Soon... full moon! The next full moon will light the night skies on Sunday, May 31. If you've ever wanted to take a great picture of the Moon, check out our Lunar Photography Guide for tips and tricks: science.nasa.gov/moon/photograp…

After a 12-year career at NASA, U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Andrew R. Morgan has retired from the agency to continue his military service. Morgan was selected as an astronaut in 2013 and later spent 272 days in space aboard the International @Space_Station. Read more: nasa.gov/news-release/n…

Growing stem cells in space to treat cancer and disease. 🩸🚀 Researchers are working to produce high-quality stem cells in larger quantities in space. This could improve patient outcomes for people on Earth that have blood cancers, immune diseases, and other blood disorders. go.nasa.gov/4ealC8b

@starwars Hi Grogu! 👋

Artemis II's Victor Glover and Reid Wiseman are no stranger to a galaxy far, far away! Victor brought an extra special zero-g indicator during his first mission, Crew-1, in 2020... Grogu! #TheMandalorianAndGrogu

RT @Space_Station: Two cosmonauts are over five hours into their spacewalk installing a solar radiation experiment and removing physics res…

Another glimpse inside the @Space_Station Life Sciences Glovebox (LSG). It was time to provide the neocartilage mentioned in last week’s post with some fresh nutrients, so yesterday I conducted a media exchange. This nifty chamber designed for space has septa on each side, so I can attach 2 syringes – one to withdraw the old media, while simultaneously injecting fresh media. The glovebox helps us prevent contamination in the chamber and also protects us and the space station atmosphere from any potentially harmful chemicals.

The view from Orion as it climbs higher, faster, and farther from home. 🌕   Captured from Orion’s exterior cameras, this view shows Earth turning below as the spacecraft aligns for its apogee‑raise burn. One hour and 46 minutes after launch, the SLS upper stage fired for 18 minutes to push Orion into high Earth orbit — the first step on the path from our home planet to the Moon and beyond.

LIVE: Watch two cosmonauts go on a spacewalk. They'll install a solar radiation experiment, remove other science hardware, and if time allows, inspect and photograph an antenna on the Progress 94 cargo spacecraft. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

On Tuesday, June 9, we’ll announce the four astronauts who will orbit Earth aboard the @NASAArtemis III mission! Watch our live event at 11 a.m. EDT (1500 UTC) to find out who will test the docking capabilities necessary for crewed Moon landings: nasa.gov/news-release/n…

.@NASAAdmin and other NASA leadership shared plans for the @NASAMoonBase during a news conference today! Check out photos from the event here: 📷flic.kr/s/aHBqjCUTPj

Behold the “space cake.” Making cakes on the @Space_Station with our rather limited “baking” supplies is an art, requiring creativity and resourcefulness. I loved making cakes for my crewmates on my first mission and considered myself adept, but our cosmonaut colleagues on Expedition 74 have certainly taken it to the next level. Here’s an example of their recent work, in celebration of 100 days in space for @astro_hathaway and @Soph_astro, and my 300th day. It tasted even better than it looked!

@NASAMoonBase @blueorigin @NASAAdmin The second @NASAMoonBase mission will fly cargo to the lunar surface aboard the @Astrobotic Griffin lander and the third will deliver payloads chosen through open competition as well as international partners. Both missions are targeted to launch before the end of 2026.

@NASAMoonBase The first of three @NASAMoonBase missions will be the @BlueOrigin Mark I Endurance lander, set to launch NET Fall 2026. @NASAAdmin Isaacman describes how this mission will send scientific payloads to the lunar South Pole region and reduce risk for future astronaut explorers.

The future of living and working on the Moon starts now. Tune in at 2pm👇

On her 75th birthday, we remember Dr. Sally Ride, the first American woman in space! At the age of 32, this physicist and astronaut launched aboard Challenger in June 1983 for her first of two space missions. Her example inspired generations to reach for the stars. ✨

This Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their courage secured the freedoms that make great endeavors possible and continues to inspire generations of Americans to serve something larger than themselves. We remember them, and we remain forever grateful.

"A short time ago, at a NASA center not so far away..."    This week, John Knoll, Chief Creative Officer for Industrial Light & Magic -- and the Mandalorian and Grogu themselves -- visited Johnson Space Center. They learned about our work in human spaceflight, including through the International Space Station and Artemis, inspiring and benefitting humans in our own galaxy.
