October 31st isn't just Halloween... it's also JPL's birthday! In addition to being a leader in robotic space exploration, we think the clever and creative costumes that our colleagues come up with each year are pretty stellar. What's your favorite #NASACostume?

When #Halloween is also NASA JPL’s birthday 🥳 #wednesdayatoms

Not sci-fi... this is real life! For the first time in space, scientists have produced a quantum gas containing two types of atoms aboard the International Space Station's Cold Atom Lab. How can we use quantum chemistry? go.nasa.gov/47gl5fY

We know you're always thinking about it, too.

And you think wrapping your holiday gifts is hard... how about trying to wrap a spacecraft? See how JPL's "Shield Shop" sews and installs thermal blankets to protect the ARCHIVED - NASA Europa Clipper spacecraft from the cold and harsh environment around Jupiter.

The Deep Space Network is turning 60! 40+ missions depend on the DSN, which keeps data flowing between Earth and space using 14 giant radio antennas at three complexes spaced equally around the world. What's the future hold? go.nasa.gov/3twfjbG

You were amazing, Ingenuity

Love is a beautiful thing ❤️ Whether it’s love for our planet, a special someone, or amazing friends, you can never go wrong with a NASA Valentine’s Day card. go.nasa.gov/valentines

Happy landiversary, ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover! 🥳 What did our robotic explorer accomplish in its 3rd year on the Red Planet? - Traveled over 6 miles (~10.6 km) - Surpassed 1,000 sols - Spotted dust devils - Took more than 116K photos Explore the rover in 3D: mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/space…

Congratulations to alumna, Raquel Villanueva, who has won a Culture and Creativity Award as part of the Study UK Alumni Awards in the US! 🏆💛 🔗 Find out more about Raquel Villanueva and the the British Council’s Study UK Alumni Awards in the US: bit.ly/3HYoqWa

Every spacecraft is made from thousands of individual pieces. 🧩 Go inside the clean room as the ARCHIVED - NASA Europa Clipper team describes the integration of the instruments that will perform a detailed investigation of Jupiter's icy moon. #GoEuropaClipper

If you build it, they will come! Excitement is building as ARCHIVED - NASA Europa Clipper – the largest spacecraft NASA has ever built for a planetary mission – nears launch this October. But before it heads to NASA's Kennedy Space Center, we gave the media one final close-up: go.nasa.gov/49EnwJz

Mars exploration is one of the most scientifically rewarding and inspiring things NASA dares to do. Just yesterday, ARCHIVED - Curiosity Rover surprised us with these incredibly cool sedimentary rock textures! More from Michelle M: mars.nasa.gov/msl/mission-up…

How do we make sure to avoid contaminating other worlds with Earth microbes? 🦠 It's called "planetary protection," and the ARCHIVED - NASA Europa Clipper team has been working to keep the spacecraft super clean for the last six years. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the process:

Does anyone know why the Denver skyline is pink tonight at 11 pm (11/24/24)?

Can see a fire from Pasadena

Fire visible, and strong winds picking up in Pasadena
