Happy 50th, Skylab!

Our first space station launched into orbit on May 14, 1973. Skylab hosted three crews of @NASA_Astronauts, proving that humans could live and work in space for extended periods of time. Learn more with @NASA_History: go.nasa.gov/3nVqFmz

When we say “supermassive black holes,” just how do they measure up?

Using their shadows for size, we’ve rounded up 10 black holes and compared them to objects in our solar system. Don’t worry – these black holes are many light-years away: go.nasa.gov/3HIcDeW #BlackHoleWeek

Tale as old as time. ☄️

Unusual asteroid Phaethon behaves like a comet. It brightens and forms a tail as it nears the Sun and is the source of a meteor shower, something usually led by comets. But this asteroid's tail tells a different story:
