50 years at MIT. One final hour. A professor spent half a century teaching. Knowing the end was near, he distilled everything into a single lecture. His last gift to the world. He passed away 5 months later. This is his final hour. Watch it this week. Seriously.

THE MOST JAW-DROPPING VIEWS OF EARTH FROM ARTEMIS II 🚀✨️ From the iconic Earthrise over the far side of the Moon to our blue planet hanging beautifully in the void — these are the moments that remind us why we go to space.

Start your week with some new photos from Artemis II! Though our journey around the Moon has ended, we're still retrieving plenty of new images. Keep an eye on our Artemis II multimedia gallery for image highlights from the mission: go.nasa.gov/4usiN8W

Wondering about those bright green and blue lights in the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea? I remember first learning about this phenomenon, the art of squid fishing, while I was a graduate student at @Scripps_Ocean. Fishermen use these lights to attract plankton and fish, and squid soon follow to catch their illuminated prey. The wavelengths of light used have shifted over the years, with the current scene so colorful it looks like a Christmas village.

NASA just shared the closest image ever taken of Jupiter... Each one of those swirls is a storm bigger than the entire Earth and going on for centuries. Let that sink in.

🌕 May brings a rare celestial rhythm: two Full Moons in a single calendar month! The first, known as the “Flower Moon,” marks a season of growth, as spring blossoms across the Northern Hemisphere. The second, often called a “Blue Moon,” highlights the precision and cadence of the Moon’s orbit—timing that is critical not only to how we experience it from Earth, but also to how we reach it. These lunar cycles shape mission design, from launch windows to landing opportunities. If your skies are clear, take a moment to look up tonight, and follow along as we continue our lunar exploration journey. #ispace #Moon #FullMoon #LunarExploration
