So close now! I’m psyched for Lucy’s flyby of Donaldjohanson - tomorrow, April 20 at 1:51pm ET!

[NASA Solar System @NASASolarSystem]

Lucy is dialed in!

The spacecraft is on course for its flyby of the small main belt asteroid Donaldjohanson. Lucy is anticipated to pass approximately 600 miles (960 km) from the asteroid at 1:51 PM ET.

DAVINCI is a cool mission to a hot (and high pressure and acidic) Venus! Love working with this incredible team at Goddard and across our partners 🤩

Thrilled to see this new analysis by my brilliant colleague Kathy Mandt! It offers important insights into the story of water in the solar system and on our home planet 🌎

[ARCHIVED – NASA Astrobiology @NASAAstrobio]

A NASA-led team found that water on Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko has a molecular makeup similar to Earth's oceans. This challenges earlier findings and supports the idea that Jupiter-family comets could have delivered water to Earth, a key element for the development of life. https://t.co/VlG7ysVdGq

Exciting new experimental results keeping our enthusiasm up for Europa Clipper and future chances to explore the ocean worlds of the outer solar system!

[ARCHIVED – NASA Astrobiology @NASAAstrobio]

Results from new experiments suggest that if the oceans of Europa or Enceladus support life, signs of that life, in the form of organic molecules, could survive just under the surface ice despite exposure to harsh radiation. https://t.co/zv7l17kNH6

15 years of spectacular lunar science. Keep it coming, LRO!

[ARCHIVED - NASA Moon @NASAMoon]

Happy 15 years at the Moon to our Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter!

The longest-lived lunar spacecraft has mapped the Moon in detail, observed new impact craters, found likely locations of water ice, and built the foundation for a new era of lunar exploration with @NASAArtemis.

[ARCHIVED - Dr. Nicky Fox @NASAScienceAA]

Today, @NASA and @ESA signed a memorandum of understanding, formalizing their cooperation on the ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover.

This rover’s unique drilling capabilities and onboard samples laboratory have outstanding scientific value for humanity’s search for evidence of past life on Mars. We look forward to contributing key elements to this mission and our continued partnership with Europe. https://t.co/VsKtkl7dN4

Eclipse glasses - check!
Path of totality - check!
Happy eclipse eve, everyone 🤩

[ARCHIVED - NASA Moon @NASAMoon]

If you're looking forward to the #eclipse on Monday, you have the Moon to thank. It's only due to the Moon blocking the Sun that we can observe and learn more of the solar corona. Here's all you need to know about the Moon's role in the eclipse. #TeamMoon https://t.co/TID3i96Pij

[NASA Goddard @NASAGoddard]

Goddard goes to the Moon! 🌕 Next week, two NASA Goddard projects will be on the first commercial robotic launch to the Moon, as part of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative. 🧵

Stay cool, OSIRIS-APEX!

[NASA Solar System @NASASolarSystem]

🔥 2024 is coming in hot. Today, as part of its extended mission to the asteroid Apophis, OSIRIS-APEX makes its closest approach to the Sun ever – exposing the spacecraft to higher temperatures than it was designed to endure. https://t.co/kYUhEoMKV5

Spectacular images from the Lucy flyby of asteroid Dinkinesh - a surprise binary! 🤩

[NASA Solar System @NASASolarSystem]

This is why we explore. Turns out that asteroid Dinkinesh is… asteroids Dinkinesh? During the #LucyMission’s first asteroid flyby on Nov. 1, we discovered that the main belt asteroid is a party of two, or binary pair! https://t.co/3aYWLvWmOw

Welcome home, OSIRIS-REx Sample Return Capsule! And congratulations to this spectacularly talented team!

[NASA Solar System @NASASolarSystem]

Touchdown! The #OSIRISREx asteroid sample has landed on Earth. Chills. Tears. High-fives. Joyful jumps.

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

On the icy crust of Jupiter's moon Europa, Webb has discovered carbon dioxide that likely originated in the liquid water ocean below. Understanding the chemistry of this ocean could help determine if it is a good place for life as we know it: https://t.co/tGLrJrVsyl

Go LRO and go Artemis II! (and of course III and IV and beyond!)

[Bill Nelson @SenBillNelson]

The power of data! @NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has been gathering scientific insights about the Moon for over 14 years. Now, its valuable data is helping pave the way for #Artemis II in 2024. Learn more: https://t.co/acUvE12HGg

How did life begin on Earth? This fundamental question is a driving force behind our @NASAAstrobio research. Understanding it could inform us about the potential for life to exist beyond our planet: https://t.co/ZKNjbw8fh6
