Did someone say #WorldPhotographyDay? We love planet-size celebrations! Here's one of the most iconic shots of our big, blue marble: Earth as seen by the crew of Apollo 8. https://t.co/7rukuVsfrk Once @NASAArtemis I reaches the Moon, we'll have new Earthrise images to share. https://t.co/dLTTX3V0tu

We are going. As @NASA prepares to send astronauts to the Moon under #Artemis, we have identified 13 candidate landing regions near the lunar South Pole. Learn about the landing regions and what sets them apart: https://t.co/XagoqjMi9b https://t.co/lUwJun9yh0

This #NationalAviationDay, we’re celebrating our own flight pioneer: #MarsHelicopter! This mighty rotorcraft took to the skies on another planet more than a year ago, and it’s broken records, scouted with @NASAPersevere, and taken photos of the Martian terrain. https://t.co/NbEVF13jwS

Fast Poll... I posted dozens of quotes this past week from the soon-to-be-released book: Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization.

SpaceX's reusable first stage booster has landed on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean. This was the ninth trip to space for this booster after launching 53 more Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral. https://t.co/IKKOFB1Kc7 https://t.co/szNGYzZjkx

Live Now: We're talking about potential Moon landing regions for Artemis III—humanity's return to the lunar surface. https://t.co/BeNrT3L0Cg

The 13 candidate landing regions for the #Artemis III mission were identified based on different criteria that help to ensure a safe landing and achieve science objectives. @NASA will continue to discuss the regions with the scientific community. https://t.co/xucAnMQZqf https://t.co/4U9dThyMHx

And speaking of Martian photos – happy #WorldPhotographyDay! From smooth ripples to the gear Perseverance used to land on Mars, Ingenuity has taken some amazing photos of the Red Planet. Take a look at Mars from the helicopter’s viewpoint: https://t.co/EegPR19mV5 https://t.co/PDuV13tFte

Happy National Aviation Day! From flying the T-38A as my first assignment in the Air Force (1) to deploying in the F-22 (2) to just yesterday flying over Ellington Field in a NASA T-38N, I will forever cherish the moments in the sky. https://t.co/YvIXYhwnkp

As the #Artemis I mission prepares for launch, our crews are already working on future Artemis flights. For later missions we will provide an Exploration Upper Stage that will be one of the most powerful in-space vehicles ever flown. Learn about EUS: https://t.co/LvB7EN7XWI https://t.co/KMTZLHbYXc

This week at NASA, we moved Artemis I to the launch pad, sent tech experiments to space, and discussed priorities for national space activities. Check out our virtual event to share the upcoming Moon launch, and use #Artemis to continue the conversation: https://t.co/AsrZXXASC1 https://t.co/CVTWDMv19C

It’s rare to get up-close images of our telescopes once they're in space. But since our NICER payload lives on the @Space_Station, we see it all the time! In this sped-up vid, NICER twists and turns to track pulsars and other X-ray sources: https://t.co/T9rNpEkwpy #WorldPhotoDay https://t.co/142iZbWYEI
