This dress, now on display in "The Art of Air and Space," honors Katherine Johnson, who helped calculate NASA’s first human spaceflights. She solved complex math problems. A piece of textile art by Catherine Stewart, the dress shows equations, symbols, and diagrams from a paper she co-wrote about lunar orbits.
Curiosity has delivered a new 360-degree panorama from Mars. “We’ve seen a lot of fascinating landscapes through Curiosity’s eyes, but this sea of polygons took our breath away,” said the mission’s project scientist. 1/2

One giant leap for mankind
History was made on July 20, 1969, when Apollo 11's Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first to set foot on the Moon.
For more than 5 decades, the total number of moonwalkers has remained at 12. NASA will change that with Artemis IV.
You know what actually keeps neighborhoods cooler in the summer? TREES. Literally trees. Stop cutting them down for data centers and then acting shocked when our cities turn into ovens. Give us our damn trees back. We don’t need another data center.
“How did we go from paper straws to data centres?”
no one listened to the environmentalists who said unchecked corporate pollution was the bigger issue.
The official FIFA World Cup ball went to space!

I know there's disappointment about Artemis III not having a single woman on it. My heart dropped a little, too. But these astronauts deserve the same support we gave the Artemis II crew; their dreams are being realized, too. They're paving the way for Artemis IV, the mission that'll land astronauts back on the Moon for the first time in over 50 years. Given that no woman has EVER landed on the Moon, Artemis IV is the mission I'd expect women on. For now, I'll cheer the Artemis III crew on!
The next chapter of lunar exploration is closer than many realize.
Later this year, we’ll begin robotic landings near the Moon’s South Pole, laying the foundation for a sustained human presence on the Moon.
Tune in for our @NASAMoonBase update this afternoon.
We're building a Moon Base!
@NASAMoonBase will serve as a habitat where astronauts live and work during long-term science missions.
Join us at 2pm ET on Tuesday, May 26, for a live news event where we’ll share updates on our lunar exploration plans: https://t.co/IJXA7xYwju
