Even in darkness, we glow.
In this image of Earth taken by the Artemis II crew, we can see the electric lights of human activity. In the lower right, sunlight illuminates the limb of the planet.
Liftoff.
The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.
Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

New eyes on the universe 👀
#OTD in 2002, Hubble's Servicing Mission 3B launched. Astronauts installed a new instrument, the Advanced Camera for Surveys, that increased Hubble's scientific abilities 10-fold: https://t.co/1sgb8NEAKl
🚨: Astronomers have discovered the largest reservoir of water in the known universe — holding an astonishing 140 trillion times more water than all of Earth's oceans combined.
Located 12 billion light-years away, this mind-bending find reshapes what we know about the role of water in the cosmos.
The four @SpaceX Crew-12 members with @Astro_Jessica, @Astro_Hathaway, @Soph_Astro, and Andrey Fedyaev docked in their Dragon spacecraft to the orbiting complex at 3:15pm ET today. https://t.co/y5V4O2wFtl
LIVE: Watch as Crew-12 arrives at the @Space_Station! Docking is scheduled for 3:15pm ET (2015 UTC), with the hatches opening around 5pm ET (2200 UTC). https://t.co/B6mtd21msU
The carbon budget doesn't balance.
Curiosity found more organic material than geology should be able to produce.
Something else was at work here🦥
#MarsRover#NASA#life
By studying samples analyzed by the Curiosity rover, scientists have taken another step toward understanding whether life could have ever existed on Mars.
A new study suggests that non-biological sources cannot fully account for the abundance of organic compounds found in a sample collected by the rover.
