This is the air you breathed in 2024🌍 Tiny dust particles and droplets — 'aerosols' — drift around the globe. They can trigger asthma, cause acid rain, and even alter climate by absorbing and scattering sunlight. The Copernicus EU Sentinel‑5P mission tracks air pollution from

Our Moon distorted through the atmosphere as it sets beyond Earth's orbital horizon. Soon to know a human presence once again with Artemis II

Below is the note that I sent to the NASA workforce today as we release the report on the Starliner Crew Flight Test Investigation. We will achieve success through extreme ownership, immense competence, and decisive action.

We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Watching this thinking how amazing it would be to be a part of an elite apparatus like this. The amount of training, and dedication is amazing. Hopefully the weather holds for a launch. NASA Artemis NASA youtube.com/live/Tf_UjBMIz…

Curious what the differences would be for astronauts flying with spaceX vs Artemis. I understand there is a lot of overlap. But there has to be differences, just curious what those would be. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman SpaceX

Next stop: lunar flyby. The Orion spacecraft recently ignited its main engine on the service module for about six minutes to provide about 6,000 pounds of thrust. This maneuver sets the Artemis II astronauts on the path to the Moon.

These two images were taken by Reid Wiseman only minutes apart. The stark difference is the result of camera settings. In the first, a longer shutter speed let in much more light from Earth, while the shorter shutter speed in the second emphasizes our planet's nighttime glow.

This view just hits different 🌍 Christina H Koch and Reid Wiseman take a moment to look back at Earth as they continue deep into space toward the Moon.

As communities gather this weekend, Victor Glover reflects on the shared spaceship we all call home: Earth.

This is where you can find real photos from Artemis II. NASA Johnson flickr: flickr.com/photos/nasa2ex… Official NASA website: nasa.gov/gallery/journe… NASA Image and Video Library: images.nasa.gov Too many large accounts are posting AI images.

Earthset. The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.

Here is a labeled image so you can see the craters more clearly!

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back. Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-mul…
