Our scientists here at NASA's Johnson Space Center processed and analyzed the data from the CheMin instrument!

The future of moonwalks. 🌕 On this week’s #HWHAP, two NASA Artemis experts discuss how the agency is preparing future moonwalkers to use new tools to explore the unique science near the lunar South Pole. go.nasa.gov/43Vdyob

#ICYMI NASA Artemis sample curation lead, Dr. Juliane Gross, shared how hardware and science go hand-in-hand for NASA’s return to the Moon. Listen: go.nasa.gov/43Vdyob

Today, we're celebrating Earth as only NASA can. Shift your point of view this Earth Day and see the planet as we do from air and space.

📸🌎♥ Explore our beautiful home planet through the photographs from astronauts aboard the International Space Station! Check out the Gateway to Astronaut Photography here: eol.jsc.nasa.gov

On April 20th the #LucyMission flew by asteroid Donaldjohanson & surveyed the asteroid using its 3 science instruments. Lucy’s science data is transmitted home through our Deep Space Network, and will help us study how planets in our Solar System were formed!

Making tracks: From its vantage point in space, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter again captured the Curiosity Rover rover, this time in mid-drive. The combination of eyes in the sky and wheels on the ground has helped us reveal the planet in new ways. go.nasa.gov/4cMEJ6N

NASA made a big splash #OTD in 1972 with the return of Apollo 16. Onboard the spacecraft were the fifth set of astronauts to land on the Moon, as well as 211 pounds (95.8 kg) of lunar samples. 3D views of Moon rocks collected during the mission: go.nasa.gov/42LvjUF

500,000 images from NASA Webb Telescope were released and we need YOUR help in identifying them. Check out NASA Citizen Science’s new project GalaxyZoo. Details below ⬇️

Lunar drill passes the test ☑ The PRIME-1 (Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment 1) mission served as a successful technology demonstration for drilling on the Moon. The TRIDENT drill and MSOLO instrument worked together to help scientists learn more about lunar resources:

With no plate tectonics to drive changes in Venus’ outer layer, scientists expected the crust to be very thick. New modeling shows that might not be the case. Read what surprises were revealed in a recent NASA study: go.nasa.gov/3ENrMxk

For the benefit of our blue marble. 🌎 On this week’s #HWHAP, a NASA scientist discusses how imagery and data collected from the International Space Station can support natural disaster response teams on the ground. go.nasa.gov/4iWiQDI

What can data from Curiosity Rover tell us about the changing environment on ancient Mars?🤔 Join NASA Astromaterials for a free webinar about minerals on the Red Planet & what they can teach us about possible microbial life there. Register by May 19! ares.jsc.nasa.gov/interaction/we…

“What drew me to NASA is the premise that what I would be doing was not just for myself, but for the benefit of all...Although I am personally passionate about the work I am doing, the fact that the ultimate goal is to enable the fulfillment of those passions for generations of

New NASA research explores how planetary cores might form like coffee percolating through a filter – only here, it’s molten iron sulfide seeping through rock! Learn how this study is reshaping how scientists understand early evolution of rocky planets like Mars.

Artist and scientist Erika Blumenfeld shares how her curiosity about space rocks led to a career creating 3D models to increase access to NASA NASA Astromaterials collection. A great way to spark student interest in STEM careers! #Astromaterials3D #STEMcareers go.nasa.gov/3XoItVH

Boot Camp for the Moon 🧑‍🚀 NASA Astronauts and NASA Artemis teams on the ground prepare and train for future crewed missions to the Moon by practicing moonwalks in the Arizona desert! The lunar-like landscape allows teams on Earth to complete technology demonstrations, hardware
