“If you can’t fly, run; if you can’t run, walk; if you can’t walk, crawl; but by all means keep moving.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

Inspired by his words, we push the boundaries of exploration, moving forward for the benefit of humanity.

Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.

In memory of David Lynch, we will continue to explore the otherworldly and the unknown. We will focus not on the loss, but on what we gained from the years we shared this planet with you. We will see you in our dreams.

Congratulations to this year’s @SpaceApps Global Winners! The 10 winning projects use our open data to tackle real-world challenges, like identifying seismic activity on Earth and mapping exoplanets: https://t.co/i2eUB0TfTt https://t.co/5aD9dxIKjY

LIVE: Two @NASA_Astronauts, Nick Hague and Suni Williams, step outside of the @Space_Station to support station upgrades, including repairs to our NICER (Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer) X-ray telescope. https://t.co/0VP296OmRY

The third U.S. robotic commercial launch successfully lifted off on a @SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. @Firefly_Space’s Blue Ghost lander is expected to reach the lunar surface in March: https://t.co/47IjWBAGbg https://t.co/hXdIOcQnfo

We’ve confirmed separation. The Blue Ghost lander and its payloads continue on their voyage to the Moon. For more updates, check @Firefly_Space.

There it goes: our post-holiday delivery aboard Blue Ghost begins its journey to the Moon!

In addition to providing information about the Moon, the data these instruments will capture could help us on Earth by providing insights into how space weather impacts our planet.

Destination: Moon

Our biggest commercial lunar delivery yet is on @Firefly_Space’s Blue Ghost lander, set to launch on a @SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket at 1:11am ET (0611 UTC). The science aboard will help prepare for future human missions to the lunar surface. https://t.co/b4wtf9Vrzs

See between the stars 🤩

Cozy up for a planet parade!

January is an incredible month for skywatchers, with multi-planet viewing opportunities, Mars in opposition, and the Quadrantid meteor shower in the Northern Hemisphere. Take a look at what the night sky has to offer this month.

Shoot for the stars ✨

While aboard the @Space_Station earlier this year, @Astro_Jeanette captured the perfect shot: a long-exposure photo showcasing streaks of city lights across Western Australia, with swirls of stars glittering above Earth’s golden-red atmosphere.

About the Golden Record and the message from Jimmy Carter, who was president at the time of launch: https://t.co/9IXW1ulAbz https://t.co/PiRfjqKj3R

We are saddened by the passing of President Jimmy Carter, who contributed to the Voyager Golden Record currently traveling through interstellar space.

Carter's message of peace continues to reach across the "vast and awesome universe."

When you and your camera come together to maximize your joint slay 🤝

Stars illuminate the Christmas Tree Cluster (2023). https://t.co/fbCFiY3juz https://t.co/0axGXkRHLw

Last Christmas, @ChandraXray gave us a cluster of stars. This year, new telescope views (combined with Chandra data) gave us something special: https://t.co/9IoeaF1u38 https://t.co/sEN8caWO0W

To everyone on Earth, Merry Christmas from our @NASA_Astronauts aboard the International @Space_Station.

The X-59, @NASAAero’s quiet supersonic aircraft, completed its maximum afterburner engine run test. The afterburner adds additional thrust and, along with the engine, will allow the X-59 to meet its speed requirements: https://t.co/rjQOyYwKhb https://t.co/w8JIqOZ7GP
