Voyager 1 is about to cross the line no human creation has crossed.
One light-day from Earth. 16 billion miles of cold nothing.
49 years of real travel for what light does in 24 hours.
A “crisis” that rocked the island of Santorini may reveal a shared magma system between two volcanoes with explosive histories.

We’ve just discovered an electric field that makes Earth’s atmosphere taller — say what??? 🌍
A NASA-led team has successfully measured a planet-wide electric field thought to be as fundamental to Earth as its gravity and magnetic fields.
Here’s how it works 👇
Congratulations to @Astrobotic for the successful launch of their space mission, destination: the Moon.
#DidYouKnow that the #Peregrine lunar lander carries Timepix technology developed at CERN?
This mission carries five @NASA payloads making important contributions to lunar science exploration. Amongst them is an innovative radiation monitoring device using the Timepix chip, that will provide real-time data about the radioactive environment of the lunar surface for the first time in history.

We mourn the passing of Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins, who piloted humanity’s first voyage to the surface of another world. An advocate for exploration, @AstroMCollins inspired generations and his legacy propels us further into the cosmos: https://t.co/47by569R56
I am certain, if everyone could see the Earth floating just outside their windows, every day would be #EarthDay.
There are few things more fragile or more beautiful than Earth, let’s work together today and everyday to protect our home.
I am on target to reach the Red Planet on Feb. 18, and enjoying the last few days in the #CountdownToMars.

Mark your calendars! We’re 22 days from @NASAPersevere’s Feb. 18 landing on Mars. The 292.5-million-mile (470.8-million-km) journey will end at Jezero Crater, where our sophisticated robotic geologist will hunt for signs of ancient life. https://t.co/dLi9QaoL25 #CountdownToMars
See the solar system from a new perspective. 👀 Three of our Sun-studying missions captured unique views of the planets from their vantage points around the inner solar system. https://t.co/72YCuhFW0E
✨ This new year comes with cosmic treats! In January, our planet will be at its closest point in orbit around the Sun, known as perihelion. We’ll also get a chance to see Uranus near the Moon and Mars and spot a fast-moving Mercury. 🔭
