Exams are less than one month away 👀 Last year, 50% of ISC students achieved an A* or A grade in their A levels, whilst the proportion of IB students achieving 40 points or more was three and a half times the global average. Good luck to those taking their exams this year!

🌖 Once in a blue moon, history changes forever. This month, @Astro_Christina became the first woman to fly on a Moon mission. On #HumanSpaceflightDay, we celebrate her and all women shaping our future beyond Earth. Give women a seat on the spaceship 🚀 #ForAllWomenAndGirls

For National Pet Day, we’ve found this photo from 1944 in the archives. Monica Jane Angier, wearing her WAAF uniform, takes a moment in the garden with a feline friend. It's proof that even in the most secretive of settings, there was always time for a little companionship. Tag an animal lover who’d enjoy this!

Katherine Johnson, the brilliant mathematician who helped @NASA put a man on the Moon talks about the importance of math

“ Looking back at Earth, it truly emphasized how alike we are - and how special and precious that is when you notice how much else there is around it.” - Christina Koch

So many young girls have found their new role model.

Wake up—it's Artemis II's last day in space! As the crew prepares to splash down in the Pacific Ocean this evening, they started their day with "Run To The Water" by Live, their wake-up song played by Mission Control.

Imagine having this view as you’re commuting home. The Artemis 2 crew is now falling to Earth, picking up speed every second as gravity relentlessly pulls them. When they plow into the upper atmosphere they’ll be the fastest humans in history - with nothing but air to slow them

More than 57 years later, the astronauts’ footprints still lie undisturbed on the surface of the Moon.

"Copy, moon joy." 🌕✨ The #ArtemisII mission's stunning new images of the moon are making us think about the lunar maps created long before space travel was possible for humankind. This one is by Polish astronomer Johannes Hevelius (1611-1687), often referred to as the founder of lunar topography. 🧵

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back. Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-mul…

✅ #Artemis II update: 'Earthset', 6 April 2026, and 'totality', 7 April, seen from lunar orbit, the Moon eclipses the Sun, a view few humans have ever witnessed (pics: NASA) 🔗nasa.gov/gallery/journe…
