“I’ve got the world in my window.”
Michael Collins snapped this photo of the lunar module returning to the command module after landing on the Moon. With the Earth in the background, all of humanity is in this photograph, save Collins himself.
It's pretty quiet on the Moon...packing a music player in your #NASAMoonKit might not be such a bad idea. 🎶 The Apollo astronauts were even treated to some delightful wake-up music during their missions. https://t.co/DcMULfAhqN
#Artemis I will be an uncrewed test of @NASA_Orion & @NASA_SLS as an integrated system ahead of crewed flights to the Moon. Under the Artemis program, NASA aims to land the first woman & the next man on the Moon by 2024 🚀🌙

A researcher recently found a form of iron oxide, or rust, on the Moon. Rust forms when iron is exposed to oxygen and water. The Moon isn't supposed to have liquid water, so how can it be rusting?

In just a few years, we’ll send humans to the Moon, but this time to the South Pole. This data visualization shows sunlight and shadows at the South Pole over a year. Check out the craters in permanent shadow, which are so cold they contain water ice 🧊🕳️ https://t.co/lXPBp4WwAx
#Juneteenth commemorates the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned of their emancipation. In this view from space, Galveston is seen from the @Space_Station. Today we reflect on how far we've come and how much further we have to go.
