Opening the road to space; Senior FMSA Engineer @blueorigin; MER Opportunity FD (MER FLIGHT); Cassini ACE; opinions my own #AspiringAstronaut#GradatimFerociter
I’m going to space!
As the first Black woman confirmed to fly with @BlueOrigin on #NewShepard, I am expected to be the sixth Black woman to cross the Kármán line – the internationally recognized boundary of space!
From Mars to 🌎 – with rocks.
The Mars Sample Return team is practicing each step to ensure our sample tubes can survive their long journey back to Earth – from robotic handling to mimicking the landing environment, including final decent! Watch our latest #MarsReport.
🔎 The combination of Webb’s super powerful vision and a magnifying trick of gravity is allowing astronomers to resolve things never before seen in the early universe. Let’s dive into the mysteries of distant galaxy MACS0647-JD: https://t.co/W6ZdvVqkIb

@SeaAndSeashells @hunt_harriet I agree, JPL still has a DEI issue. But it is far better today than it was when I left, thanks in no small part to folks like @PlanetaryKeri and many others who keep holding senior leaders accountable. IMO, @LaurieofMars was the best hire for the Lab to address this issue.
Sound up! 🔊 When the #JunoMission spacecraft buzzed low over Jupiter's moon Europa recently, its Waves instrument measured the density of plasma near the intriguing ocean world – and here's that data converted into audible sound. More: https://t.co/5TRTI1IMGI
Knot your average discovery 🥨
We thought there was just one, but Webb revealed there are at least 3 galaxies forming a cosmic knot around this quasar. A quasar is a super bright galactic core, powered by a supermassive black hole. https://t.co/wiFgbPw7dR
Let's untangle this👇
Behold…the Pillars of Creation!
Using @NASAWebb's NIRCam, we're able to see this iconic star-forming region in a new way. See those wavy lines that look like lava at the edges of the pillars? These are baby stars that are forming within the gas & dust: https://t.co/CGaIpmAROf

@hunt_harriet Leaving my PhD program for a full-time opportunity at JPL was the best decision I ever made. Life has a funny way of opening the right doors for you at the least expected times.
The 2022 Lunar Surface Innovation Consortium Fall Meeting will be held at @UTEP and virtually on Nov. 2-3. Don't miss updates on technology focus areas like surface power, dust mitigation, excavation & construction and more. Register today: https://t.co/CjYznOYSpo
Hi there, #LucyMission! In this long exposure from Southern California, the passing Lucy spacecraft appears as a streak of light near the top of the image. To the left, a meteor makes a fainter streak as it happens to enter the atmosphere in the same moment. #WaveToLucy
ULA is nearing completion of the development of the next-generation #VulcanRocket and sets path for its first launch early next year #CountdownToVulcan
