Among the honorees, the website for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory picked up a People’s Voice Award, as did the JPL-managed Eyes on Asteroids visualization tool.

NASA has earned one Webby award and five People’s Voice awards in the 27th annual Webby Awards, recognizing excellence on the internet. The award is NASA’s 27th Webby Award since 1998 and represents the agency’s commitment to creating engaging and educational digital communications.

NASA’s 2023 Webby award-winning entry, selected by a panel of judges, is How Hubble Images Are Made (NASA, Webby winner for Best Video, Science and Education). As a cosmic photographer, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has taken over a million snapshots documenting the universe. These images illustrate, explain, and inspire us with their grandeur. But how are those images taken and processed? This video explains the answer to that question.
