NASA astronaut Chris Williams took this photo of an orbital sunrise from the International Space Station on June 26, 2026.
#DYK in a 24-hour period, the space station makes 16 orbits of Earth, traveling through 16 sunrises and sunsets?
Get ready for a front row seat to Artemis III.
NASA has selected @SpaceX to provide laser communications capabilities from the Orion spacecraft for the mission. They will deliver high-def imagery as astronauts test rendezvous & docking operations between Orion and commercial systems. https://t.co/lWEf9If4re

Before Neil Armstrong could take his historic first steps on the Moon, NASA first had to master the techniques that would let an astronaut safely exit a spacecraft in space.
On June 3, 1965, Gemini IV pilot Ed White made that first step with the first American spacewalk.
NASA’s Juno mission saw particles accelerated by Jupiter’s powerful magnetic field to near the speed of light.
The findings may unlock a 100-year-old mystery about even faster particles reaching Earth from distant supernovas. 🔎⚡

El 31 de mayo tendremos una “luna azul”. 🌕💙
A pesar del nombre, nuestro satélite natural no se verá de ese color: se le llama así a la segunda luna llena que ocurre en un mismo mes del calendario. Disfrútala este fin de semana, antes del amanecer o después del atardecer.
Once in a Blue Moon 💙
Tomorrow, May 31, we will be treated to a rare second full Moon in one month – aka a Blue Moon. Which means double the Moon joy!

New data from @NASAWebb shows that supermassive black holes can grow to their current size without a much larger host galaxy to feed them.
This helps to explain why some black holes in the early universe got so big so quickly. https://t.co/9l3SjnKHqZ
NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured this view of Thebe, the second largest of Jupiter’s inner moons, during a close pass on May 1, 2026.
Thebe is believed to play a role in the formation of the planet’s “gossamer” ring through the shedding of dust. Read more: https://t.co/OUGGbApsCs
Artemis II represented a team of people across NASA’s centers and beyond who came together to support the four astronauts aboard and complete a successful mission.

Humanity's farthest landing ever
We touched down on Saturn's moon Titan in 2005. This is real probe data "NOT CGI"
The only spacecraft to land in the outer solar system.
