Pegasus is going to the Moon!

Built for NASA's LTVS contract, Pegasus provides Artemis Astronauts with reliable, safe, and highly achievable mobility on the Moon in 2028.

Capable of operating manually or autonomously, this next generation LTV can traverse 900+ kilometers of rugged lunar terrain at speeds up to 15 KPH. Pegasus leverages the resiliency of our spaceflight-proven rover technologies, enabling it to operate for at least one year and through the lunar night.

Pegasus is the first step in laying the groundwork for a Moon Base.

Day 106, orbit 1644 — This timelapse shows the approach and docking of the @SpaceX CRS‑34 🛰 resupply mission on 17 May. Isn’t it amazing to think that this docking manoeuvre takes place while flying at 28,000 km/h around the Earth?

The blurred dot in the middle of the picture is actually a micrometeoroid impact on the Cupola window… No worries, it’s been there for a long time !

This weekend, look up for a view you only get once in a “blue Moon”! 🌕

The second full Moon in a calendar month is sometimes called a "blue Moon" (which has nothing to do with its color, FWIW).

50 years at MIT. One final hour.

A professor spent half a century teaching. Knowing the end was near, he distilled everything into a single lecture.

His last gift to the world.

He passed away 5 months later.

This is his final hour.

Watch it this week. Seriously.

[Dava Newman @DavaExplorer]

May the 4th and everyday be with you! #STEAMD. The next US President, famous actor, astronaut, public school teacher, change maker will walk through those doors on onward to inspire us all. Just like @BarackObama @MarkHamill @NASA

May the Fourth be with YOU, from the Obama Presidential Center.

THE MOST JAW-DROPPING VIEWS OF EARTH FROM ARTEMIS II 🚀✨️ From the iconic Earthrise over the far side of the Moon to our blue planet hanging beautifully in the void — these are the moments that remind us why we go to space.

Wondering about those bright green and blue lights in the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea? I remember first learning about this phenomenon, the art of squid fishing, while I was a graduate student at @Scripps_Ocean.

Fishermen use these lights to attract plankton and fish, and squid soon follow to catch their illuminated prey. The wavelengths of light used have shifted over the years, with the current scene so colorful it looks like a Christmas village.
