#OTD in 2006, we acquired this stunning vista showing Saturn’s small, battered moon Epimetheus, the giant, smog-enshrouded moon Titan and the rings stretching across the scene. Details: https://t.co/vTVweJuGPr #SaturnSaturday

[Hubble @NASAHubble]

We are all explorers. It’s in our DNA. For 28 years Hubble has allowed us to explore the edges of space and time. As one of humanity’s most incredible exploration machines, Hubble continues to inspire the explorer in all of us. https://t.co/PjiCXABsT8 #Hubble28

This look like another day at the office, or your idea of a great vacation destination?

Then say it loud and proud... #ImAGeoscientist !!

.@NASASun's Solar Dynamics Observatory watched an active region on the Sun — an area with intense, complex magnetic activity — rotate into view on April 18-19, seen here in extreme ultraviolet light. Check it out: https://t.co/efsG2ynpsX

"As humans prepare to push off the safe haven of Earth and embark on journeys into deep space, a new generation of explorers is in the making — some of them human, some robotic and some with aspects of both."

Here's a #StPatricksDay look at a celestial shamrock! Many consider the shamrock to be a symbol of rebirth and life, so it's fitting that this nebula is a dusty region of star birth, seen by our Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer. Take a closer look: https://t.co/IrOR3r4AUU

Thursday, Mar 29th - #Tucson planetary scientist @DSLauretta will talk about "space exploration and board games" at the Linsly-Chittenden Hall. Tickets available on eventbrite.

Given just a few years to live after being diagnosed with ALS at age 21, Stephen Hawking by far outlived that, reaching the age of 76. He made some of the greatest contributions to the world of physics. His work will continue to inspire us all. RIP Stephen Hawking.
