Today, I met with the Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee to discuss the incredible work #NASAScience is doing to protect our planet from potentially hazardous near-Earth objects (NEOs). While there are currently no known NEOs that pose a risk to Earth within the next 100 years,

Will the Sun ever burn out? Not exactly. It’ll expand into a red giant, then shrink into a white dwarf — a small, hot, dim remnant of its former self. A NASA scientist explains our Sun’s long future. Learn more about the Sun: nasa.gov/sun

The upcoming NISAR mission, a collaboration between NASA and @ISRO, will be the first satellite mission to collect radar data in two microwave bandwidth regions to measure changes of our planet’s surface. This allows us to observe a wide range of Earth processes from the flow

Time to take a bite out of "Krokodillen!" I'm exploring a new area that has been on my science team's wish list for a while. The rocks here formed before Jezero Crater was created and could include some of the oldest rocks on Mars. go.nasa.gov/4kwyuHb

Growing plants in space is key for future Moon and Mars missions—but watering them isn’t easy in microgravity: bubbles don’t rise, and droplets don’t fall. Learn how a series of NASA Space Science experiments is tackling this issue aboard the International Space Station: go.nasa.gov/4dnSzNj

How did life begin on Earth? It’s one of the biggest questions in science. NASA’s Dragonfly mission, launching no earlier than 2028, is heading to Titan—Saturn’s icy moon that may hold some clues. About the size of a car, Dragonfly will fly across Titan’s surface, exploring an

Did you know that changes in nearby tree leaves can indicate when a volcano becomes more active and might erupt? New research from NASA and the Smithsonian Institution suggests that we can now detect these changes from space. More: go.nasa.gov/3HaEZAY

On the ISS, bubbles don’t rise, tools float away and air doesn’t move on its own, so experiments in space need to be reimagined from the ground up. A NASA scientist explains how we do research in zero gravity. Learn more about science on International Space Station: go.nasa.gov/3HcDxyd
