China is planning a mission to Enceladus. Here’s what we know ⬇️ Saturn's moon Enceladus is one of the most intriguing places in the Solar System, especially when it comes to the search for life. Not only does it have liquid water beneath its icy crust, but it may also contain

Aug. 19 is National Aviation Day, a celebration of Orville Wright’s birthday and all things flight. Learn how @NASAAero is working to improve air travel and make it quieter and more sustainable: go.nasa.gov/3HGBH99

We’re not sitting on this one, Uranus has another Moon! Webb discovered an unknown moon orbiting the planet, expanding its known satellite family to 29. go.nasa.gov/4mKUe2V

Love Juno forever. The end game isn't certain yet, but no matter what it's been a journey for the ages. scientificamerican.com/article/how-na…

Couple goals: Even from 180 million miles away, Earth and the Moon look great together. Don't you think, NASA Artemis? During a recent camera calibration on its journey to an asteroid, our #MissionToPsyche spacecraft glimpsed our home world from afar. jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-psy…

NASA Solar System NASA JPL We think Earth and the Moon always look great together ❤

The official e-telegram announcing the newly-discovered moon of the planet Uranus, found by a team using JWST 🔭 . Its temporary name is S/2025 U 1 (it'll eventually get a name from Shakespeare or Pope). Circular orbit so likely a natural satellite.

On #WorldPhotographyDay, we celebrate NASA photographers—visual storytellers who document history, inspire dreamers, and connect us to space exploration. From the ground to the stars, their lenses show us what’s possible.

For the first time Chinese researchers have precisely determined that the Moon’s #ApolloBasin formed 4.16 billion years ago. This finding pushes back the onset of the lunar "impact storm" by at least 100 million years！

Could magnets help astronauts breathe on Mars? 🧲 Living and working on Mars will require innovative technologies to produce oxygen for future explorers. That's why researchers, working with NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts program, are developing a powerful new idea using

Fun fact: The Viking 1 team landed without any visibility, no imagery, no hazard avoidance (which nowadays is typical) and they almost hit a rock called "Big Joe." They really said 🤞🏼 Happy 50th launchiversary Viking 1! 📸: NASA JPL Lockheed Martin Space

See Hurricane Erin in 3D 🌀 Erin went through a period of rapid intensification, strengthening from a Category 1 to a Category 5 hurricane in around 24 hours. NASA’s GPM Core Observatory passed over Hurricane Erin at 6:23a.m. EDT on August 16th, while it was intensifying.

Hot science on a cold dwarf planet: Ceres may be cold now, but new research suggests it once had a lasting source of chemical energy. When combined with the briny water and carbon molecules found in its interior, Ceres may have been habitable. go.nasa.gov/45X1KSO

NASA JPL The data behind these findings came from NASA's Dawn mission, which used ion engines to reach and orbit two small-but-intriguing worlds in the main asteroid belt, Ceres and Vesta. science.nasa.gov/mission/dawn/

Imagine wanting to cut NASA science when we have incredible tools like this that make a direct impact in our daily lives and help shape our understanding of the planet we live on.

Here's a view from the Viking 1 lander on the Chryse Plains of Mars in 1976, and a view OF the lander taken from space by Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which is studying Mars today. science.nasa.gov/mission/mars-r…
