My finished shot from this morning's total lunar eclipse. This image was captured by using two telescopes, one to capture intricate detail on the lunar surface, and one to capture the rich tones cast by Earth's shadow across the disc. Go ahead, zoom in on it!

How it started ➡️ How it’s going These images demonstrate Webb’s remarkable ability to resolve faint stars in nearby dwarf galaxy Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte (WLM). On the right is Webb’s brand new image, and on the left is Spitzer’s view: go.nasa.gov/3hnt4Tv

NGC 604 is a star-forming region tucked away in one of our neighboring galaxies, M33. Home to approximately 200 hot, young, massive stars, NGC 604 is located about 2.7 million light-years from Earth. This image spans about 2,700 light-years from side to side.✨

Earthset. 🌎 Orion Spacecraft captured this shot of Earth “setting” while the spacecraft passed close to the Moon. Nearly 270,000 miles (430,000 km) away, #Artemis I will soon surpass Apollo 13’s record-setting distance from Earth in a spacecraft designed to carry astronauts.

#Artemis I, Flight Day 5. Orion spacecraft takes a selfie while approaching the Moon ahead of the outbound powered flyby - a burn of Orion's main engine on the @ESA service module. During this maneuver Orion came within 81 miles of the lunar surface.

Pandora’s Cluster ✨ This #HubbleClassic image depicts a giant galaxy cluster located in the constellation Sculptor. Scientists believe that this cluster resulted from a pile-up of at least four smaller galaxy clusters over 350 million years! More: go.nasa.gov/3ErzmcF

My collection is growing! 🪨 I’ve now got my 15th rock core: a nice piece of sandstone. Up next, I’m heading back to a nearby dune to break out a new tool – my regolith collection bit – for gathering loose, sandy material. #SamplingMars continues…

Doubling up! I’ve taken a second sample of loose material from this sandy ripple. #SamplingMars this way adds a new dimension to my other rock cores. See why both engineers and scientists could learn a lot from this material: go.nasa.gov/3iJ9iCy

Presenting: The Moon 🌕 Cameras mounted on the crew module of Orion Spacecraft captured these views of the Moon’s surface during its second and final close approach of the lunar surface. More great photos from Orion are posted daily to Flickr >> flic.kr/s/aHBqjAfKs1

A #StarrySights stunner! 😍 Welcome to NGC 1850, a star cluster about 160,000 light-years away in a satellite galaxy to our own Milky Way, known as the Large Magellanic Cloud. Read more: go.nasa.gov/3VIoe2u

Splashdown. After traveling 1.4 million miles through space, orbiting the Moon, and collecting data that will prepare us to send astronauts on future #Artemis missions, the Orion Spacecraft spacecraft is home.

Artemis I recovery update: Orion Spacecraft is now in the well deck of the USS Portland. Teams with EGS and the DoD continue to make progress to safely secure the spacecraft.
