What's it like to fly NASA's experimental, quiet supersonic aircraft?
We're hosting a @Reddit AMA with our X-59 test pilots on Monday, May 18. Stop by and share your questions! https://t.co/Lhboq7Bi0k
To build on the Moon, we need construction materials that can withstand bitter cold – so @NASAglenn invented a machine that can recreate that environment for testing!
This high-powered refrigerator, or cryocooler, removes heat without using any liquid. https://t.co/5hZyLiaP44
Our next cargo mission to the @Space_Station is lifting off from Florida as soon as Tuesday, May 12.
Flying aboard: medical research to understand our blood and bones, a new space weather experiment, and supplies and hardware for the crew. Read more: https://t.co/Mj1BaL2Ghn
A-meow-zing 😻
@NASAWebb and @ChandraXray joined forces to deliver this view of the Cat's Paw Nebula. Different wavelengths combine to reveal young stars at the center of these dusty clouds.
Finding real-life Tatooines ⭐⭐
Scientists studied data from our TESS telescope and found over two dozen planets that orbit pairs of stars! For Star Wars Day, learn more about how these planets outside our solar system are formed. https://t.co/dRmbD3FxBD
Start your week with some new photos from Artemis II!
Though our journey around the Moon has ended, we're still retrieving plenty of new images. Keep an eye on our Artemis II multimedia gallery for image highlights from the mission: https://t.co/XInWMJwMYY
POV: you're rolling around on the Red Planet
You’re looking at six years on Mars in around two minutes. This timelapse contains images captured by our Curiosity rover between 2020 and 2026 from one of its navigation cameras. https://t.co/yfDUkHzBgF

Meet the NASA astronauts currently aboard the @Space_Station in the thread below 👇
Earthshine.
Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch captured this video of Earth outside the windows of the Orion spacecraft during the second flight day of the mission. Orion was roughly 33,800 miles (54,500 km) away from Earth when @Astro_Christina took this video.
Our Curiosity Mars rover has been studying the Red Planet since it first touched down on Gale Crater back in 2012.
Now, a new analysis has revealed the most diverse collection of organic molecules ever found on Mars—informing our search for ancient life: https://t.co/Du8qqkk179
The next delivery of NASA science and equipment to the @Space_Station is set for no earlier than May 12. In addition to experiments, these resupply missions also bring supplies that allow the crew aboard to continue living and working in low Earth orbit: https://t.co/NN4FRwn7Ml
With Artemis II safely back on Earth, NASA has begun shipping the core stage for the Artemis III rocket to @NASAKennedy.
Artemis III will test rendezvous and docking capabilities needed to land Artemis IV astronauts on the Moon in 2028. https://t.co/RfhWoO907P
5,000 light-years from Earth, stars are forming in the Trifid Nebula. Our orbiting @NASAHubble telescope is taking a close look: https://t.co/gkoaV8e64M
