Find #BacktoSchool fun in our interactive expeditions that allow you to explore the Earth and Moon! Learn about astronaut photography from ISS Research and try your hand at identifying views of Earth from space. Explore details about the Moon, including how to classify Moon

Explore our #BacktoSchool resources for educators! These hands-on activities include student and teacher guides that include an abundance of resources and can be adapted for use in formal or informal learning environments. ares.jsc.nasa.gov/engagement/act…

Curious what the challenges of imaging samples from the Moon and asteroids are and how NASA overcomes them? Vote for our #SXSW panel, “NASA's Science and Art of Imaging Extra-Terrestrial Samples” now! panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/152996

What could make #SXSW even more fun? How about a call from space!? Our panel proposal includes a conversation with an astronaut on International Space Station to talk about astronaut photography of Earth and how we’re applying what we’ve learned to NASA Artemis! Vote now!

This bloom’s for you! Summer in the Barents Sea often leads to phytoplankton blooms spanning hundreds of kilometers. The milky blue color in this scene suggests the bloom contains coccolithophores, a type of plankton plated with white calcium carbonate. go.nasa.gov/3YElaJ7

Enjoy the soothing sounds of sediment. 🤫 Join Jessica Meir for an ASMR tour of the NASA NASA Astromaterials Simulant Development Lab at NASA's Johnson Space Center, where scientists have developed several types of sediment that closely match the regolith on the Moon.

📢TODAY (8/18) is the last day to vote for our #SXSW panel, “NASA's Science and Art of Imaging Extra-Terrestrial Samples”! Learn how we work to put these incredible rocks from different origins across our solar system in your hands, virtually. Vote now! panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/152996

June 1912: The largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century blanketed glaciers with ash in what’s now known as the Valley of 10,000 Smokes. June 2024: NASA's Goddard Instrument Field Team hiked deep into the Valley, seeking answers about icy volcanic landscapes on Earth & Mars.

Tabb Prissel, Aditi Pandey, & Justin Hayles at Novarupta. The dome of dark rubble is what’s left of the volcano itself. Ash erupting from this spot in 1912 buried miles of valley. Afterward, gases escaping through countless fumaroles gave the "Valley of 10,000 Smokes" its name.

NASA's Johnson Space Center NASA Astromaterials Prissel collected samples, too, but with a different science question in mind. Novarupta’s chemistry is partly a result of Earth’s plate tectonics. The Moon has volcanic landscapes with similar chemistry, but no plate tectonics. So, what else could explain the parallel?

Incredible experience in Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland. A perfect place for lunar geology training with my crewmates. asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/news/artic…

"Share and share alike" works in space, too. 🚀🪨As part of an asteroid sample exchange, NASA has transferred a portion of the asteroid Bennu sample collected by the agency’s #OSIRISREx mission to JAXA(Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency). go.nasa.gov/3MiwrYc

55 years ago, scientists like biologist Elaine Muñoz at NASA Ames were getting their first looks at the Apollo 11 lunar samples. While they didn't find evidence of life, the samples have shed light on how the Moon formed. More on moon rocks on NASA+ plus.nasa.gov/video/nasa-exp…

In celebration of International #ObserveTheMoon Night, tune in to our broadcast on Sept. 14! You'll find lunar science updates, preparations for Artemis, interviews with NASA experts, solar eclipse highlights & a glimpse of participation around the world. go.nasa.gov/3AR1B6B

[#CosmosBlog] We’ve got (new) asteroid! Material from asteroid #Bennu, collected by NASA’s #OSIRISREx spacecraft, has arrived at our Extraterritorial Sample Curation Centre (JAXA地球外物質研究グループ(ASRG)). The sample is a key complement to the Hayabusa2 mission. Read 🔗 cosmos.isas.jaxa.jp/comparing-piec…
