Happy birthday, Goddard! Our center was founded May 1, 1959. Want to celebrate with us? See what @NASAHubble image was captured on your birthday. go.nasa.gov/4jtKj0B Hubble captured this image of NGC 3982 on our birthday in 2000:

NASA is going to the Moon and Mars! Contribute to our space communications architectures through industry-led studies. We’re seeking insights into Lunar Truckline Communications & Mars End-to-End Communications Architectures. Respond by Aug. 6 at 5pm EDT. bit.ly/4eBq3Zc

Pose for the picture! ☀️ 📸 NASA’s Parker Solar Probe captured images from the closest we've ever been to the Sun. These shots were taken during last year’s orbit, from just 3.8 million miles away. Parker will continue to gather data during future orbits.

Are we alone? To find out, we’re building the Habitable Worlds Observatory. This powerful space telescope uses proven technologies from @NASAHubble, @NASAWebb, and @NASARoman to look for signatures of planets that can support life — and maybe life itself. go.nasa.gov/44KCbT7

3 years & we’re only scratching the surface! On our 3rd science anniversary, we’re looking at one “toe bean” of the Cat’s Paw Nebula. This active star-forming region is revealing more about how young stars are shaping their surroundings! go.nasa.gov/3U8NsHW

It's that time again! Tonight, the Moon will appear full, lighting up the sky. 🌕 Fun fact: The Apollo astronauts brought back a total of 842 pounds (382 kilograms) of lunar rocks and soil to Earth. We're still studying them today!

You know what they say, practice makes…for successful asteroid observations! This image was taken during our #LucyMission’s successful encounter with the main-belt asteroid Donaldjohnanson in April. Lucy's next stop: Jupiter Trojan asteroids. science.nasa.gov/blogs/lucy/202…

Happy #FourthOfJuly from Hubble! 🇺🇸 Stars shine red, white, and blue in this new Hubble image of globular cluster ESO 591-12. Hotter stars are bluer, giving off shorter wavelengths of light, and red stars are cooler, emitting longer wavelengths: go.nasa.gov/4khuvhb
