Sea level rise has continued to accelerate over the past three decades. 🌊 A @nasa study shows sea level rise will approach the one-foot mark for most U.S. coastlines by 2050. Learn how these projections could help coastal communities prepare: bit.ly/3TGiULh #NASAJPL
New results show average sea level rise approaching the 1-foot mark for most coastlines of the contiguous U.S. by 2050. The Gulf Coast and Southeast will see the most change.
Earth is an oasis not only in space, but in time. Every planet and star is a fleeting thing in the lifespan of the universe, but some stars live longer, billions of years longer, than others. So, what might that mean in our search for life beyond Earth? go.nasa.gov/3X79HhI #NASAExoplanets
In the search for life beyond Earth, astronomers look for planets in a star's "habitable zone" — sometimes nicknamed the "Goldilocks zone" — where temperatures are just right for liquid water to exist on a planet's surface.
what do we mean by habitable zone? surely any planetary body with a hot core or abundant radioactive elements that can produce enough heat to maintain a subsurface ocean , currents and mineral cycle can support life? Europa? Enceladus? Pluto?
Success! #OTD 56 years ago, Gemini XII splashed down into the Atlantic Ocean 4 days after it had been launched into space, with astronauts Jim Lovell and Buzz Aldrin onboard! Postflight medical examination determined both astronauts were in good shape. 🧑🚀🧑🚀 #NASAhistory
My dad was an AC on the U.S.S. Wasp for several of the Gemini recoveries, including this one. I have a memorial envelope (created by the ship's post office) with Lovell's autograph (along with envelopes for other Gemini missions, including a photograph of Neil Armstrong's crew with his autograph). This is one of the reasons I've been a proponent of NASA and space exploration since my youth. Thank you for posting this.

Webb's mirrors were built to withstand micrometeoroids, which are unavoidable in space. In May, a dust-sized hit was larger than tested for. After careful analysis, we've found it to be a rare statistical event. Webb’s optical performance remains twice as good as requirements. ⬇️ #JamesWebb
These women computers at the Muroc Flight Test Unit (now @NASAArmstrong) took advantage of a rare snowy day in California #OTD in 1949. ☃️ Their work: doing laborious calculations from long strips of data recorded by onboard aircraft instruments. @WomenNASA #AviationHistoryMonth #NASAhistory
