#OTD 50 years ago, the @NASA_Astronauts of Apollo 15 concluded their mission with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. Not all went according to plan, though. https://t.co/dOG5ShMRFf

Missions to explore the Moon and Mars will require large amounts of power. This increase in power also increases the amount of heat created. NASA is using the @Space_Station to investigate new methods of transferring this heat. https://t.co/EPFRPx7tW0 https://t.co/tV2SCWE1Dt

This magnificent 360-degree Milky Way panorama has inspired Rodrigo Lorca, Procurement Officer Chile, to say that "for the time being all we can do is (…) marvel at the sky just as our ancestors did 14,000 years.” 🔗 https://t.co/W3wbTbZesJ Credit: @ESO / @10943_Brunier https://t.co/SbzMSjOyS5

🎉 This week, our @NASASolarSystem Juno mission celebrated 10 years since launch to Jupiter. 🌑 To mark the occasion, the science team released this brand-new, infrared map of the planet's icy moon Ganymede, using data from a recent flyby: https://t.co/KS5l9KS8JN https://t.co/LkfUt1HzOE

Is there a chance an astronomical event erases life on earth without us seeing it comming?

Let's say a Gama Ray burst from an object far away that goes through our solar system, but we could never see it comming because, you know, lightspeed. Or are there ways we can get some warnings before ir happens?

NASA Camp in Houston

Hello! I joined this group because my 5th grader wants to work for NASA when she grows up. She's explicitly said she doesn't want to be an astronaut but wants to help astronauts get to space. We were thinking about spending a week in Houston over the summer so she can attend one of the camps. I would love to hear any feedback from y'all about which is the best camp. As I understand it, the camp is a week long and each week is a different theme. She's not one of those kids that talks about space non-stop but she does have a genuine interest and always gets excited when they cover space in science class. So I don't know how "into it" she really is but she's loved space since kindergarten and I want to foster it. Thanks for reading! Edit: Fixed redundant and misspelled words.
