So honored to be featured on the big #NASA account 🥰 Go check out OUR ALIEN EARTH, the #astrobiology field expedition documentary series, now streaming on NASA+! plus.nasa.gov/series/our-ali…

Can we detect life just from the gases around us? In Episode 4 of Our Alien Earth, astrobiologists test a new technique in Hawaiian lava tubes. 🌋 Watch their expedition and witness firsthand how we prepare to search for life on worlds like @NASAMars: go.nasa.gov/4qqGQ5P

We're back! Delve deep beneath the volcanoes of #Hawaii with four teams of #NASA astrobiologists as they investigate how life might survive in the subsurface of other worlds. Our Alien Earth: The Lava Tubes of Mauna Loa is now streaming on NASA+: plus.nasa.gov/video/our-alie…

Four teams. One mission: to advance NASA’s search for life beyond Earth. In a new episode of the NASA+ documentary Our Alien Earth, journey with astrobiologists into Hawai‘i’s lava tubes as they test tools that could one day guide explorers on Mars. go.nasa.gov/498SIUp

Our next #AskAstrobio guest, Dr. Amber Young, uses climate and photochemical modeling to identify clear signs of life in Earth’s atmosphere—and applies that expertise to develop new strategies for detecting life on distant rocky planets. Join her live Q&A on June 17 at 1pm ET: youtube.com/live/inUtccCID…

Our next guest for #AskAstrobio is Dr. Lígia Fonseca Coelho, an astrobiologist who studies biological pigments of a certain color that she says could expand our list of potential candidates for habitable worlds outside our solar system! What color planets should future telescopes include in their search? Vote here: youtube.com/channel/UC14eJ…

What if colors hold the key to finding alien life? Get answers straight from the expert! Dr. Lígia Coelho joins #AskAstrobio live today at 1pm ET to discuss her groundbreaking microbial research and space exploration innovations. Bring your questions & share for a shoutout: youtube.com/live/9Xx06kt8K…

New #NASA video series dropping: NASA for Kids | #ELI5 – the OSIRIS-REx Mission: Our First Asteroid Sample Return! Explain It Like I'm Five, because rocket science doesn't have to be hard 🚀

#AskAstrobio welcomes Dr. Sara Russell, a cosmic mineralogist & meteorite hunter who contributed to #OSIRISREx sample return discoveries! Sara studies the origin of water in the Solar System & geological processes of asteroids. Ask questions on March 27 at 1pm ET here: youtube.com/live/kYc2OJF3_…

Our next guest on #AskAstrobio, the Natural History Museum in London's Dr. Sara Russell, loves hunting for meteorites. Can you guess how many expeditions to Antarctica Dr. Russell has conducted in her career? Cast your vote here & join March 27 at 1pm ET: youtube.com/channel/UC14eJ…

On March 1, two worlds collide as we celebrate @EuropaClipper's first gravity assist on its way to the Jupiter system. It will fly by another astrobiology favorite for study – the planet Mars! Get a breakdown on the maneuver by our ocean world explorer: go.nasa.gov/43huZPd

Hey @EuropaClipper, thanks for swinging by the Red Planet! You were here for a gravity assist; I’m here for rock collecting—teamwork makes the interplanetary dream work as we seek to unlock the secrets of life beyond Earth. Wish you could've stayed for longer. Safe journeys!

We're reminded that every species that ever lived, every dream ever dared, existed on that pale blue dot connected across time and the universe itself. 🌍💙

#AskAstrobio welcomes Dr. Nathalie Cabrol, director of the Carl Sagan Center at the SETI Institute, on Feb. 6 at 3pm ET! Cabrol conducts field work research for Mars and Titan, document's life adaption to extremes, and more. Join the live Q&A: youtube.com/live/tr99MTIR1…

Our next guest on #AskAstrobio, Dr. Nathalie Cabrol from the SETI institute, conducts fieldwork all over the world. What record did she unknowingly break during a scientific expedition to Chile? Comment below for a chance to get a shout-out during tomorrow's live show! Vote: youtube.com/channel/UC14eJ…

📰It's breaking news from #OSIRISREx. Scientists found molecules key to life as we know it & the history of a saltwater environment in a new analysis of asteroid Bennu samples. Findings don't show evidence for life but suggest conditions for its emergence were widespread.

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! 🙌 Today over 300 students from across the U.S. are starting their first day as #NASAInterns. They'll help pave the way for a brighter tomorrow as part of the #ArtemisGeneration. Join our next cohort: intern.nasa.gov
