is there a reason a lot of these launches seem to happen in the middle of the night? or do they happen at all times and i just seem to be noticing the night ones?


Countdown to liftoff! Join us at 10:15pm ET (0315 UTC, Feb. 27) for the live broadcast of the #Crew6 launch, as four crew members journey to the @Space_Station, streamed here on Twitter and nasa.gov/live. Launch is targeted for Feb. 27 at 1:45am ET (0645 UTC).

any thoughts about what looks like a seam at the equator?

An astronaut on the @Space_Station took this photo of Mōkapu Peninsula.

The U.S. Marine Corps Base Hawaii spans most of the peninsula. Next to it is a tuff ring crater called Ulupa’u Head that belongs to the lower part of the Honolulu volcanic series.

turn that image on it's side and it looks like a kangaroo smoking a hookah. Just saying


Before Apollo 10 and 11 went to the Moon in 1969, Mariner 6 launched from Cape Canaveral #OTD in 1969 for a flyby mission of Mars. It made its closest encounter of the Red Planet on 31 July of that year, taking 24 close-up photos over 17 minutes. go.nasa.gov/3XRLDih

On February 14, 2023, an astronaut aboard the @Space_Station photographed a landslide in a canyon near İslahiye in southeastern Türkiye.

İslahiye is one of several towns and cities where large numbers of homes were damaged or destroyed by the earthquakes.

Hey NASA! Great account! I’d love to embed some of these images and video elsewhere, but you’re blocking Mastodon’s embed feature. Any chance you could allow that?


There’s a meetup happening in the western sky: the crescent Moon sits close to Jupiter, with Venus below them. Jupiter and Venus will continue to cozy up until March 1, when they’ll be at their closest.

Have you spotted these three in the sky? Snap a picture and send it to us!

So, Venus has been found to have a squishy outer shell. We also know of ''cotton candy exoplanets.'' Is it just us, or do planets sound... delicious? go.nasa.gov/3IrJ80w

Oh sure, @nasa goes out there squeezing all the planets for soft centres and by the time the rest of us get there it's nothing but hard taffy left!

listen NASA, a lady is always mysterious. But she likes you trying hard to know her.

Space Shuttle Discovery roared into the sky for its final space flight #OTD in 2011 (STS-133). With 39 missions over its 27 years in service, Discovery spent a cumulative 365 days in orbit. You can visit the shuttle orbiter now at @airandspace's Udvar Hazy Center.
