We are likely to experience a new warmest year on record in the next 5 years.
New @WMO & @metoffice report shows that annual global mean near-surface temperatures from 2026–2030 are likely to range between 1.3°C - 1.9°C above the 1850-1900 average.

Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
Want to hear more from the Artemis II astronauts?
Fresh off their return to Earth, the crew will hold a news conference at 2:30pm ET (1830 UTC) on Thursday, April 16, to discuss their mission: https://t.co/QeJ2egaUuS
New photos from the Moon!
We're continuing to unveil new images from the Artemis II mission—including these two photos from April 6, showing a crescent Earthrise and a closeup of the lunar farside. Keep up with the latest: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl
🌖 Once in a blue moon, history changes forever.
This month, @Astro_Christina became the first woman to fly on a Moon mission.
On #HumanSpaceflightDay, we celebrate her and all women shaping our future beyond Earth.
Give women a seat on the spaceship 🚀

The European Service Module put on a powerful demonstration of Europe’s capability to deliver critical elements for ambitious international exploration missions. On behalf of @ESA, I would like to sincerely thank all our industrial partners across Europe for their dedication, professionalism and relentless focus on quality.
This success reflects years of close cooperation, engineering excellence and trust between ESA and European industry. In particular, I would like to recognise @AirbusSpace, as prime contractor of this complex and truly pan‑European effort.
Welcome home to the crew!
