Before you can defend, you have to detect! Meet NEO Surveyor, the first space telescope specifically designed to hunt asteroids and comets that may be potential hazards to Earth. It’s set to launch in late 2027. science.nasa.gov/mission/neo-su… #DetectToProtect

So long #MarsSampleReturn: "In line with the Administration's objectives of returning to the Moon before China and putting a man on Mars, the Budget would reduce lower priority research and terminate unaffordable missions such as the Mars Sample Return mission that is grossly

POTUS released a skinny FY 2026 budget, proposing to drastically cut funding for federal R&D across several agencies. AAAS urges Congress to reject the budget & reaffirm their long-standing bipartisan support for S&T investments. Read the full statement: aaas.org/news/president…

A "skinny" version of the President's Budget Request for Fiscal Year 2026 was released today. Here we provide an overview of what's (not) in it and what actions can you take: aas.org/posts/news/202… #FY2026 #Budget

NEO Surveyor is getting ready for a roadtrip! Cruising toward its late-2027 launch, the asteroid hunter's next stop is the Space Dynamics Laboratory in Logan, Utah, where its instrument enclosure (seen being lifted here) will be joined with the telescope. #DetectToProtect

Laurie Leshin, who became JPL director in 2022, will step down on June 1. David Gallagher, currently the Lab’s associate director for Strategic Integration, will become JPL’s 11th director. More on this transition: go.nasa.gov/4k8gFhm

What lies beneath: Analyzing gravity data collected by orbiting spacecraft reveals new insights into the interior structures of our Moon and the asteroid Vesta — all without having to land on the surface. go.nasa.gov/43DPepd

In the early '90s, NASA's Magellan mission used its radar system to see through Venus’ thick atmosphere and map the topography and gravity of the planet. New analysis of this decades-old data has revealed new evidence of tectonic activity: go.nasa.gov/4k0Crno

BREAKING: The Trump administration’s budget request just hit Congress and slashes NASA funding to its lowest level since 1961, which could usher in a dark age for NASA space science. What happens next? Congress will make the final decision and set the budget. The good news: YOU

This budget request would cripple NASA's space science efforts. Active and planned science missions scrapped. $ billions of wasted taxpayer money. This is sick. science.org/content/articl…

My sources and various news outlets are reporting White House spokesmouth confirmation that Jared Isaacman is not going to head NASA. The nomination of Jared Isaacman was inspired. His un-nomination is beyond stupid. He is - or would have been - a bright light at #NASA at a time

"NASA is f---ed," one current leader in the agency's science directorate told Ars on Saturday. arstechnica.com/space/2025/05/…

I am incredibly grateful to President Trump President Donald J. Trump, the Senate and all those who supported me throughout this journey. The past six months have been enlightening and, honestly, a bit thrilling. I have gained a much deeper appreciation for the complexities of government and the

At 15 billion miles away, the signal I send to Earth is a lot fainter than it once was. Currently, a single 70-meter Deep Space Network antenna can receive my signal, but as I travel farther, they'll need the combined receiving power of up to six radio frequency antennas! -V1

There's a new interstellar comet in the neighborhood! Known as 3I/ATLAS, this comet poses no threat to Earth – but it does provide a rare opportunity to study an object that originated outside of our solar system: science.nasa.gov/blogs/planetar…

What do we know about the newly discovered interstellar comet, A1/ATLAS? This rare visitor from beyond our solar system was discovered this week. It's not a threat to Earth, but it poses a great science opportunity! Learn more: science.nasa.gov/solar-system/c…
