Powered by data, driven by discovery, made for everyone.

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

Two scientists. One unforgettable view of our planet.

What's it like to see the Artemis II Earthrise image through the eyes of a lunar scientist? How about an oceanographer? Jacob Richardson & Ivona Cetinic are here to tell us.

[International Space Station @Space_Station]

Planting the seeds for deep space exploration! 🌱🚀

Astronauts on the space station are continuing to test ways to grow fresh food in microgravity using plant pillows, advancing @NASAScience_ research on seed storage and crop growth capabilities for future exploration missions.

Day meets night at the lunar terminator. 🌗

The @NASAArtemis II crew highlighted this shadowy frontier during their close encounter in April. Now it’s your turn to explore! No spaceship needed.

[NASA Universe @NASAUniverse]

With its quick reflexes, flexible scheduling, and multiwavelength vision, our Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory has made discoveries with nearly every NASA space telescope during its 22 years in space.

As the mission winds down, let’s see how Swift’s collaborations have helped us unravel the mysteries of the cosmos.

A powerful launch. Big questions about life in space 🚀

Now on the @Space_Station, four NASA investigations will study brain cells, crop disease, astronaut health monitoring, and antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

What we learn could help protect crews and support future exploration.

One step closer to boots on the Moon! 🌙

To prepare for Moon Base, NASA needs to know what physical tasks crews can handle immediately after landing—and Artemis II provided some insight.

Soon after splashdown, the crew suited up and tackled mission-critical tasks, demonstrating successful performance within hours of their return.

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

From the Artemis II crew, to the lunar science team, to you. 🌒🫶

Six months have passed since humanity’s most recent visit to the Moon, and a huge library of data from their journey is now available to explore. Get the story: https://t.co/VTUbJMrjIa

[NASA Science @NASAScience_]

AVATAR-Org1 launched this morning and is on its way to @Space_Station! 🧠

Following AVATAR’s journey around the Moon on @NASAArtemis II, this new investigation will study lab-grown brain tissue to better understand how spaceflight affects human health.

@NASAArtemis Because of its small footprint, the flywheel will be central to fitness regimens for future Artemis crews.

[NASA Science @NASAScience_]

Fitness goals don’t stop in space 💪

During their mission, @NASAArtemis II astronauts used a compact device, the flywheel, similar to a rowing machine, for daily exercise. Using the device helped the crew maintain muscle strength on their mission.

Ready to make an impact!?

The @NASAArtemis II crew spotted lunar impact flashes, brief flickers from space rocks hitting the Moon. Their data matched reports from Earth-based volunteers. Grab your telescope and join the Impact Flash! project today: https://t.co/8dNuEj8qL8

[NASA Mars @NASAMars]

Media are invited to join NASA for a teleconference at 4 p.m. EDT, Thursday, Oct. 15, to preview the agency’s contributions to @JAXA_en's Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission, which will explore the Red Planet's moons and return a sample of Phobos.

[NASA Universe @NASAUniverse]

Our planet-hunting TESS mission has reached an exciting milestone: over 1,000 of the exoplanet candidates it has discovered since its 2018 launch have been confirmed!

Let’s explore some of these intriguing worlds beyond our solar system … 🧵

[NASA Science @NASAScience_]

That’s the power of making NASA science openly available. 🌙

[NASA Science @NASAScience_]

The data is out. So what happens next?

Scientists, researchers, students, and curious minds around the world can dig in, ask new questions, and collaborate to deepen our understanding of the Moon. What we learn today can help inform future lunar missions as we explore the Moon and prepare to go farther.

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

A huge library of Artemis II data just dropped! Science is a relay race, and today marks the latest in a long series of handoffs. 814 GB of observations. 996 new images. 521 min of never-before-released crew audio.
