✨ Students and educators: Our annual STEM-a-Thon is on Nov. 18, but @NASASTEM activities are happening all week! Register to hear from @NASA_Astronauts, learn how to launch a career with us, and take virtual tours: https://t.co/DYp6Kq7yQ6 https://t.co/LDbQ4kkxIh

How does a galaxy evolve into a starry spiral? With the help of data from Hubble, scientists used a supercomputer to simulate a galaxy like our own Milky Way in the early stages of a collision with another smaller galaxy. What they found: https://t.co/4UNlcmy8fv https://t.co/jDo0ZWHjn2

NASA’s first #PlanetaryDefense test mission, DART, is launching soon! @Astro_Kimbrough and @Thom_Astro are ready to show you exactly how the physics behind the mission’s collision works. https://t.co/r04XZE5Qk8

Join us in wishing @Dulles_Airport a happy birthday! 🎂 The airport was opened today in 1962. Many of our artifacts have since landed themselves on its runways, as the Udvar-Hazy Center is nearby. Thanks for your support, Dulles! https://t.co/Wy9IF9B9cS

After a lull in launches the last few months, SpaceX plans to close out 2021 with a spurt of missions from all three of the company’s active launch pads in Florida and California, with five or more Falcon 9 flights planned before the end of the year. https://t.co/ivylVb97O4 https://t.co/Bu3tcrE659

Are we really crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid? We sure are — all in the name of planetary defense. The #DARTMission is a technology test to see if an impactor could change the trajectory of an asteroid. @JHUAPL's Nancy Chabot tells us more: https://t.co/hiAfCp3qrp https://t.co/UUbUmavTzj

SpaceX’s next flight from California — a week from tonight — will be the 26th Falcon 9 mission of 2021. A Starlink mission Dec. 1 will be the 27th, breaking SpaceX’s annual launch record set last year. 📷: @SpaceX / @mdcainjr https://t.co/ivylVb97O4 https://t.co/qWW19mtLa7

🚨 Introducing NASA Groundlinks! Students: Want to know what it’s like to travel into deep space without leaving Earth? Just ask crew on a simulated trip to Mars! They help researchers prep astronauts for future #Artemis missions to the Moon & beyond. https://t.co/wcPvFmoYT7

A jazz lounge under the sea would have a lot of blue notes.🎷 In the 1960s, Russell Heston imagined a hangout space on the ocean floor. This design in our @cooperhewitt is part of @SmithsonianAIB's building-wide exploration of the future, opening Nov. 20. #TheFUTURES https://t.co/PmjBje9DYz

LIVE NOW: Our #DARTMission @Reddit Ask Me Anything is open for questions! What do you want to know about our upcoming asteroid deflection test? Join us starting at 4pm ET (21:00 UTC) to talk with our planetary defense experts: https://t.co/X9shwUzfaq https://t.co/9VCXnE93oW
