Jupiter and the moon are close together tonight, so I captured each of them at high magnification and composited them into the same frame. This is how they look relative to each other in the sky. Jupiter looks 50x smaller in than the moon here, but is actually 2000x further away.
🤘 Metalheads, digital creators, and people who just rock: Apply by Monday, Aug. 28, for a chance to snap photos and video at @NASAKennedy of the launch of our #MissionToPsyche, set to lift off on a @SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket on Oct. 5. go.nasa.gov/3YMOgE1 Psyche is a unique metal-rich asteroid believed to be the core of a failed planet. Yeah, you could say it's hardcore.
What could an ancient river tell us about Mars? This sample may give us insight into how water once flowed in Jezero Crater. Water is a key part of life and #MarsSampleReturn could bring this sample to Earth for further study to see if microscopic life ever existed on Mars.
Have any plans for the long weekend? 55 Cancri e, or Planet Janssen, orbits a star only 41 light years away. Explore a lava ocean under sparkling silicate skies. This uninhabitable place may be the fiery vacation you’ve been looking for. 🔥
Strap in – it’s time to meet your ancient ancestors! Fossilized microbial communities in Western Australia are helping scientists hone their skills for detecting potential ancient life on Mars. Join us on an expedition to see what our own backyard can teach us about the search for life elsewhere alongside members of @NASAMars, @ESA, @AusSpaceAgency, and @CSIRO. Dive into the details: go.nasa.gov/45F9Uwj
