s Cosmic Origins Program is excited to invite you to our Early Career Workshops. They have been designed to support and empower the next generation of astrophysics leaders and principal investigators.

Cosmic Origins Second Early Career Workshop

  • 20-22 October 2026

    The workshop aims to provide insights to early career scientists about the wide range of work done in the Cosmic Origins Program, to explain and demonstrate the tools and opportunities available to them, and to answer any questions they may have.

    We hope that Cosmic Origins will help you to become more engaged in NASA Astrophysics: learning about funding and observing opportunities, NASA’s plans for current and future instruments and missions, and how to advocate for the most important science goals of the coming decades, and the technology needed to achieve these goals.

Angled from the upper left corner to the lower right corner is a cone-shaped orange-red cloud known as Herbig-Haro 49/50. This feature takes up about three-fourths of the length of this angle. The upper left end of this feature has a translucent, rounded end. The conical feature widens slightly from the rounded end at the upper right down to the lower right. Along the cone there are additional rounded edges, like edges of a wave, and intricate foamy-like details, as well as a clearer view of the black background of space. In the upper left, overlapping with the rounded end of Herbig-Haro 49/50, is a background spiral galaxy with a concentrated blue center that fades outward to blend with red spiral arms. The background of space is speckled with some white stars and smaller, more numerous, fainter white galaxies throughout.
