A look at the premiere of our Moonwalkers show last week:

Orange soil discovered on the Moon by #Apollo17 astronauts Jack Schmitt and Gene Cernan at Shorty Crater on Dec. 12, 1972.

"Quite frankly, when Jack said he saw orange soil, I began to wonder if he hadn't been on the Moon too long. Until I saw it myself." https://t.co/4qEVhnovS9

You are here.

In 2013, the Cassini spacecraft captured this wide-angle view of Saturn and a chunk of its rings. That pale blue dot just below the rings? That’s Earth from about 898 million miles (1.4 billion kilometers) away. Explore @NASASolarSystem: https://t.co/9sLPATJHaE

The Big Dipper is partially reflected in the Opal Pool in Yellowstone NP. But there’s more to it. I highlighted a very inconspicuous star, with a very unfriendly name: HD 84406. This is a star in Ursa Major being used to align @NASAWebb's honeycomb-shaped mirrors.
