This is a composite of the Moon, Mars, and Earth I made. The Moon and Earth are from Artemis II, and Mars is from the Psyche mission. Each image was taken *in the last six weeks*

Debris is a growing threat to orbital infrastructure, and it’s only going to get worse as the number of launches increases

Nature Magazine Editorial: Although led by NASA, Artemis II wasn’t just a US achievement; the mission was a collaborative effort. Long may such cooperation continue. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

« For many people back home on Earth, the mission was a brief reminder of the sheer scale of outer space, and a prompt to contemplate both our power and our powerlessness. It turned all of us into children at camp, lying supine and looking up at the stars, thinking very big thoughts. »

Via #NASA A better annotated image of the two craters around Mare Orientale that Jeremy Hansen asked to be named "Integrity" after the Artemis II Spacecraft and Carroll Crater, named for the wife of Reid Wiseman, who passed away in 2020 after a 5-year battle with cancer.

Athabasca was one of four final names for Canada’s Lunar Rover Mission, and was selected for the historical and cultural importance the waterway carries. www.townandcountrytoday.com/athabasca-ne...

Reid Wiseman on #Artemis II: "We have Earth out window 4 and Moon out window 3... the Moon is about 3-4 times the size of the Earth and it is almost full, and the Earth is just a small crescent out there... it's magnificent... such a majestic view out here" Mission Control: "Amaze, amaze, amaze!"

👨‍🚀 The #Artemis II crew are now further from home than any humans ever, and European engines brought them there 🚀. 🌍 The record of 400 171 km was previously held by the Apollo 13 mission 🌕.

NASA is 0.35% of the federal budget. In the ENTIRE HISTORY of NASA it has cost about the same as just the last 2 years of the DoD budget

Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is a mission specialist, meaning he has trained for all roles to jump into action wherever needed, like Koch. Artemis II is his first spaceflight, and he is the first Canadian to fly to the Moon. 5/5

🧵 NASA was just showing some of their visualizations that they are using to help with situational awareness on the Orion Spacecraft. The first shows where "Integrity" is and how much is left to go on the flight path. Below, it shows Earth's DSN stations & if they are in the day or at night.

Great introduction to the four crew members of @NASAArtemis II. This mission and the wonder of space exploration will create a touch point for a new generation, « a chance to create a moment of mass inspiration » www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/s...

A good sign: Artemis 2 astronauts now in quarantine Late on Friday, January 23, NASA announced that the Artemis 2 crew had started their "health stabilization program," otherwise known as quarantine, a good sign that the mission was on track for an evening launch on Friday, Feb. 6.

Sometimes you’re browsing the McMaster catalogue and come across something so adorable you add it to your cart without really needing it. This miniature ball valve did not disappoint.

166 years ago, on the 2nd of January 1860, Urbain Le Verrier announced the discovery of the planet 'Vulcan' at the Académie des Sciences in Paris. He was awarded the Legion d'honneur. The existence of the planet was disproved after 1915 thanks to Einstein's theory of relativity. #otd #history 🗃️
