Since arriving at its destination five years ago, our Perseverance Mars rover has collected data that hints at a history of past life on the Red Planet.

This photo illustrates three phenomena that surprised me when I arrived on board the @Space_Station. I didn’t realize before seeing it with my own eyes that the Earth’s atmosphere would be so visible in the night sky, seemingly even more obvious at nighttime than daytime, nor that it would be so colorful! These orange and green colors on the horizon are airglow, a faint emission of light caused by chemical reactions and interactions between UV radiation and gases in our atmosphere (unlike aurora, which is caused by solar wind particles interacting with Earth’s magnetic field, airglow is present everywhere, all of the time). I was also surprised to see how blue and well lit the Earth can be at night, when a bright Moon illuminates it (Moonglow!). This photo was taken on May 30, the day prior to the full Moon. I hope that this provides a bit more @NASAArtemis Moon Joy for all of us!
What's up for June?
The solstice brings summer to the Northern Hemisphere. Jupiter and Venus will appear close together in the night sky, and Mercury will join them soon after. The Moon will also pass in front of Venus on June 17. Learn more: https://t.co/Ujal0GZVJU
Earth looks different from over 250,000 miles away.
Using optical communications, NASA was able to receive high-definition photos and videos during the Artemis II mission while the radio frequency communications focused on mission-critical data. https://t.co/UvL9XOTNGR
Your close personal friends, the @NASAArtemis astronauts (and Rise), can't wait to get home!
In the meantime, enjoy a few new pictures from their camera roll. And watch their return with us live at https://t.co/z1RgZwQkWS.
Fist bump! 👊
The Artemis II crew is now under 35,000 miles from Earth. The astronauts are preparing the spacecraft for reentry and the weather is looking good for splashdown.
But wait, there's more!
These newly released photos show off striking details on the far side of the Moon, like craters of various sizes and basins. See new photos here: https://t.co/yBzg59O7yp
Artemis II is locked in 🔒
As they flew around the Moon, the Artemis II crew took turns capturing science data and taking photos out of the Orion spacecraft window to share with their team back on Earth.
Period poverty affects over 500 million young girls worldwide
You can help eradicate that in Ghana by
supporting our Pads Campaign to provide hygiene kits & education to 500 girls in Sogakope.

Sky full of stars.
Following a successful lunar flyby, the Artemis II astronauts captured this breathtaking photo of our galaxy, the Milky Way, on April 7, 2026.
Hi fam, we’ve raised GH₵3,585 thanks to our amazing donors but we still need GH₵26,415 to reach our goal.
Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us closer to supporting 500 girls with menstrual hygiene education & kits.

🙏
It’s time again for our annual Pads Campaign, which provides menstrual hygiene kits and education to schoolgirls to help them stay in school and manage their periods with dignity.
This year, we aim to reach 500 girls in Sogakope, Volta Region.
Please support this cause.
We're flying around the Moon. Come watch with us.
Live coverage of Artemis II prelaunch activities begins Friday, March 27, when the crew arrives at @NASAKennedy. Here's the full Artemis II event schedule — keep checking back for the latest updates: https://t.co/jroi7BTUA5
SpaceX is planning to build electromagnetic mass drivers on the Moon. These "cannon-like" launch systems would use lunar low gravity and vacuum to efficiently hurl Al satellites into deep space
— without burning rocket propellant.
Elon Musk has described it as a key step toward scaling Al compute far beyond Earth's energy limits, potentially reaching hundreds of terawatts or more by manufacturing satellites on the Moon and launching them at scale. A true sci-fi concept that's now on the roadmap. 🚀🌕
It takes collective action to end period poverty. Help us provide menstrual hygiene kits & education for girls who need them most.
Every donation keeps a girl in school
