COMING SOON to a heliosphere near you! 📽️ NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe, or IMAP, is a new mission that will map the boundaries of our heliosphere, the “bubble” created by our Sun that defines our home in the galaxy. Launch targeted for Tuesday, Sept. 23, at 7:32 am ET from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It’s going to be a blast! 💥🚀

NASA’s Carruthers Geocorona Observatory has begun its 2-year science mission. 🛰️ From ~1 million miles away, the spacecraft is capturing the UV glow from Earth’s outer atmosphere. The data will help us understand how hydrogen (and water) from Earth escape to space. 🌎💦🌌 More:

There’s no place like home… or is there? ☀️🏠 Our heliosphere, the bubble created by our Sun, is like our “house” in space — but it’s not the only one! We’ve identified many other astrospheres in our galaxy, and the more we learn about our heliosphere, the better we can recognize what it takes for other star systems to be able to support life. This video is the third of a three-part series that explores how we learn about our heliosphere, how it protects us, and how it advances the search for life elsewhere in the universe. Launching as early as Wednesday, Sept. 24, NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe will help us understand our heliosphere like never before.

Ever wonder what protects us from the chaos of deep space?🌌 Our solar system is wrapped in a giant magnetic bubble called the heliosphere, formed by the constant flow of charged particles from the Sun known as the solar wind. NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP), preparing for launch in late September, will study the heliosphere to uncover how our solar system is shielded from cosmic radiation and interstellar particles. Stay tuned for mission updates:

This new NASA mission will get a whole new look at our home in space. 👀 The Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe, or IMAP, will chart our heliosphere, the giant bubble encasing our solar system. The heliosphere is like Earth’s house in space: It shelters our planet from interstellar radiation and helps keep it cozy, safe, and suitable for living things — like us! 🌱🌎 With a comprehensive suite of 10 instruments, IMAP will reveal our heliosphere with 30X better resolution than we’ve ever had before, helping us understand how our Sun creates and maintains our protective bubble in space. The launch window opens at 7:32 am ET on Sept. 23, 2025. More details here:

Over 11 billion miles away, an invisible wall separates our “home” in space from the galaxy beyond. 🏠🌌 This wall is the boundary of our heliosphere, the area of space carved out by our Sun. Like a house, the heliosphere shelters us from harsh weather outside and regulates the environment inside. What does our home in space actually look like? We still don’t fully know — but a new NASA mission is aiming to change that. Launching as early as Sept. 23, NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe will help us construct the “blueprints” of our home in space. This video is the first of a three-part series that explores how we learn about our heliosphere, how it protects us, and how it advances the search for life elsewhere in the universe.

2/2 🧵 The solar wind fills space around us to create a giant "bubble" we call the heliosphere. The heliosphere’s size, shape, and dynamics are mostly still unknown — but maybe not for long! NASA’s IMAP (Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe) mission, scheduled to launch late September this year, will chart the heliosphere, revealing how the Sun and solar wind create and maintain our giant bubble in space. Ahead of launch, the spacecraft just got two more of its 10 instruments installed: More about IMAP: More about the solar wind:

50 years ago today, Pete Conrad, Joseph Kerwin, and Paul Weitz lifted off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, heading to Skylab: America's first space station. Our Skylab missions laid the groundwork for ARCHIVED NASA Astronauts to live and work in space, from the International Space Station to the Moon and beyond.

Our heliosphere is like our “house” in space: Its walls protect us from the weather outside. But every now and then, it springs a leak and a few interstellar particles make it all the way to Earth, leaving traces for us to find! 🌳 By studying these “leaks,” we learn how our heliosphere has changed over millennia, revealing surprising long-term changes in our Sun. Launching as early as Sept. 23, NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe will help us understand our heliosphere like never before. This reel is the second of a three-part series that explores how we learn about our heliosphere, how it protects us, and how it advances the search for life elsewhere in the universe.
