Researchers, engineers, and technical staff continued to advance the field of astronomy through their published research in 2021, even as the coronavirus pandemic and its accompanying challenges stretched through a second year. More than 500 papers were co-authored with researchers from almost 60 countries, illustrating that astronomy is a global endeavor that endures even when in-person collaboration is curtailed. From studying ultra-faint dwarf galaxies alongside Korean colleagues, to exoplanet discoveries with collaborators in Morocco, STScI researchers continued to conduct exciting research with colleagues around the globe.
