You’re a good dude, @rookisaacman. I went to space academy in middle school in Huntsville and it was totally magical, really lit my fire. I was the “pilot” of our simulated shuttle mission and I nearly believed it was real. I’m sorry for all of this.

I caught up with Jared Isaacman to hear more about his plan for NASA, and what he’s going to do next (it’s probably not what you think). arstechnica.com/space/2025/06/…

🌞 See the Sun from a whole new angle. For the first time, our Solar Orbiter mission has captured close-up images of the Sun’s mysterious poles, regions long hidden from our view. In 2025, Solar Orbiter gave us a first-ever look at the Sun’s south pole. Remarkably, it found both north and south magnetic fields tangled together. This is a sign that the Sun is at the peak of its 11-year activity cycle, when its magnetic poles are ready to flip...

New observations from the Very Large Telescope in Chile may have caught a Jupiter-like planet at its moment of birth around another star. The universe just keeps on building more cool things. eso.org/public/images/…

Well over $20B in taxpayer, paid for assets being thrown away for a savings that's literally pennies on those dollars. I'm all for shrinking waste and increasing efficiencies in our government, but this is neither. science.org/content/articl…

Using adaptive-optics techniques, researchers have created ultra-high resolution images of the Sun's corona--and the results are astonishing. This video shows coronal rain: loops of plasma arching out from the Sun, cooling, and flowing back down. nso.edu/press-release/…

Luuucy, 'splain that if you can! The first images from the #LucyMission's asteroid Donaldjohanson flyby show an elongated contact binary shape, with an odd narrow neck between the two lobes. More data from Lucy will be analyzed in the coming weeks. go.nasa.gov/42mUZrJ

These dots are gas giant exoplanets captured by Webb's camera - the clearest infrared look we've gotten yet! Webb also detected carbon dioxide and heavy elements in the planets - evidence they may have formed in the same way as Jupiter and Saturn. go.nasa.gov/4iAM9Mt

#BlueGhost got her first diamond ring! Captured at our landing site in the Moon’s Mare Crisium around 3:30 am CDT, the photo shows the sun about to emerge from totality behind Earth. Hope to have more shots to share soon! #BGM1

Here it is: The first clear image of an eclipse of the Sun by the Earth, taken from the surface of the Moon. This is what last night's lunar eclipse looked like from the Blue Ghost lander's perspective on the Moon. Amazing! flickr.com/photos/firefly…
