Are you seeing RED lately?!? The planet #Mars will be in opposition soon (July 27-31). It's been 15 years since it's been this close to Earth! 🌎 Here's an interview with Scott Roberts from Explore Scientific on the #MarsOpposition2018 youtu.be/V-s15o16XAo

Today’s Astronomy Picture of the Day was taken by our friend from Brazil, @carlosfairbairn. @apod #NWASpace #astronomy! It’s my turn to visit next. apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.…

@MikeAWB So far we have packed up just under 200,000 pairs of good glasses. Check nwa.space/events for upcoming dates when you can come help. #AWB

I do now! Hey, all, this is important so check it out and share it. These folks are checking the safety of 2 million(!) glasses before they’re sent to schools in South America and Asia for future eclipses. I’m at #CAP2018 right now talking to people in these countries about this. twitter.com/NWASpace/statu…

Awesome STEM career by an utterly amazing woman! twitter.com/usgs/status/97…

Did you know you can see where glasses have been sent to @awb_org on our website? nwa.space/eclipse-glasse…

I’m on board. twitter.com/nasasun/status…
