In Australia, plentiful rainfall set the stage for prescribed burning to begin. Though the fires were planned, winds can still carry the smoke far from the source.
These 7 spotlighted galaxies are so far away, their light took ~13 billion years to reach us, via @NASAWebb, which was also used to measure their velocities (more than 2 million mph!). go.nasa.gov/3V5UEnZ #NASAExoplanets
NASAs James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed, for the first time, a protocluster of seven galaxies at a distance that astronomers refer to as redshift 7.9, or a mere 650 million years after the big bang.
TROPICS is a constellation of CubeSats that will help us better understand tropical storms and hurricanes around the globe. The first of two launches is set for April 30th.
NASA and Rocket Lab are targeting 9 p.m. EDT, Sunday, April 30 (1 p.m. New Zealand Standard Time, Monday, May 1), to launch two storm tracking CubeSats into orbit.

Happy #NationalParkWeek! Our national parks are awe-inspiring and otherworldly - so much so that NASA visits them to prepare for exploring worlds beyond Earth - with permission from @NatlParkService of course.
NASA has tested Martian spacecraft on @DeathValleyNPS' dry and dusty terrain. Here, Carl Sagan stands with a mockup of the Viking lander. NASA continues to conduct research at the park's diverse and alien landscape.
.@YellowstoneNPS is famous for its geysers - as is Saturn’s moon Enceladus! A team from @NASAGoddard visited the park in the winter of 2019 to see if they could detect microbial life within the geysers and the surrounding icy surface.

"Whew! That's what I call a thrill." –Apollo 16 astronaut Ken Mattingly
Travelling at more than 11,000 m/s (36,000 ft/s) as the Apollo 16 spacecraft entered the atmosphere, its heat shield reached 2200–2480°C (4000–4500°F) and the crew pulled 7 Gs before its parachutes deployed. #NASAhistory
On April 27, 1972, Apollo 16 astronauts John W. Young, Thomas K. “Ken” Mattingly, and Charles M. Duke successfully ended their 11-day Moon landing mission with a splashdown in their Command Module (CM) Casper in the Pacific Ocean.

With more than 45 years in space already logged, this plan will keep Voyager 2’s science instruments turned on a few years longer than previously anticipated, enabling further revelations from interstellar space. #NASAhistory
The first of two TROPICS launches will send cyclone-tracking CubeSats to low Earth orbit from New Zealand. The launch window opens at 9pm ET April 30 (0100 UTC May 1).
A second launch is planned for May 16 to complete the constellation: go.nasa.gov/3Ax7aDG #NASA
NASA and Rocket Lab are targeting 9 p.m. EDT, Sunday, April 30 (1 p.m. New Zealand Standard Time, Monday, May 1), to launch two storm tracking CubeSats into orbit.
TOI-1075 b is one of the most massive super-Earths ever discovered. Nearly 10 times Earth’s mass, it orbits a small, red-orange star in only 14½ hours. This makes the planet extremely hot, with an estimated temperature of 1,922 degrees F (1,050 C). go.nasa.gov/3LzD1Kl #NASAExoplanets
Two astronauts work health checks and tool preps ahead of Friday's spacewalk as the rest of the Exp 69 crew conducts advanced @ISS_Research and lab maintenance today. blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/20… #ISS
As spacewalk preparations are under way aboard the International Space Station, the Expedition 69 crew is continuing its advanced microgravity research while maintaining orbital lab systems.

About two billion light-years away, a whole cluster of galaxies known as Abell 68 shines.
The massive gravitational field of Abell 68 is strong enough to bend the light paths of more distant galaxies, causing the warped shapes of some galaxies seen here: go.nasa.gov/442N3e1 #Hubble

Today, @VP Kamala Harris and @President_KR Yoon Suk Yeol were briefed on NASA’s work in climate change and air quality monitoring. @nasa’s TEMPO and the Republic of Korea’s GEMS mission will transform the way scientists observe air quality from space. go.nasa.gov/3L7D1jg #NASAEarth

Recently launched, NASA’s TEMPO mission will observe air quality over North America every hour and reveal how pollution exposure varies by neighborhood and within a city. go.nasa.gov/3VeObXZ #NASAEarth
NASA is preparing for the launch of an instrument that will provide new insight into air quality in North America, observing air pollution from space more frequently and in greater detail than previous space-based instruments.
On March 13, 2023, #Landsat 9 took these images of Tunulliarfik Fjord in Greenland. At the time, the fjord’s waters were capped with a layer of sea ice. 🌊🧊 go.nasa.gov/3V4P0m6 #NASAEarth
🧊 However, some of the “lines” in this image have more variation.
“These look like natural ice deformation features, most likely cracks or ridging due to tidal motion,” said @nasagoddard cryospheric scientist Nathan Kurtz. #NASAEarth
These #Landsat images have been pan-sharpened with a data processing technique to bring out more detail. Learn how pan-sharpening works: 🔍 go.nasa.gov/3AA2pch #NASAEarth

No, not April 25. It's what @NASAExoplanets scientists call the habitable zone of a star—the range where liquid water could exist on a planet's surface: go.nasa.gov/41FqY3w #NASA
Have you heard of the habitable zone? You're in one right now. It's the distance from a star where you might find exoplanets with liquid surface water. We use the habitable zone to help focus our search for life beyond Earth.
ok NASA we fucked this one up, can we get a super space ship ready before the oceans boil and Cthulhu rises again? Oh, and please leave Musk et al behind.
