After astronaut Pete Conrad stuck the landing of the Apollo 12 Lunar Module #OTD in 1969, mere feet from Surveyor 3, his 1st word as he became the 3rd person to step on the Moon was "Whoopee!" He was so excited, he accidentally pointed his camera at the Sun, frying its circuits! #NASAhistory
#25YearsAgo today, STS-87, the 8th Space Shuttle flight of 1997, launched on its way to the @Space_Station. One of the notable achievements from this mission: Takao Doi became the first Japanese citizen to walk in space!

#HappyBirthday to the first American in space—pilot, naval aviator, and first person to hit a golf ball on the Moon—Alan Shepard! As one of the original NASA Mercury 7, and commander of Apollo 14, he was inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame in 1990 🧑🚀 #NASAhistory
Jupiter and its moons 😍 #JunoMission sped low over Jupiter’s cloud tops, capturing Io and Callisto in the distance last November. Two citizen scientists made and processed this photo using raw JunoCam data. Learn more about this stunning image here: go.nasa.gov/3U1Kgf7 #NASAJPL

Lucy in the sky! On Oct. 16, NASA's #LucyMission flew a mere 160 miles (260 kilometers) from the Earth's surface. 22 minutes later, team members caught a glimpse of the spacecraft with a telescope in Nebraska, just as Lucy emerged from Earth's shadow. youtu.be/gSHJ3uSnI-A #NASASolarSystem

One of those days 😖 #OTD in 2008 during their first EVA of STS-126, Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper and Steve Bowen were working on @Space_Station construction when a grease gun leaked grease into a crew tool bag. While they tried to clean off the grease, the bag drifted away. #NASAhistory
Cloudy vision ☁️ This #HubbleFriday features “dense core” CB 130-3. This compact clump of gas and dust is the birthplace of stars! As the core collapses, its dense mass reaches the temperature required to spark hydrogen fusion, creating a new star: go.nasa.gov/3UM7W8c #Hubble
Seriously, that telescope is one of the few things going exceptionally right this year. Keep those pictures coming, folks. I won't pretend to understand them all, but gosh they're awesome.
Each year, BIG Idea competitors develop potential solutions for a real space tech challenge. In 2022, university teams explored extreme terrain access for robots. This week, they presented their projects and put them to the test in the California desert: go.nasa.gov/3hGzUn9 #NASATechnology
Ci Du ar lan y môr. Just a gratuitous dog photo. Best assistant I've ever had. He's still not sure about the relationship between aperture and shutter speed, but he loves having it explained to him. #cŵncymreig #ci #mastodogs #photography
Mars Sample Return would be one of the most ambitious campaigns ever attempted in space. But bringing those samples to Earth will be no easy feat, requiring multiple spacecraft to pick up the samples, launch off the Martian surface, and ferry them back to our planet. #NASAJPL
Explorers, assemble! @nasa and @ESA are teaming up to tackle a mighty goal: bringing rock samples safely back from the Red Planet. What @NASAPersevere is collecting now could be back on Earth by the early 2030s. See how Mars Sample Return would play out: mars.nasa.gov/msr #NASAMars
Cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin completed the first of four Russian maintenance spacewalks planned before the end of the year at 4:07pm ET today. blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/20… #ISS
Expedition 68 Commander Sergey Prokopyev and Flight Engineer Dmitri Petelin, both of Roscosmos, concluded their spacewalk at 4:07 p.m. EST after 6 hours and 25 minutes.
