Possibly the hardest measurement in physics.

James Burke really is in a different league …

The approach to Tromsø is quite nice today …. :-)

One week in the solar system 🪐 Even as @NASAArtemis II was making its historic trip to the Moon, several other @NASA missions were exploring all across the solar system. Here are just a few of the images some of them captured during one week science.nasa.gov

An important step driven by the advocacy of early career researchers like @LucienHeurtier and the determination of the Science, Innovation and Technology committee led by @ChiOnwurah , which has shown unwavering support for fundamental science and young researchers in the UK!

Today at 2:30pm ET (1830 UTC), the Artemis II astronauts will discuss their historic mission around the Moon now that they have returned from their record-setting journey. youtube.com/live/_43Ei9eQV…

It’s really good news, this - and I’m also encouraged by the positive reaction from Europe (below is just one example). Maybe we’ve turned the corner and can finally begin to put the last decade behind us.

Many don’t know this, but on world quantum day you can’t be expected to commute!

The strongest storm of 2026 - Super Typhoon Sinlaku - seen LIVE from space. 185 mph winds. Category 5. Captured by Sen’s 4K cameras on the ISS

Good luck to the magnificent @EricIdle on the first night of his Northern European tour this evening in Stockholm! ericidle.com/tour/

Three years since Juice launched on its journey to Jupiter. Arriving in 2031, it will explore the giant planet and its icy ocean moons, seeking to study them as both planetary objects and possible habitats. Next up, teams are preparing for the mission's upcoming Earth gravity assist manoeuvre later this year in September. More info 👇esa.int/Science_Explor…

We’re excited to share this short but amazing view of re-entry with @NASA and the incredible Artemis II crew @astro_reid @AstroVicGlover @Astro_Christina @Astro_Jeremy!

@erikstarck That’s a shame. I think we will be coming back to Northern Europe at some point in 2027 on this tour, so maybe you’ll get to see it live! Not sure if we’ll record it …

@ProfBrianCox Unfortunately will miss you in Lund due to some unforeseen travel. Any chance the tour will be recorded and released online in the future?

You meet all sorts in Malmö …

✅ #Artemis II splashdown at 01:07 BST/02:07 CEST!

And splashdown! America is back in the business of sending astronauts to the Moon and bringing them home safely. Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy did an outstanding job. These talented astronauts inspired the world and represented their space agencies and nations as humanity’s ambassadors to the stars. This was a test mission, the first crewed flight of SLS and Orion, pushing farther into the unforgiving environment of space than ever before, and it carried real risk. They accepted that risk for all we stood to learn and for the exciting missions that follow, as we return to the lunar surface, build a Moon base, and prepare for what comes next. And they were not alone. The entire NASA workforce, our commercial and international partners, and the hopes and dreams of people all over the world were with them. The astronauts know it, and you should too. This mission would not have been possible without you. Congratulations. Artemis II, mission accomplished.

Hello, Earth.

@cierrasbabe Thank you :-) I enjoyed it immensely this evening!

Just saw @ProfBrianCox and why did I get emotional?! It was phenomenal. I wish I could experience it all over again.

Astonishing views at the moment of Earth getting closer from Artemis 2. An uplifting mission to the Moon during a difficult time on Earth - as was Apollo 8. nasa.gov/live/
