Remember interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS? 🌠 This rare comet passed through our solar system, but NASA’s open data means researchers can continue studying it for decades to come. That’s open science in action: go.nasa.gov/3PhJ2A5

Interns on 3! 1, 2, 3, INTERNS! 🙌 Ready to put your hand in & join the @NASA internship squad? Applications are due at 11:59 p.m. EDT TONIGHT! 🕛 Get application tips: nasa.gov/learning-resou… Apply: nasa.gov/learning-resou…

@benwithhat No worries, there are so many ways you can get involved! Check out our many citizen science projects, where people around the world can contribute to real NASA research and discoveries. science.nasa.gov/citizen-scienc…

@NASAScience_ what are the opportunities for non us citizens? are there any?

If you’re seeing this… this is your sign. Take the next giant leap in your future by applying for an internship, where students work on real NASA projects, build technical and professional skills, and learn directly from NASA mentors: go.nasa.gov/4tSQNdU

Not a college student? Know someone who is? Send this their way and help launch their future with NASA 🚀 Deadline: Friday, May 22 go.nasa.gov/4tSQNdU

Results from space station research in 2025 provided new insights in regenerative medicine, astronaut protection, and robotic surgery in space. Every year, space station teaches us how to live off-planet and improve life on Earth. 🌑🌍 Read more: go.nasa.gov/4fvC7xA

We're building a Moon Base! @NASAMoonBase will serve as a habitat where astronauts live and work during long-term science missions. Join us at 2pm ET on Tuesday, May 26, for a live news event where we’ll share updates on our lunar exploration plans: go.nasa.gov/4uinkLi

What happens next for AVATAR? Four astronauts returned from Artemis II, but they weren't alone. Inside the capsule were organ chips grown from crew cells, to help researchers study the effects of deep space on human health. Now the analysis begins: go.nasa.gov/4tFLCO9

Hello Mars, goodbye Mars 👋 NASA’s #MissionToPsyche spacecraft was speeding by the Red Planet on May 15 when it snapped this rare, crescent view of Mars. The successful flyby flung the Psyche spacecraft toward its final destination: the metal-rich asteroid Psyche. 1/2

The AEPEX satellite was successfully deployed! 🛰️ This new CubeSat watches for X-rays from particles raining into our atmosphere. The data will improve space weather forecasts and protect the satellites and communications we rely on every day. 📡 go.nasa.gov/4tDxmpb

Earth is constantly immersed in a stream of charged particles flowing outward from the Sun: the solar wind. When it encounters Earth’s magnetic field, it creates a massive shock wave in space that can be chaotic or calm. Help scientists understand why as part of NASA's new Shock Detectives citizen science project: go.nasa.gov/3RyRFqt

Package delivered… in microgravity! ✅ From experiments advancing possible new therapies for osteoporosis to an instrument that will study Earth’s ring current that affects our power grids and satellites, the @Space_Station just received a new batch of science!

How do planets form? Tiny grains of dust orbiting a newborn star collide, grow, and eventually build entire worlds. ✨🪐 A NASA scientist explains how planets like Earth came to be: youtu.be/1A_73j71WkE?si…

Today's the day! The #MissionToPsyche spacecraft is now on final approach to Mars. Real-time updates to follow.

NASA is seeking industry collaboration for the Mars Telecommunications Network. Reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity will enable future Red Planet explorers to send science data, imagery, and critical mission information to Earth. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3R17eXU

Our TESS telescope has released its most complete view of the starry sky yet! All those dots? They're confirmed and candidate planets! Since launching in April 2018, TESS has been scanning wide swaths of the sky to build up this mosaic. go.nasa.gov/49MK9hU

Your name… on a scientific paper? 👀 650+ NASA volunteers have co-authored peer-reviewed research after contributing to real discoveries. Here’s how it happens and how you can be a part of it: go.nasa.gov/4d7SWMh

Due to forecasted inclement weather, @NASA and @SpaceX now are targeting no earlier than 6:50 p.m. EDT Wednesday, May 13, for the company’s 34th commercial resupply services mission to the @Space_Station. Watch NASA’s live launch coverage beginning at 6:30 p.m. on NASA+, Amazon Prime, and the agency’s YouTube channel. Read more: nasa.gov/blogs/spacesta…

Launching on @NASA and @SpaceX upcoming cargo launch, the ODYSSEY investigation will study bacterial behavior in space to help protect astronauts and equipment on future long-duration missions: go.nasa.gov/4eIUezP
