Earth, we’ve got your back. As we enter our third decade of planetary defense, find out how we track and study near-Earth asteroids, predict close approaches and keep an eye on the skies: https://t.co/jKgLhzRZXa
Our newest space botanist – a mission named #ECOSTRESS – has collected its 1st science data on Earth’s surface temp. From the vantage point of @Space_Station, ECOSTRESS will allow researchers to determine how much H2O plants use & study impacts of drought https://t.co/M2kpoKsbAF
#DYK that oceans cover over 70% of Earth’s surface & influence our atmosphere, weather + climate? To uncover the many intricate, life-filled secrets hidden beneath the ocean’s waves, researchers are developing new tech. More in the latest @NASAScienceCast: https://t.co/OWFv13aOzK
We are now targeting Aug. 11, 2018, for the launch of Parker #SolarProbe. During final inspections following the encapsulation of the spacecraft, a small strip of foam was found inside the fairing and additional time is needed for inspection. Full details: https://t.co/nTvJueniJK

On May 5, we’ll do something that we’ve never done before…launch a spacecraft to another planet from the West Coast! Join us as we countdown to T-Zero for the launch of @NASAInSight, which will travel to Mars to study the planet’s deep interior. Watch: https://t.co/HFZzYVqJUy
This lone active region on the Sun was eyed by our @NASASun observatory putting on a fiery display with its tangled magnetic field lines swaying and twisting above it from April 24 to 26. Take a look: https://t.co/8IleFVLT0E
Not only is Ganymede the largest moon in our solar system, but it's also the only moon with its own magnetic field. Our scientists got a closer look at that magnetic environment by analyzing old data from @NASA's Galileo mission, which ended in 2003: https://t.co/f66Dxp2QyY
how is this related to meteors? Be ready to discuss as when we discover meteors, meteorites and meteoroids on Thursday. #RockinSTEM https://t.co/vV9IsyGetJ
Every second, every square meter of Earth’s atmosphere is pelted by 1000s of high-energy particles traveling at nearly the speed of light. Discover how & why we use @NASAFermi Space Telescope to study these zippy little assailants called cosmic rays: https://t.co/u3vKlwtIpe
I try to infuse this in all areas by asking for comments/explanations, agree/disagree in all subject areas. Encouraging natural convo by having Ss jump in & not put up hand waiting for me. Was inspired by @Peter Johnson. #choice words https://t.co/t6kUyL2vqN
Saturn’s rings display their subtle colors in this 2009 @CassiniSaturn view showing how the particles that make up the rings range in size from smaller than a grain of sand to as large as mountains. Take a look: https://t.co/suhzGZS2Ms
