@FoodNetwork Please stop using theater fog, it is air pollution, hazardous levels of PM2.5. Take an air quality sensor and measure it. PM2.5 is linked to heart attack, stroke, cancers, lung disease, GI disease, etc.

@FoodNetwork @GuyFieri That theater fog smoke on the show is air pollution. Should stop using it.

@CREWcrew But Musk does tell people to sleep at the office, like him. He is the real leader, he needs to be accountable.

@KamalaHarris Appreciate your gracious words. It is very sad that this morning a student jumped off our university parking garage and passed away. I'm sure they were struggling with so much, but there is darkness and sadness with what has happened lately.

Your order was delivered… to the Moon! 📦

@Int_Machines' uncrewed lunar lander landed at 6:23pm ET (2323 UTC), bringing NASA science to the Moon's surface. These instruments will prepare us for future human exploration of the Moon under #Artemis.

Japan's SLIM spacecraft lands on moon. JAXA said that the solar panel on SLIM is not functioning. The malfunction of SLIM's solar panel could reduce the time that the craft will be able to operate. 

Slim choose one of the most challenging terrain for soft landing.

JAXA Update on SLIM:

Lander did land, they have comms, but the solar cell is not generating electricity. On battery power. Trying to maximize science.

LEV separated as planned but JAXA needs more time to gather data.

Touchdown for the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM)!🌕🚀🇯🇵 Japan is now the 5th nation to complete a #lunarlanding & has taken 1 giant step forward in the @NASAArtemis mission preparations. Congrats to everyone involved! Learn more here: https://t.co/JLWvDjpRvO

#japan -5th nation to soft-land on the #moon ❤️🇯🇵🫡

"We believe that the soft-landing itself was successful..if the descent from 10kms height didn't happen well, it would've crashed..but, it is still sending us data properly. Soft-landing successful" #JAXA official

SLIM’s mission does not end with landing!
I’ll observe the surroundings to investigate the mystery of the Moon’s formation.
Let’s take a closer look at this olivine with my multiband camera (MBC) and compare it to that on Earth 👀

Here's the final few of days of #SLIM around the Moon.

After today's orbital change the final orbital changes occur during the final orbit at apolune and then perilune just before landing.

So SLIM is all setup it appears for the final sequence of the landing attempt.

2 days left until the #SLIM lunar landing! 🛰️
This is footage from the landing operation rehersal, where you can feel the tension!
Do join us tomorrow 📺

Update #5 for Peregrine Mission One:

[NASA @NASA]

We are working with @Astrobotic to identify the root cause of the propulsion issue and evaluate how it affects NASA’s five science investigations aboard the spacecraft.

Space is hard. We support our vendors and look forward to learning all we can. https://t.co/0J9gbuuUCh

[NASA @NASA]

After a successful launch this morning, Astrobotic is assessing a propulsion issue with its lunar lander. Check @Astrobotic for updates.

Each mission is an opportunity to learn. We're proud to work with our partners to advance exploration of the Moon. https://t.co/NARUSW6RiA

[Astrobotic @astrobotic]

From development and testing on Earth through a soft touch down on the lunar surface, the Peregrine lunar lander has five distinct mission phases, each with its own unique objectives:

[Thomas Zurbuchen @Dr_ThomasZ]

And @astrobotic has communication with their new spacecraft #PeregrineMissionOne 📡

[NASA @NASA]

Our scientific payloads launch to the Moon with @Astrobotic and @ULALaunch. This is the first American commercial robotic lunar launch and the next step in our mission to explore the Moon with #Artemis. https://t.co/96BR0dV6iz
