Like fireworks illuminating dark clouds at night, a star’s light reflects off the surface of pitch-black clouds of cold gas laced with dust in this #HubbleClassic image. Known as IC 349, this reflection nebula is about 380 light-years away: https://t.co/tnGDPBY9Hq https://t.co/48bk0430Z9

Air bubbles in a spaceship’s water supply can clog up the system. This method of removing them turned out to be quite fun! https://t.co/Mf4Pr8d0XG

On this day in 1990, Pioneer 11 crossed the orbit of Neptune, beginning a journey beyond the planets of our solar system. We lost contact with the spacecraft in 1995, leading Pioneer project manager Fred Wirth to say “Pioneer 11 will travel as a ghost ship in our galaxy." https://t.co/juMeZMeBUB

#Didyouknow? Astronauts will encounter 3 different gravity fields on a Mars mission. That’s why research aboard @Space_station and data collected during #Artemis missions to the Moon & @NASA_Gateway are key to successful space missions. Learn more ⬇️ https://t.co/vnCWtkWbTj

Last week’s Cygnus launch at @NASA_Wallops was very special for this NASA family. https://t.co/8Y5cxKfckV

NASA says a faulty memory chip was the cause of a problem that forced technicians to swap out an engine control computer on the first Space Launch System rocket late last year, but the issue is not a constraint for an upcoming SLS fueling test or launch. https://t.co/CyJWE3iSNd https://t.co/9oFoNaPtYO

Best dinner view I've ever had!! (credit: @mikeyyy0)

Do you want to advance Earth science? @NASA is engaging minority serving institutions with a prize competition that seeks new information technology ideas to address climate change. Learn more here: https://t.co/pGFGUddpfz https://t.co/0fVOpBNA15

NACHOS have arrived at the @Space_Station aboard a Cygnus spacecraft! Sadly, these aren’t cheese covered. The Nanosat Atmospheric Chemistry Hyperspectral Observation System (NACHOS-1) is a CubeSat that measures trace atmospheric gasses. https://t.co/VPwEse7cqz https://t.co/zLdTpHoS6V

#TDIH 1909, the first powered flight in Canada was made by John McCurdy in "Silver Dart." Built by Alexander Graham Bell's Aerial Experiment Association, the aircraft's name was inspired by the silver-looking rubberized fabric that covered it. It's pictured here at a later time. https://t.co/b2bzCDigkT

50 years ago in @NASAhistory, the agency announced that the Apollo 17 mission would explore the Moon's Taurus-Littrow region. https://t.co/sYzRbAdl2q
