When our DAVINCI mission sends a probe through the skies of Venus early next decade, it will carry a number of scientific instruments—including an oxygen sensor designed, built, and operated entirely by students: https://t.co/IDo65LON3m https://t.co/Qgnn0DyxX2

I’m at a radio astronomy conference in the Canary Islands and managed to spot a piece of NASA history! The Maspalomas Station was built during the Space Race and tracked Apollo 11, and is now used by the ESA and other nations to track satellites

This is one of my works, hope you like it!

NASA’s @SpaceX #CRS25 mission is scheduled to launch at 10:22am ET (14:22 UTC) on Friday, June 10, delivering new science investigations, supplies, and equipment to the @Space_Station. Get the low-down on how to watch: https://t.co/ZK0yvJes4y https://t.co/IkbzTSFRAx

exact date and time of each NEW and FULL moon

I'm curious if someone can explain to me as lay person (not very familiar with tracking planets or moons) how we determine the exact date the time of each FULL and NEW moon every \~15 days. It's obviously not exactly every 15 days that \~ is the whole point of this question: how do we know what that slight variation will be for each new moon 1, 2, 3, 4, N moons from now. I see this data all over the internet out to like the year 2100. Is the prediction for year 2100 less likely to be exactly right than the prediction for a closer year like 2025?

Three teams from minority-serving academic institutions won a first-of-its kind @NASA competition called MSI Space Accelerator. The finalists will receive funding, participate in a 10-week accelerator program, and be matched with mentors at JPL. https://t.co/kbckYBXQbn https://t.co/qsPcsYCWyv
