Heavens above! Jeremy Likness in Newport, Oregon, captured this view of the nebula called Ghost of Cassiopeia and the brilliant star Navi last Thursday. Beautiful, thank you, Jeremy! It does look kind of ghostly, doesn't it? 🌌📸

The 4th Supermoon of 2023 is tonight. The Sept. full moon is known as the Harvest Moon because it is the closest to the Autumn Equinox. We hope you have a howling good (and safe) time tonight.

Welcome back Frank!

Welcome home, Frank!

The single longest spaceflight for any of our @NASA_Astronauts comes to a close. Frank Rubio is back on Earth after 371 days. His extended mission to the @Space_Station will help us shape the future of deep space exploration.

We are honored to be on the list. Our Hannaford designed building turns 150 this month! https://t.co/XGzmMr5oIZ

Our experts are talking about the upcoming "ring of fire" eclipse, the best ways to watch, and the science of eclipses in a live event on Tuesday, Sept. 26.

Listen in for the details on Oct. 14's solar eclipse: https://t.co/JqtA56TlcA

This is the age of Sagittarius! Sagittarius! Ooops, wrong lyrics. Sagittarius looks more like a tea kettle than an archer. The constellation represents the Centaur of greek mythology, Chiron, who unlike his brethren, was an intellectual and became a teacher.

This artistic rendering of a cat in space created by a guest this summer, isn't far off the mark. There has been, to date, one instance of a cat going into space (nope, that movie from 1978). It was a French feline named Felicette.

Meet Franklin Chang-Dìaz, one of the first non-military scientists to regularly fly on space shuttle missions. He grew up in Costa Rica and went on to earn his PhD in Plasma Physics.

So, is it an ooey, gooey nougat center like Mars (you know, the bar)? Or something more? NASA determines what is at the center of Mercury. https://t.co/sG9Or7wOmz

Astronaut Tracy C. Dyson has been scheduled for her next mission to the @Space_Station! Dyson, whose first trip to space was aboard space shuttle Endeavour, is set to lift off in March 2024 on a Soyuz spacecraft for her six-month expedition. Details: https://t.co/6HqT3gvA78

Sister to the more famous William, Caroline Herschel deserves her own recognition for contributions to astronomy.

What does it sound like during an eclipse?

Our newest citizen science project will study how insects and animals respond to the upcoming annular and total solar eclipses. Find out how you can @DoNASAScience: https://t.co/N29B6bRYym

@FOX19Catherine @FOX19 Thanks for coming in! It's always a pleasure to see you.

Burrrp! Oh, excuse me says the black hole never. Recently scientists have discovered that black holes suffer indigestion for years and then suddenly belch out fragments of stars they have consumed. https://t.co/wMW81ZcyDZ

Summer 2023 was the hottest summer in NASA’s record, continuing a trend of long-term warming caused by human activity.

All three summer months broke heat records: https://t.co/fAbXthgoP4
