Two powerful earthquakes struck northern Venezuela on June 24, 2026. Satellite-based maps of ground displacement reveal how the land surface moved, providing insight into the forces behind the severe destruction. Let’s take a closer look at the map 👇

What starts as research to protect astronauts can lead to benefits here on Earth. NASA-funded studies of space radiation and DNA damage helped support a cancer diagnostic test, one more example of how exploration can spark innovation for everyday life. go.nasa.gov/3Ha7if5

A total solar eclipse will sweep over Greenland, Iceland and Spain on Aug. 12, 2026. The path of totality misses the U.S., so we're bringing it to you! NASA is heading into the path to study the Sun, and we'll broadcast it live. More details here: go.nasa.gov/4gg4L6w

Scientists are training a machine learning model to spot distant star-forming regions and YOU can help!🫵 Using just your computer or smartphone, the Galaxy Zoo: Clump Scout II project lets you view images & improve the algorithm. Get started: science.nasa.gov/citizen-scienc…

From feeding astronauts on long-duration missions to supporting indoor vertical farming on Earth, NASA plant-growth research shows how exploration can grow into everyday impact. That’s American innovation at work. go.nasa.gov/3QnBbkV

NASA's Dragonfly will explore Titan – a moon with rivers, dunes, and thick atmosphere – unlike anywhere we've ever visited. Join us July 16 at 2pm ET for a behind-the-scenes look at the mission. Bring your questions & set a reminder here: youtube.com/live/nQeXWoPfU…

Deep in the Sun, a razor-thin layer called the tachocline should have grown thick over billions of years — but it hasn't. New supercomputer simulations show turbulent magnetic fields within the Sun act like a "brake" to stop the tachocline from expanding: go.nasa.gov/4aF8YwQ

To explore farther into the universe, we also have to understand our home. 🌎 With more than 20 satellites, NASA tracks Earth’s land, ocean, ice, and atmosphere to help communities thrive. This unique view from space serves all life below. go.nasa.gov/4axfEgp

Mini Roman was just in Chicago and stopped by one of the city's most notable landmarks. This is a Roman Reminder: There is ONE WEEK LEFT to sign up to have your name aboard Roman as it flies a million miles away! go.nasa.gov/RomanNames This summer, we will be “Roman” Across America, sharing ways you can participate in activities leading up to the launch.

We're just getting started! American ingenuity is on full display as a first‑of‑its‑kind mission is now underway to meet, capture, and boost NASA’s Swift observatory before it slips too low in Earth orbit.

"The Artemis II journey around the Moon was just the beginning. Back on Earth, teams are analyzing postflight health data, organ chips from NASA's AVATAR investigation, and observations from a seven-hour lunar campaign to help prepare for future exploration. More: go.nasa.gov/4eFhBda

The next launch attempt of Northrop Grumman’s Pegasus XL rocket carrying LINK, Katalyst Space’s robotic servicing spacecraft to boost our Swift observatory, will be no earlier than July 3 at 4:35 a.m. ET. Get updates: science.nasa.gov/blogs/swift/

Today’s launch of Northrop Grumman’s Pegasus XL rocket carrying LINK, Katalyst Space’s robotic servicing spacecraft to boost our Swift observatory, has been postponed. Stay tuned for launch updates, and get the latest info: go.nasa.gov/3STKiKT

Discovery is our launchpad. 🔭✨ The science accomplished and technology implemented during Artemis II is helping us build the ultimate interplanetary survival guide for sending humans back to the Moon to stay. go.nasa.gov/4aLlwTi

Goooal! ⚽ During the #FIFAWorldCup, NASA air quality data is helping @CDCgov and its partners better understand the air that soccer players, fans, and nearby communities are breathing during the 2026 games.

🎶 So long, farewell, to you my friend, goodbye, for now, until we meet again…. at @NASAKennedy. During Roman's final days at @NASAGoddard, many people who have worked and followed this mission over many years reflect on its upcoming journey. Check out Roman’s final curtain call as it got ready to set sail.

Today’s launch of Northrop Grumman’s Pegasus XL rocket carrying LINK, Katalyst Space’s robotic servicing spacecraft to boost our Swift observatory, has been postponed. Next attempt will be no earlier than July 2 at 5:09 a.m. ET. Get updates: go.nasa.gov/4xVVwhY

Have a question about black holes, the Moon, exoplanets, Earth science? Our @NASAScience_ team is on the National Mall today at the NASA Pavilion, ready to talk about missions, history, and discoveries. Stop by, say hello, and explore the timeline of American exploration!
