Roll 'em out... on the Moon 🌕 Our VIPER rover's latest prototype is getting put to the test at @NASAGlenn, as we get ready to search for ice and other @NASAArtemis resources at the lunar South Pole: https://t.co/J5ADlFE6Vn https://t.co/lgtZLM5z6S

Went to the Kennedy Space Center last weekend for the first time. I actually teared up seeing the Saturn V in person. Pictures don't come close to capturing the scale.

Holes in the sky ⚫ That’s what dark nebulae are sometimes called, even though these clouds of gas & dust can be home to busy areas of starbirth – like they are in this excerpt of the Chameleon Cloud Complex. Dark nebulae are so dense that they block light from behind them! https://t.co/YhA33g8mA4

Thanks for continuing to go out to #SpotTheStation and sharing your great space station pix with us! https://t.co/EM1VtuKTge

OMG, CONGRATS! 👏 @NASA's Oceans Melting Greenland mission is complete. It found that ocean water is melting glaciers at least as much as warm air is too. Its findings revolutionized our understanding of the pace of sea level rise in the coming decades. https://t.co/Sq09Eq8xTQ https://t.co/xqz88kzO9F

Space agriculture dominated today's @ISS_Research schedule while the Exp 66 crew also had time set aside life science work. https://t.co/aa85wx5rsL

On this day in 1892, Bessie Coleman was born. In 1921 she became the first African American woman to earn a pilot's license and she remains an inspiration to generations of pilots. Explore how she broke down barriers to achieve her dream of flight: https://t.co/7ZyBFzj57q https://t.co/4OedCAFWHp

🧩 Everything’s coming together on January 29 for #PuzzleDay. Images will be released throughout the week before the spectacular full, final image reveal!
