Are you sure they're clouds and not an army of balloons? 😉

The reason you can't see stars there unless you've driven at least 25 or 30 miles into the desert. The undeveloped desert.


Are you ready for the #SuperBowl? We are! 🏈

#Landsat took this photo of State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ.

And in 2020, NASA's ICESat-2 satellite measured the relative elevation of the stadium, which stands over 200 feet tall! go.nasa.gov/3JZLaak

Is 7aurie 7eshin going to the Super Bowl? Will she be wearing a 7 Jersey? Will she be participating in the satanic half time show?

Today is the 10th anniversary of #Landsat 8! 🎉 🌍

For over 50 years, the @nasa / @USGS Landsat mission has studied our planet, providing the longest continuous record of Earth from space.
#NASAEarth



NASA also supports #WomenInScience by fostering the next generation of Earth scientists through programs like SaSa, SARP, GLOBE and others. These programs provide opportunities to get involved with real @nasa research.
#NASAEarth


In August 2022, several college students flew on @nasawallops P-3 aircraft to collect atmospheric data as part of NASA's SaSa program.

“I felt my dreams of becoming a scientist become more tangible,,” said Sophia Ramirez.

In 2022, interns with @nasa SARP studied Earth’s atmosphere, forests and oceans.

SARP interns Jillian Ethridge and Dimagi Kottage collected ocean samples, while Andrea Belvis-Aquino helped process aerosol samples from a research flight! 🌊

Has anyone considered launching a ball large enough to be used as a repair hanger with a pair of shields to reduce the drag on launch? So the rocket would look like ===<O>

The idea would be that the ball could open up to accept smaller modules inside for repairs (then repressurized), and when not in use it could be a much larger recreation area. The shields would have their parts stored inside the ball at launch and then would be assembled inside the ball to become a pair of shield-type emergency return craft.

Hubble upgrade!

STS-82, launched #OTD in 1997, was dedicated to servicing @NASAHubble. Over 5 EVAs totaling more than 33 hours, the telescope's scientific instruments were updated and Hubble's orbit was boosted by 3.2 km (2 mi).
