The power to explore ⚡️ When you need to reach dusty, dark, and distant regions of deep space, radioisotope power systems make it possible. RPS-powered missions include the Curiosity Rover & NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover rovers and the upcoming #DragonflyMission science.nasa.gov/planetary-scie…

Small things matter for life in Earth's oceans 🌊 By measuring ocean surface features on a smaller scale than previously possible from space, SWOT is helping us understand how waves and eddies carry heat, nutrients, and energy through marine ecosystems. go.nasa.gov/4kvWcTP

It’s all about perspective 🪐 Our Cassini spacecraft used its narrow-angle camera to capture this view of Saturn and its rings. Two of Saturn’s moons, Mimas and Janus, are pictured “above” the rings, while a crescent Tethys appears “below.” Learn more: go.nasa.gov/45uBkb8

Where did life come from? It’s one of science’s most profound mysteries. Targeted for launch no earlier than 2028, NASA’s Dragonfly mission will fly to Titan—Saturn’s frigid moon that could offer some answers. Roughly the size of a car, Dragonfly will soar across Titan’s diverse

Memorial Day is a time for each of us to honor and remember in our own way. For some, it’s gathering with friends for a barbecue on a sunny day; for others, it’s a grueling workout to pay tribute to the fallen; and for many, it’s a quiet day of reflection. There’s no single way

The Sun emitted a strong solar flare on May 24, peaking at 9:52 p.m. ET. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the event, which was classified as X1.1. go.nasa.gov/3H72r2a

Where did all the water on Mars go? For the first time, NASA's MAVEN orbiter has directly observed a process called atmospheric sputtering, which could be described as “doing a cannonball in a pool.” MAVEN's lead scientist explains: go.nasa.gov/4mInt7y

Winter on Earth feel too long? Try decades of spring on Neptune. Seasons across the solar system are wildly different from ours on Earth: Mars' "autumn" highs reach -18°F and Saturn has 7-year seasons. Explore more about the seasons of the solar system: go.nasa.gov/3Z4p11t

Could you see auroras tonight? 👀 A solar eruption began its arrival at Earth this morning, sparking a geomagnetic storm that could mean dancing displays of northern (or southern) lights in your sky! Read NASA's tips for finding & photographing auroras: go.nasa.gov/3ZdsPxv

How many space rocks are in Earth's cosmic neighborhood? More than you might think, and we’re keeping tabs! NASA’s Planetary Defense team is tracking them because the first step to staying safe is knowing what’s out there. go.nasa.gov/414oCMc

Some folks hike for the views, but I hike for the history. I’ve been climbing Mount Sharp since 2014, reading layers of Martian rock. Each one holds clues from a time when Mars was more Earth-like. The Red Planet has stories to tell – and I’m enjoying every chapter.

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
