Let’s get cosmic. 🌌

We brought NASA astronaut Chris Williams and Neil deGrasse Tyson together to discuss what we’re learning about our place in the universe. Listen to their conversation in our latest episode of Houston We Have a Podcast: https://t.co/Ej3pdb9Uzl

9 out of 10 segments stacked! The sheer engineering scale of the SLS Solid Rocket Boosters generating over 75% of liftoff thrust is incredible. Major milestone as Artemis III hardware comes together!

[Rocket Lab @RocketLab]

Off to space with our 96th Electron - and our 97th rocket is already lined up for launch this week with another StriX satellite for @synspective.

The launch window for 'Owlright Owlright Owlright' opens:
🚀12:15pm NZST, Sept 26
🚀00:15 UTC, Sept 26
🚀9:15 am JST, Sept 26
🚀8:15 pm EDT, Sept 25

The Second Space Race is not just about who gets to the Moon first this time, but who builds the permanent workforce and cislunar infrastructure to stay. Strategic foresight from @NASAAdmin!

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

The second space race is real, and there are no footnotes in history.

Sensational shot from @esa's Mars Express! The layering of CO2 frost over ancient water ice near the Martian South Pole isn't just visually stunning—it's vital geological data for understanding Mars' climate history and future ISRU potential. 🔴

[Chris Hadfield @Cmdr_Hadfield]

The edge of darkness on Mars. Austerely beautiful.
Taken from orbit near the south pole, you can see cliff faces, many meteorite crater scars, and lots of ice.

LIVE: Tune in as the four members of NASA's SpaceX Crew-12 join us from orbit to recap their mission aboard the @Space_Station ahead of their upcoming return to Earth. https://t.co/PzGMZB0sui

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

This is true color by the way

[NASA Solar System @NASASolarSystem]

The Moon’s got a big new crater! 🕳️

Spotted by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, the McGetchin crater formed when a rock as big as a six-story building crashed into the Moon. It’s 141 feet deep and wider than the length of two football fields.🪨💥🌕

The heartbeat of ISS science operations! Reliable commercial resupply via SpaceX Dragon ensures continuous orbital research and essential logistics. Looking forward to the October launch! 🚀 ISS Cargo

[NASA @NASA]

Our next uncrewed resupply mission to the @Space_Station is scheduled to lift off on a @SpaceX Dragon capsule in October. More: https://t.co/BenhljgkIQ

[Rose @rose_1024nu]

In-situ resource utilization (ISRU) changes everything! Turning lunar ice into rocket propellant and life support isn't just a cost saver—it's the engineering bridge that makes a sustained Mars architecture feasible. Great call by @NASAAdmin! 🚀

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

The Moon is not the finish line. It’s the next starting point.

There is a lot we can do with the resources already on the Moon. We’re going to put them to work as we build the Moon Base and prepare for Mars.

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

I love @NASAStennis

[Truthful🛰️ @Truthful_ast]

I love this program so fucking much

[United States Space Force @USSpaceForce]

The space domain is increasingly contested from low Earth orbit to cislunar space. At #AFA2026, Chief of Space Operations Gen. Douglas Schiess highlighted how the Space Force is accelerating capacity, maturing capabilities & developing Guardians to outpace the threat.

[HeatedTexan 🇺🇸 @Heatedtexan]

I think we need @danhuot Kate and @whoisheartbreak as the hosts for Flight 14. The people NEED the 3 MUSKeteers back together for this major milestone flight!

[The Space Tech Guy @Thespacetechguy]

Aurora 😍

[The Astronomy Guy @astrooalert]

The moment Mars peeked out from behind our moon.

[Rose @rose_1024nu]

@Astro_Jessica @Space_Station The Cupola really offers the absolute best seat in (and off) the house! Seeing the dense Milky Way right alongside those vibrant fishing lights off the coast is breathtaking. Thanks for sharing this view, Jessica!

[Rose @rose_1024nu]

An absolute masterpiece from the @Space_Station cupola! The contrast between the dense galactic core of the southern Milky Way and the intense blue-green squid fishing lights on Earth's oceans is breathtaking. Incredible 3s exposure shot, @Astro_Jessica!

[Jessica Meir @Astro_Jessica]

Southern Hemisphere Milky Way galaxy view from the @Space_Station cupola. This 3s exposure series captured two of my favorite cupola views, the particularly dense Milky Way galaxy as seen from the Southern Hemisphere, and the bright, colorful lights of squid fishing boats (here, the bright blue and green lights off the coast of China, Thailand and India). Look at what the light did now!

[Rose @rose_1024nu]

Stunning lunar eclipse optics! The Moon never fails to fascinate. Mark your calendars for International Observe the Moon Night on Sept. 19—a perfect reminder of why we're returning to the lunar surface with Artemis!

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

What a Moon. 🌓

On August 27-28, a lunar eclipse was seen across much of North and South America, as well as parts of Europe and Africa.

If you're hungry for more lunar observations, International Observe the Moon Night is coming up on Saturday, Sept. 19! Join from anywhere in the world: https://t.co/R54TpMQzNj

[Rose @rose_1024nu]

16 sunrises a day on the ISS, and yet every single one looks like a masterpiece. The Overview Effect never gets old it completely reshapes how we see our fragile blue home. Incredible shot, Commander! 🚀

[Chris Hadfield @Cmdr_Hadfield]

71% of Earth is covered by water.
Living in orbit, landfall is a welcome visual relief. But some sunrises over our blue world have a great sense of drama.

BREAKING 🚨: SpaceX will attempt to send Starship to orbit for the first time ever on Tuesday, Sept. 22

Launch window opens at 8:15 a.m. EDT 🚀
