Excellence In Space, Innovation For Earth

[NASA @NASA]

Two years ago, we launched the #Artemis I mission to the Moon and back.

Since then, we selected the Artemis II astronauts, who are training for the first crewed launch of @NASA_Orion, landed commercial payloads on the Moon, and continue to progress with our partners.

Package delivered 📦

#ICYMI: @NASA’s @SpaceX CRS-31 mission successfully arrived at the @Space_Station delivering over 6,000 pounds of science, supplies, and hardware.

The spacecraft will stay docked to the orbiting laboratory for about one month before splashing down and returning critical science and hardware to teams on Earth.

Deep down, in an ocean beneath its ice shell, Jupiter’s moon Europa might be temperate & nutrient-rich, an ideal environment for some form of life — what we call “habitable." Our @EuropaClipper mission, launched on Oct. 14, aims to find out.

Here's how: https://t.co/dpA1IFvnWF

#Crew9 is going for a Sunday drive... in space!

We're relocating the Crew-9 Dragon spacecraft to a different port on the @Space_Station to prepare for an upcoming cargo launch to the orbiting laboratory. Live coverage begins at 6:15am ET on Nov. 3: https://t.co/KfsjMcbh6y

Astronomers mapped out a highway to the… danger zones! in a star cluster.

Planets are less likely to form in these areas due to destructive X-rays and ultraviolet radiation, as seen in data from @ChandraXray and our now-retired Spitzer Space Telescope: https://t.co/vWELS86WEl

We are one hour from the launch of our @EuropaClipper spacecraft, set to explore Jupiter's ocean moon that may hold the ingredients for life. Watch here: https://t.co/mWg7gqB397

NGC 5248 is a spiral full of starbursts.

This #HubbleFriday galaxy's winding spiral arms are home to bright regions of intense star formation.

It even has two ring-shaped starburst regions around its center, filled with young clusters of stars: https://t.co/5DrgicT8Dd

Happy World Space Week!

Today through Oct. 10, follow along with the #WSW2024 theme of "Space & Climate Change" as we share the latest updates from around our @NASAEarth — and across the @NASAUniverse. Learn more about our changing planet: https://t.co/7YEVNhkGrz

Sometimes the universe smiles back!

In the center of this image, taken with @NASAHubble, is the galaxy cluster SDSS J1038+4849 — and it seems to be smiling. Why? Because of gravitational lensing! Learn more about it here: https://t.co/RYPjU6Rp4z

🌫️ Venus has clouds of sulfuric acid, making it one of the hottest places in the solar system! #VenusFacts #100HoursOfAstronomy

[Ghana Space Science & Technology Institute @Gssti_Gaec]

Venus experiences a runaway greenhouse effect. 🌡️ Its thick atmosphere traps so much heat that surface temperatures can melt lead! #VenusGreenhouse #HotPlanet #100HoursofAstronomy

Neptune is blue because of methane! 💙 The gas absorbs red light and reflects blue, giving Neptune its signature color. #NeptuneBlue #PlanetColors #100HoursofAstronomy
