Think you can spot a comet? ☄️

Try your eye with the *very first* citizen science project on @the_zooniverse that uses data from NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory, Comet Catchers!

We can't think of a more fitting project for #AsteroidDay 🤩

Thanks everyone for finishing Batch #13! We've started uploading a new batch of curated images! Meanwhile, we’ve got *TWO* new publications out! https://t.co/kkUYIR5jDQ and https://t.co/GpB3hm61ia. Thanks again everyone for all your hard work, we can't do this without you!!

As strange as asteroids with tails may sound, they actually exist! Plus, these objects could hold clues to the mystery of how water in our solar system and beyond was formed. Help us spot them with @DoNASAScience’s Active Asteroids project: https://t.co/P7d4Rf6g0v

@ExoCytherean When I’m on a flight too… surely I should try all the snack boxes to compare? The flight’s over 2 hours, I could starve!

[Stephen Kane @ExoCytherean]

Anyone ever have those moments when you think: Why on Earth did I eat that?? Most commonly happens to me in airports.

[Active Asteroids @ActiveAsteroids]

We just added a new batch of data to our Citizen Science project Active Asteroids, a #NASA Partner (@DoNASAScience). You too can find unusual asteroids that have comet tails… check it out! https://t.co/v27Jjhd8Jh

Dad pointed out there is (was?) a face on Dimorphos! Visible just prior to the #DARTMIssion impact. I see it… just missing a left ear!

@cathomas09 See you soon!

BREAKING 🚨: Large meteor spotted burning up over Scotland and Northern Ireland

[Colin Orion Chandler @coc415]

@PlanetaryPiggy I use an app that reminds me to take a 1-minute break every 55 minutes. Helps me to move around, but I know everyone is different too.

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B

[NWS Flagstaff @NWSFlagstaff]

Good morning everyone. Today will be an active day across central and northern Arizona, with thunderstorms likely across much of the area today and this evening. Locally heavy rain and flash flooding (especially near recent fire scars) are the primary threats. #azwx

@jjfplanet Loving the skies of Arizona!

Thank you to the Navajo Nation for their support and assistance during the #TunnelFire

#TunnelFire Windy conditions challenge firefighters as Tunnel Fire grows to more than 19,000 acres
