NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter

I have an update. I'm moving to hang out with @NASAMoon full-time. Stay in touch! Follow @NASAMoon for the latest Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter news. Thank you, LRO fans, for the love 💙🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘💙

The Moon’s over Fenway Park. My team is here for #stemday with the @RedSox!

While we love every full Moon, there’s a special place in our hearts for the Harvest Moon, which is the full Moon closest to the fall equinox. Many cultures have holidays connected to this Moon, including the mid-Autumn festival in some East Asian countries and Chuseok in Korea!

@JimBridenstine @UofNH @nasa_lro @NASA @SenatorShaheen We are so happy we can contribute to the safety of our #Artemis astronauts!

@Puringms @NASA All of the Apollo equipment was designed to handle extreme temperatures, so it wasn’t necessary to cool the rocks first. A thermometer deployed at the #Apollo11 site showed the daytime temperature reached 160° F, dipping to 120° F in shadow. bit.ly/2LvFRSx

Okay. Hit me with your lunar questions. Use #Apollo50th to ask my scientists any Moon questions you have! And join @NASA live at 1 PM ET for go.nasa.gov/2LvYXYH

@TheRealMoogy @NASA Once technological advances allow the ability to use He-3 for nuclear fusion, with a net gain of energy, scientists and engineers may be able to mine He-3 on the Moon in an economically feasible way. Scientists estimated that there are over 1M metric tons of He-3 on the Moon.

@ChaseBrooks13 @NASA It’s likely the ascent stage formed this type of crater, but at that time we didn’t have the surveillance to find it. And at this point, finding this small crater on the pockmarked Moon is like finding a needle in a haystack. (2/2)

@ChaseBrooks13 @NASA In my 10 years at the Moon, I've taken continuous high-res imagery of the lunar surface, which has enabled me to detect over 500 new craters, the largest being ~70 meters in diameter. (1/2)

How does @NASA organize an #Apollo50th celebration? We planet!😜🌑🚀 Find an event near you. go.nasa.gov/2VHtXdS

Happy #Apollo50th anniversary! I remember what it's like - the anticipation of launching on a rocket to the Moon.

What a great day for moons! Congratulations to #Dragonfly, our next New Frontiers mission. We can't wait to see you soar to Saturn's moon Titan. go.nasa.gov/2ZSyKGY

What a cool space lunchbox! Let's see your space lunchboxes. Bonus points for Moon-themed ones 😄

Omg look how cute I was on my first day at the Moon 10 years ago #OTD! I’ve learned SO much since then. Here are 10 highlights I’ve learned about @NASAMoon in my 10 years (and counting) here. #LRO10th go.nasa.gov/2Lg2xoT

10 years ago #OTD I entered lunar orbit! Since then, I've orbited the Moon over 40,000 times. Here's a few highlights of what I've learned.

Traveling back in time to 2009. The Black Eyed Peas were rocking the charts. Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th U.S. President. And there was so much we still didn’t know about the Moon. #LRO10th Love hearing your memories of 2009! youtu.be/j-5t4de6jjI

@LRO_NASA Attending your first birthday party 🥳 Congrats @LRO_NASA! Thanks for all the amazing science so far, and keep it coming!

Happy 10th Birthday @LRO_NASA! Thanks for all the awesome data that made my PhD possible + all the amazing images and videos I use to inspire the next generation! #ToTheMoon
