Newfoundlander Bethany Downer has added an impressive new title to her resume.
Downer, who has been training for a foray into space, has started a new position as the Chief Communications Officer with the Hubble Space Telescope.
She’s been working with the Hubble Space Telescope with the European Space Agency for the last two years.
It's #Monday and you know that that means: A new #Hubble image! Today we featured NGC 1947. Roughly 40 million light-years away, this galaxy shows off its structure by backlighting its remaining faint gas and dust disc with millions of stars.

Now Downer is responsible for all the outreach for the telescope from the European Space Agency side of things. That involves taking the raw data gathered by the telescope and finding ways to communicate that to the public.
Downer says the telescope, which was launched in 1990, has been “blowing the science community away” with the images and data it’s collected.
As for her own trip into space, Downer says that may be another few years down the road, but she’s confident it will be sometime in the next five to ten years.
