@GijsDeReijke @IMOmeteors @apod That would be great! Can you email me at [email protected]?

I wrote about what we'll see during Juno's year of Io flybys, and why the proposed IVO mission would tell us even more about Io https://t.co/VtSxiw1s3l

Looks like Ingenuity saw Perseverance's tracks during its 40th flight on Jan. 19

@MissaXD Yes! Columnar cacti grow from the tips, and styrofoam cups can trap just enough warm air to protect them from a light frost. https://t.co/8gAmYvpD7N

Tidal forces can bulge the surface of Io up to 100 meters. On Earth, the biggest difference between low and high tide is 16 meters, and that's water, not a solid surface!

All of that stress makes Io the most volcanically active world in our solar system.

Good spacecraft, good mission, good people. Thanks LightSail 1 and 2, for letting me follow you around the past eight years. https://t.co/zPREUECpyt

@WeHaveMECO One day it will happen. JSC will have to reference some dusty contingency notebook to figure out how to respond.

On Sept. 15, 2017, almost five years ago, @NASACassini plunged into Saturn's atmosphere.

We look back on Cassini’s extraordinary mission and what it continues to reveal about Saturn here: https://t.co/2UMLVoZ4iL

Our Day of Action is coming up soon!

If you live in the U.S., you can register for the Day of Action, and we'll set you up with virtual meetings with your congressional representatives. It’s the most effective way to advocate for space.

Want to learn how to take stunning pictures of the night sky? With a DSLR camera and some practice, you can take images of the Moon, star trails, and the Milky Way galaxy.

We'll show you how to get started in this video: https://t.co/rx5rEgzDWO

NASA hopes to reduce the price of exploring Mars with a mission called ESCAPADE.

This week on @PlanRad, we talk to principal investigator Rob Lillis whose team at @UCBerkeley will send two probes to Mars in 2024 for less than $80 million.

Honored to have the cover story for the new issue of @exploreplanets The Planetary Report, and perfect timing too! My magazine arrived today, the day @NASAWebb launch date was announced. (Currently targeting Dec 18). Thanks to @jasonrdavis for the opportunity!

Liquid water under the Martian polar ice? Maybe not.

Jeffrey Plaut and Isaac Smith are among the researchers who have found that a form of clay may be a better explanation. They join us this week on @PlanRad to discuss their findings.

The @NASAPersevere rover is getting ready to make a second sampling attempt on Mars. Wish the team luck!
