A global mission with local impacts. Hear experts working in Nebraska, South Dakota, and West Virginia describe how they plan to use NISAR data to help keep their communities safer by monitoring critical infrastructure, like dams and bridges. 🦺
Time flies, and so do we! One month ago, we set out for Jupiter and its ocean moon, Europa. The spacecraft is now 10.2 million miles (16.5 million kilometers) from Earth. Instrument deployments are proceeding well, and the Mars flyby happens in March europa.nasa.gov/mission/timeli…
#DYK: In October, asteroids passed by Earth closer than the Moon about once a day! Check out what else NASA's #PlanetaryDefense team reported last month: science.nasa.gov/science-resear…

Happy New Year... on Mars! 🎉 Because the Red Planet takes longer to orbit the Sun than Earth, its year is longer. 687 days, in fact. The last one was celebrated on Dec. 26, 2022. Confused? Don't be. This "Mars in a Minute" video has the answers.

Webb has its eye on Titan, a moon of Saturn, a place where methane and ethane make up its liquid rivers and seas. Learn more about future Titan studies in Other Worlds Episode 3. NASA+: plus.nasa.gov/video/other-wo… Youtube: youtu.be/LkYPsWnsBOc
Can you believe it has been 10 years since we landed on a comet? On 12 November 2014, after a ten-year journey through the Solar System and over 500 million kilometres from home, our Rosetta mission’s lander Philae made history by touching down on a comet for the first time.…

Science is booming! We've successfully deployed the magnetometer boom. Once we arrive at Europa, the Europa Clipper Magnetometer (ECM) aims to confirm that Europa’s ocean exists, measure its depth and salinity, and measure the ice shell's thickness. More: europa.nasa.gov/spacecraft/ins…

To all the veterans in our NASA family & beyond, thank you for your service. Consider joining us for the next chapter of your journey, whether you’re a service member transitioning from duty through NASA SkillBridge, or looking for your next mission: go.nasa.gov/3YJefMY
Picture perfect: We issued the Europa Clipper Art Challenge, and wow did kids rise to meet it! See selected entries that answered the question, What do you think you might find in the vast ocean underneath Europa's icy surface? spaceplace.nasa.gov
The seasons of the Sun 🌿☀️🍂❄️ Just as Earth has seasons, our Sun moves from times of frequent eruptions to stretches of relative quiescence. It’s all part of the roughly 11-year solar cycle. Learn more in this new installment of NASA’s Illuminate series! 👇
On #STEMDay and every other day, we launch learning to new heights with resources that connect teachers, students, parents and caregivers to the inspiring work at @NASA Learn with us, discover with us, join us at nasa.gov/learning-resou…
Ready to @DoNASAScience? Whether you're into planets, plants, or programming, we’ve got projects that need YOUR brainpower! 🤓🌎 From tracking Earth’s weather to dreaming up space tech, jump in, explore, and help us make the next big discovery! go.nasa.gov/3YEXHpl #STEMDay
As #HeraMission sped away from its homeworld it witnessed the Moon orbiting Earth. In this sequence, acquired by @JAXA's TIRI infrared imager from 10 to 15 Oct, the Moon shifts from a half to full-Moon & Earth shrinks as Hera moves from 1.4 to 3.8 million km away…
The Power to Explore Student Challenge 2025 is ready for launch! K-12 students are invited to plan a mission that uses Radioisotope Power Systems (RPS) to explore a dark, dusty, or far-away moon in our solar system. nasa.gov/power-to-explo…
Mars Global Surveyor, launched #OTD in 1996, was NASA's first successful mission to Mars in two decades! Over its 9 years in Mars orbit, it examined the entire planet in detail, overhauled our knowledge of Mars, and helped Mars rover and lander missions. go.nasa.gov/4fwg8nc
Happy #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth! “Finding and achieving my purpose is always an ongoing journey,” he said. “Accepting what might seem like a regression is the first step of growth. There’s always a lesson to be found, and every disappointment can fuel a new ambition and…
