[ARCHIVED - NASA Europa Clipper @EuropaClipper]

That's a go: Today our mission passed a standard planning milestone known as Key Decision Point E. We're now approved to proceed toward a launch period that opens Thursday, Oct. 10.  https://t.co/P0GBjZIrnW

Had a great time touring the MELCO facility and seeing the MMX spacecraft with @JAXA_en and @NASA colleagues!

[Martian Moons @JAXA @mmx_jaxa_en]

#NASA Science Mission Directorate visited MELCO Kamakura Works! ISAS Director General Kuninaka & MMX PM Kawakatsu gave a tour around the clean room and the MMX spacecraft’s development. In the image in the cleanroom you can spot MMX’s MEGANE, developed by NASA/Johns Hopkins APL!

[ARCHIVED - Dr. Nicky Fox @NASAScienceAA]

Congratulations to the @NASAPersevere team for the discovery of this fascinating rock that has some indications that Mars may have hosted microbial life in its ancient past!

This data will be made available to the science community, and I am excited to see what additional discoveries may be made: https://t.co/XAKwnTw8zV

Throw back to a talk on Mars’ twisted tail!

[MAVEN Mission to Mars @MAVEN2Mars]

#TBT to 2019: Did you know that Mars has a magnetic tail? The MAVEN mission has demonstrated how the Martian magnetotail is unique and becomes twisted by its interaction with the solar wind.

@Dr_ThomasZ @SolarGirl2018 @NASASun Congrats @SolarGirl2018 !

[Gina A DiBraccio, Ph.D. @gdibracc]

@SolarGirl2018 @Astro_Pam @Dr_ThomasZ Very cool!! Great picture!

[Gina A DiBraccio, Ph.D. @gdibracc]

Absolutely love this view of Neptune and it’s rings.

[Thomas Zurbuchen @Dr_ThomasZ]

Wow, I am in awe of those rings! For the first time, @NASAWebb has captured Neptune showing the ice giant in a new way & providing a crisp view of its faint rings since they were last seen in 1989 by Voyager 2! More: https://t.co/I1cbPH2VJx

@Dr_ThomasZ @NASAKennedy @NASA_Astronauts What an awesome picture, Thomas!

[Gina A DiBraccio, Ph.D. @gdibracc]

@SpaceWxRina and @NASAGoddard’s Moon to Mars Space Weather Office helping to prep for the @NASAArtemis launch tomorrow!! 👏🏼 👏🏼

[Carina ☀️ Alden @SpaceWxRina]

So grateful for the opportunity to be part of the @NASAArtemis missions 🥹 I have the joy of being one of the night shift folks monitoring real-time Space Weather ahead of Artemis 1’s launch!

Can’t believe this is my life 🤩

Apply to join our NASA Goddard Mag group!

[Stephanie Getty @DrSGetty]

Apply by Monday 8/29 to join us in the SSED at Goddard!

[Gina A DiBraccio, Ph.D. @gdibracc]

@SolarGirl2018 @LaurieofMars @LindaSpilker @NASAJPL @NASASun Where can I get a Voyager t-shirt?? Love it!

[Gina A DiBraccio, Ph.D. @gdibracc]

Go GTOSat! Our Magnetometry group @NASAGoddard has provided the small fluxgate Mag for this project with @JaredEspley as instrument lead!

[LASP @LASPatCU]

Meet GTOSat! This @NASA CubeSat led by LASP researcher Lauren Blum will soon serve as a 'pathfinder' to test new radiation-tolerant technologies for SmallSats operating beyond LEO.

[Gina A DiBraccio, Ph.D. @gdibracc]

@Dr_ThomasZ @NASAUniverse Congrats, Mark! Excited for SMD but we will miss him at Goddard.

[Gina A DiBraccio, Ph.D. @gdibracc]

Amazing to see aurorae on Earth and Jupiter. We observe them on Mars too with @MAVEN2Mars!

[ARCHIVED - NASA Sun & Space @NASASun]

Earth isn’t the only planet that has auroras!

When charged particles from the #Sun strike Jupiter, they produce auroras hundreds of times more energetic than those on Earth.

@NASAHubble captured this view of Jupiter’s ultraviolet aurora.
