Hi Rise! 🧵 The Artemis II zero gravity indicator was designed by 3rd grader Lucas Ye. Our blanket technician at Goddard brought it to life, fabricated in the same lab where blankets are created to keep spacecraft like Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope the right temperature for science.

We live on a water planet. Celebrate World Ocean Day by exploring Earth from the perspective of our ocean monitoring satellite, PACE. From dust and smoke in the atmosphere to life on land and in the water, PACE gives us a whole new way to see the seas.

In 2023, we brought a sample of an asteroid called Bennu to Earth, part of a plan to study remnants of our early solar system. These grains of rock have shown that the building blocks of life and the conditions for making them existed on Bennu's parent body 4.5 billion years ago.

You've seen his visualizations. Now, meet the man who knows the far side of the Moon like the back of his hand. Ernie Wright maps the Moon, which comes in handy when training NASA Artemis astronauts to see parts of the lunar surface humans have never laid eyes on before.

In the early morning hours of March 3, a lunar eclipse will turn the Moon red. Totality will be visible in eastern Asia, Australia, the Pacific, North & Central America & western South America. Noah Petro shares what's behind (and in front of!) the show:

Superheavy neutron stars spin so fast they briefly delay their inevitable collapse into black holes, although only for a few tenths of a second! Because of their very short existence, detecting signals from them is tough.

We can’t see them, but we know they’re there! ⚫ In this NASA visualization, we see 22 X-ray binary systems that host confirmed black holes, all shown at the same scale and with their orbits sped up by about 22,000 times.

Whether 2025 was the best year you've had, or...not, we’re moving on to 2026. This weekend brings a big, bright full Moon. That Moon will be shining down on us all year, through the highs and the lows. We hope you, and your 2026, are looking up. 🌕💛

Rain, rain, go away 🌧️ NASA Webb Telescope peered through the thick atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan to see the cycle of weather occurring there. On Titan, methane goes through similar condensation, precipitation, and evaporation as water on Earth.

What does your 2026 have in store? 🔮 We have no idea! But we do know what the Moon will look like every single hour of the year, thanks to detailed mapping from our Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft.

A star ready for its close-up! In late 2024, Parker Solar Probe made its closest approach yet to our Sun. In July, NASA released new images from the flyby. These images are helping scientists better understand the Sun’s influence across the solar system.

What happens when two incredibly dense neutron stars crash into each other? Researchers used a NASA supercomputer to take a closer look at the maelstrom of interacting magnetic structures around neutron stars in the moments before they crash.
