We're working with @ESA to plan one of the most ambitious feats ever attempted in space—bringing a Mars sample to Earth. The Mars Sample Return campaign could help answer a question rovers alone cannot: Was there life on Mars?

Here's how we plan to do it: https://t.co/vEqW0DJUlq

Thanks to @NASA’s WISE, retired Spitzer Space Telescope, and @ESA’s retired Herschel Space Telescope, the constellation Orion has a stellar story to tell. Radiation from massive stars is altering the clouds of gas and dust they reside in. Learn more: https://t.co/15vYeCMPI9

When two galaxies encounter each other, it takes 1-2 billion years for them to merge and settle down. While the stars already in the galaxies don’t change much, the collision can spark lots of new stars to form! ✨ #MondayMotivation

#SpaceFactFriday Did you know that it only takes Jupiter 10 hours to do a full rotation on its axis? Due to it spinning so quickly the planet has flattened out at the poles a little and is bulging at its equator 🔭
