NASA will announce the crew of Artemis III on Tuesday, June 9. www.nasa.gov/news-release...

Y'all: If you're interested in #geodynamics, #earthquakes, or #tectonics, our Tectonic Geodynamics textbook is currently on sale for $65 @princetonupress.bsky.social and a new set of lecture slides along with PUP instructor resources are at www-udc.ig.utexas.edu/external/bec...

Mount St. Helens erupted 46 years ago this week — removing over 1,000 feet from the volcano’s summit. More here: creators.yahoo.com/lifestyle/st... I made these maps with a relatively new (2024) elevation model from the USGS: www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item... 🌋🗺️📊

Hey you! Do you like impacts craters? Well, great news. Just over a month left to submit an abstract to our annual meeting! Come chat about all things craters! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Please enjoy the abundance of poison ivy growing up my neighbor's tree. How lovely, so itchy.

Are you looking for an alternative to overwhelming AGU or complicit LPSC? Try DPS! It's right-sized, inclusive, and backed by an active professional society who lobbies hard for planetary science. We'd love for you to join us in expanding our meeting scope to encompass your science!! 🔭🧪

Upcoming PCC Meeting July 15-17 at the USGS-Flagstaff! Abstract Submission (deadline June 17): forms.gle/APaNS8G7ycJx... Registration: forms.gle/RpGWUMaK6qdk... We welcome submission for all things craters Observational work, planetary remote sensing, modeling, field work, lab experiments, etc.!

Happy Cocodona 250 week to those who celebrate! www.aravaiparunning.com/cocodona/coc... #ultrarunning

NASA just dropped 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. Too many to add to ArtemisTimeline.com, so I just put up a tool at ArtemisTimeline.com/vote so that people can vote on small batches allowing for all of the images to be sorted! (yes, I posted this before, but I had to fix something!)

A wave of darkness is spreading across Mars. These images show dramatic changes to the Martian surface over the past 50 years, as volcanic dust blows through an ancient impact basin. 🧪🔭 www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

- 14 Dec 2023: #ArtemisII crew met with President Biden and discussed their upcoming lunar mission and viewed a Moon rock on display. - 29 Apr 2026: Artemis II crew met with President Trump. Media focused on Iran, Russia, FBI Director Comey, redistricting, and UFOs

Done. The only related question was about the possibility of moving NASA HQ out of DC. Issacman said it's best to keep HQ in DC to meet with Senators and stakeholders. Trump then proceeded to go on a rant about how extremely safe DC is now.

White House greeting with the Artemis II astronauts on right now and so far all the questions are policitical and non-Artemis related.

The gentleman next to me on my red eye keeps saying his legs. I feel the motion in my seat, of course. This is either going to keep me up or put me to sleep. Eeek!

As the Artemis II crew was rounding the Moon—the first crewed lunar mission in 54 years—the White House was proposing to cut NASA's budget and terminate FIFTY science missions. Here's a timely rundown of just *some* of what we'd lose if those cuts came to pass. www.planetary.org/articles/mee...

You know what this heat wave can't touch?

JournoJob alert: Come work with me at CNN Climate & Weather. Must have multimedia skills & be a sharp editor to shepherd and edit weather edutainment stories. This is a great role for the right person. careers.wbd.com/global/en/jo... (You can also be based in DC, NYC etc).

I am really proud to have played a small part in helping organise the 2026 Planetary Science Community Workshop at the Kentucky Science Center in Louisville, KY! We're a small workshop, but we're entirely community driven. And maybe the start of something bigger.

The HiRISE team notes the passing of two esteemed friends and colleagues: Deputy Principal Investigator emerita Candice Hansen-Koharcheck and Co-Investigator Paul Geissler. More about Candice: www.psi.edu/staff/profil... More about Paul: www.legacy.com/us/obituarie...

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

To the reporters who have asked NASA bold questions that never got answered, you're awesome and keep asking!

Science is good. We should fund it.

If you’ve been moved & inspired by Artemis, NASA needs your help. Literally during A2, the president proposed cutting NASA science 47%, canceling 54 missions, including many already in-flight. To help stop these cuts, check out @planetarysociety.bsky.social www.planetary.org/save-nasa-sc...

About to say words that have been rarely said in the past few years: NASA is Hiring! If you are, or know of anyone, in between undergrad and grad school (or still deciding if grad school is the right move) then consider applying to a NASA Goddard Post-Bac position! cresst2.breezy.hr 1/3

NASA's Barbara Cohen created this image of the Moon's Pierazzo crater, named after our late PSI colleague Betty Pierazzo. Betty was an expert in impact modeling and the astrobiological and environmental effects of impacts. She also passionately supported students and other teachers.

Did you know that NASA will be *flying* around on Saturn's ridiculously huge moon Titan… in less than TEN YEARS? Yeah, Dragonfly is awesome. www.scientificamerican.com/article/nasa... I wrote this! 🔭 🧪

Day 36. The money already spent on the conflict with Iran could fund #NASA SMD at FY26 enacted rates for more than 5 years. Yet the #pbr wants to cut NASA science by ~50% (as the president tried to do last year, which #Congress rejected). #NoWarWithIran #FundScience #SaveScience #Federalbudget

Why are fruit cups always half cantaloupe which is, like, the worst fruit ever?

Fuck it, let the Q continum run shit for awhile

On Monday this week, as four humans flew around the far side of the Moon, Nature correspondent Alexandra Witze sat at the heart of the Artemis II mission’s science operations. Here's what she saw. go.nature.com/4dE5gpv

Moonpie's got game.

Seems like it was a good day to be busy with work and look at photos of the Moon. #areweokay #areyouokay

The Moon and stars are blurred because the GoPro attached to the capsule needed a longer exposure to capture the image, taken while in the Moon's shadow, and the spacecraft was moving during the exposure.

Like, this is REAL!

🚀 #Artemis II update: the reaction control system thrusters on our European Service Module have performed the first of three trajectory correction burns as Orion and its crew make their way back home 🌍

BUT I WANNA TALK ABOUT THE BUDGET

Waking up to the awe-inspiring images from NASA at the same time the US President is implying that he will commit genocide, I can't think of a better quote for the times than this one from Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell. I added it to today's Earthset image:

Your taxpayer money at work! www.nasa.gov/gallery/luna...

Also now a NASA Artemis_II gallery images.nasa.gov/album/Artemi...

The #Artemis II astronauts said they needed more superlatives to describe their view of the eclipse, when the Sun was behind the Moon and its near surface was faintly illuminated by Earthshine

The Artemis II crew just reported several impact flashes—explosions from hypervelocity impacts of meteoroids with the Moon—during the solar eclipse. We make a big effort to see a handful of these from Earth with telescopes. That astronauts flying by the Moon saw >4 in tens of minutes is AWESOME.

This feels almost like a chicken race of a flyby. Orion turning towards the approaching Moon. But then missing it. Play with the 3D of the flyby via my interactive HTML file with a Plotly 3d plot from here: figshare.com/ndownloader/... (55 MB dowload). Based on NASA's trajectory data, converted

Why are scientists, particularly geologists, so excited to get new images and human observations of the far side of the moon? A planets geology is the ultimate “crime scene”. Let me explain…. #Artemis ⚒️🧪
