NASA's Kennedy Space Center just went under an emergency lockdown due to unknown reasons [Happening Now]

What do early looks at the Martian core samples tell us? 🤔 🌋This rock is volcanic in origin 🌊The presence of salt indicates the rock was subject to water 🔬And once returned to Earth, closer examination will reveal whether that water was host to ancient Martian life! https://t.co/GW7NONYg8m

A critical part of my job as a US Navy Fighter Pilot, Test Pilot, and NASA Astronaut was managing deadly risk. Sometimes those trade-off decisions were difficult. This one is easy. Get vaccinated. Stay alive. https://t.co/L51wL54fjw #SmartNewsPartner https://t.co/jOwKQOSO57

DYK @NASAPersevere's hobbies include photography, collecting rocks, off-roading & puzzle-solving? The rover is piecing together Mars’ history. The rocks analyzed for sample collection are helping us understand a past marked by volcanic activity and water. https://t.co/GXR0A6hHvO https://t.co/BC94CnwTNR

Watch @NASA TV today at 2pm ET when station managers discuss Sunday's spacewalk when @Aki_Hoshide and @Thom_Astro will modify the orbiting lab's power system. #AskNASA | https://t.co/yuOTrYN8CV https://t.co/XDebQBz0ut

This week the @Space_Station crew worked on studies to: ✔️Identify targets for genetic engineering of plants ✔️Test technology to improve carbon dioxide removal systems ✔️Identify potential hazards of moving between different levels of gravity https://t.co/9UWi6681dj https://t.co/8tXs3XKmZn

Three @NASA_Astronauts and one @ESA astronaut will launch to the @Space_Station on the @SpaceX Crew-3 mission, targeted for no earlier than Oct. 31. Media accreditation is now open: https://t.co/fyupifquNp https://t.co/SMcOiDw2xk

Two Exp 65 astronauts get ready for a Sunday spacewalk as the station hosts a variety of biology and botany studies today. https://t.co/VIkVYr5kBA

Researchers generate an entire virtual universe and make it available for download (if you have 100 terabytes of free hard drive space) - https://t.co/DkPq9QvLU7 https://t.co/HDWo2A22wc

When former astronaut Chris Cassidy (@Astro_SEAL) flew 9/11 Museum mementos with him to the @Space_Station during his last mission, he helped a family fulfill a 9/11 victim's dream. Read the story to learn more and to see the photos. https://t.co/thjFaxXowb

Black hole and a blue giant. Somewhere in space this is probably happening.

"A sample retrieval lander will actually pick up the samples that will be collected by @NASAPersevere and bring them into Mars orbit, and the Earth return orbiter will... return those back to Earth." @NASAJPL scientist Meenakshi Wadhwa describes the sample retrieval process: https://t.co/HzCQfTfzXM
