Working together, two @NASAMars spacecraft —one on the ground and one in orbit—detected a large meteorite that slammed into the Red Planet. The result was confirmed earlier this year: https://t.co/4ofuP8MXId https://t.co/eVMFbBOY7U

Might this be you? “I always voted at my party’s call. And I never thought of thinking for myself at all.” -Sir Joseph Porter’s Song, 1878 Gilbert & Sullivan (HMS Pinafore)

A multi-sensory impact 💥 @NASAInSight recorded a magnitude 4 marsquake when a meteoroid struck the Red Planet last year. Later, cameras on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spotted the new crater from above. https://t.co/ffCRtr9CsS https://t.co/Al40x27iMG https://t.co/jVpg36bSuh

It’s launch day! Pleased to announce my joint mission with @ZelenskyyUa to raise funds for ambulances in support of Ukraine. At liftoff, I’ve pledged to purchase the 1st vehicle. Join us! https://t.co/iauSXEylYz #StandWithUkraine https://t.co/4CNk16fX2X

❄️ Large chunks of water ice were scattered by the impact as shown in this image by MRO’s @HiRISE camera. Buried water ice has never been spotted this close to the Martian equator and could have implications for @NASA’s future plans to send astronauts to the Red Planet. https://t.co/LTTjWHWreq

Last December, Mars was struck by a meteoroid large enough to make a 500-foot-wide (150m) impact crater—and send out shockwaves picked up by NASA's InSight lander

#TDIH in 1969: NASA test pilot Bill Dana flew the HL-10 lifting body to Mach 1.58 at over 60,000 feet. The craft was air launched from a B-52 mothership and would then fly back to land. Dana is pictured here next to the HL-10 as a B-52 flies overhead. https://t.co/RbFnt9uag0

Hubble's picture of the week featuring cosmic key-hole NGC 1999 is now available in video format. Take a look at this galactic oddity here: https://t.co/oYqLQH7yig 📷 @esa / @HUBBLE_space / @NASA , @ESO , K. Noll, N. Bartmann 🎶 Stellardrone - Billions and Billions https://t.co/ZHW0cMarhK

SpaceX is transporting a Falcon 9 booster back to the hangar at Kennedy Space Center for refurbishment following launch and recovery last week on a Starlink mission. Watch live: https://t.co/u3NqsGdfAa https://t.co/MVQv2NXMfS

Our @NASAInSight Mars lander "heard" seismic signals while our Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured images of the impact crater made by this Martian meteorite. To make the sounds audible, the data was sped up 100 times. Listen: https://t.co/X00C5ca2NQ

LIVE NOW 🔴 Experts from the @NASAInSight and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter teams are sharing details about a new finding on the Red Planet. They'll also provide an update on InSight’s waning energy levels. https://t.co/NYXde2BoVZ

The first test flight of the Saturn I launch vehicle that occurred today in 1961 was a success. Saturn I was the basic test vehicle that led to the development of the Saturn V, which carried astronauts to the Moon for Project Apollo. https://t.co/yHE7bTd20F
