Today at NASA headquarters, our administrator, @SenBillNelson took @VP and @EmmanuelMacron on a virtual trip around the Moon with views from the #Artemis I mission.

Now, it's your turn. Allons-y!

Before he was an astronaut, Neil Armstrong was a @nasa test pilot, testing research planes including the X-15. Milt Thompson called him "the most technically capable of the early X-15 pilots." On the last of his 7 X-15 flights in July 1962 he reached Mach 5.74.

As a kid, the X-15 was the most exciting thing. I had pictures of it and paid close attention to all the action. Then the Mercury launches. Oh Boy! You guys really gave us a lot to be proud of while I was growing up!
in reply to NASA

It was once said about Armstrong that if you put an engine on a garbage can lid, he could fly it. He got his pilot's license before his driver's license. It's no surprise he flew the X-15 with ease.


Uhโ€ฆ what happened to mastodon.social/@Meyerweb/1094โ€ฆ? I canโ€™t see it, either in threads or by going there directly.

I suspect they have better and much more pressing things to do right now than look into a single-toot loss, but I appreciate the thought.

True - but has their servers any hope of being resized in posting to millions instead of thousands of followers? And where do the millions of instantlyTwitter dispossessed Twitterati sign up?

The Pleiades is a star cluster you can see without a telescope! Though called the โ€œseven sistersโ€ for its brightest members, the cluster contains over a thousand stars loosely bound by gravity. Our WISE telescope captured this infrared image: go.nasa.gov/3XJ1HE7 #StarrySights

The James Webb Space Telescope has been named a Popular Science #BOWN22 winner in Aerospace! Congrats to the full team. More: go.nasa.gov/3ugHQ1D

"Receiving this award is a tribute to all who contributed to its success." -Julie Van Campen, Webb systems engineer
#JamesWebb



The team used data from Argo floats, underwater instruments that drift and bob with ocean currents.

These devices measure chlorophyll-a and particulate carbon in the water โ€“ both factors that indicate phytoplankton are present.
#NASAEarth



Ice height data from @nasaโ€™s ICESat-2 satellite and ice-cover models allowed the team to map where and how much light was penetrating through thin spots and openings in Antarctic sea ice, and how the ice moved over time.

Here are complementary Hubble & Webb views of this galactic pair. While Hubble shows the merger in visible light, Webbโ€™s image shines in infrared. The star-forming regions in the galaxies are particularly bright in infrared light. Slide between both views: bit.ly/3FfdZwT

Even baby stars burp!

Data from our retired Spitzer Space Telescope shows that young protostars can experience outbursts about every 400 years. These eruptions are a sign that the growing stars are devouring gas and dust from disks that surround them. go.nasa.gov/3gRVxkj

I have finally said something substantial about this topic.

Mauna Loa is erupting for the first time in 4 decades, with lava flows reaching 100-200 feet in some cases.

As the volcano began erupting Nov. 27, the @nasa/@NOAA Suomi NPP satellite captured nighttime imagery of the lavaโ€™s intensely glowing light & heat. go.nasa.gov/3XDS6hX
#NASAEarth

in reply to NASA

Can they not find a virgin to toss in and appease Pepe?


As the volcano erupts, Mauna Loa is emitting sulfur dioxide (SO2), a pungent gas that reacts with oxygen and water to form a gray volcanic haze called vog.

This map shows where the @esa Sentinel-5P satellite detected sulfur dioxide with its TROPOMI sensor.
