Then he and Frog ran outside to see how the world was looking in the spring.

For those more patient than me, the raw NEF (Nikon) files will be archived in the PDS imaging node.

For the image processors: When you click download for an image, change "~large.jpg" to "~orig.jpg" and you'll get the full resolution image. Still jpeg compressed, though.

Many things can be true at once

FYI, this gallery has all the photos NASA is sharing from Artemis II in one place, with descriptions.

As Artemis II continues its journey to the Moon, having passed the halfway point late last night, the next point of interest I’m watching for is when the Orion Spacecraft passes the gravitational neutral point and is more strongly attracted to the Moon than to Earth. 1/2

#Artemis II update: our European Service Module's main engine performed the translunar injection so precisely that flight controllers in Houston decided to cancel the first of three outbound trajectory correction burns on the way to the Moon 🥳

The Planetary Society has re-launched our Save NASA Science action hub today given the draconian cuts proposed in the FY 2027 NASA budget — follow here for running updates, statements, charts, and advocacy actions you can take now: planetary.org/save-nasa-sc...

Watch LIFE UNEARTHED with Ariel Waldman on @pbs.org Stream, watch, rent or download in the U.S. and Canada! Episodes released weekly. Season 1 explores Antarctica and the North American Prairies.

Hey y’all hope you’re ready to fight for NASA again! www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

😮 Awesome views from Day 2 of #Artemis II this morning. @exploration.esa.int @esaearth.esa.int

“They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science…And they’re replacing all of it — the offices, the scientists, the institutional knowledge, the professional independence — with fifteen political appointees”

More proposed cuts to NASA in the new president budget request. A topline budget of $18.8 billion, which is a 23% decrease to the enacted budget for this year. Once again, science takes a significant proposed cut -- we'll see if it flies with Congress www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Yes, you would look hotter on the Moon and this is why you can’t be an astronaut because that much heat would melt things and people.

A thing of beauty—Voyager 1 is calling home right now and the Madrid station is also connected to Artemis 2. You can watch the deep space network live anytime you want. eyes.nasa.gov/apps/dsn-now...

Hi there, I'm Barbara and I work on the Artemis II Lunar Science team. I'll be here for a couple hours while watching the preparations for launch and happy to take your questions! www.youtube.com/live/Tf_UjBM...

If you'd like to follow along with the #Artemis II launch, NASA has a live blog here: www.nasa.gov/blogs/missio... and you can watch the official broadcast on the NASA site here: plus.nasa.gov/scheduled-vi... or on YouTube here: www.youtube.com/live/Tf_UjBM...

I worked hard to become a writer. And I enjoy being a writer. I'm not here to let techbro robots take that shit away from me.

This follow-up to NASA’s DART mission should be fascinating.

I literally said ‘That’s what I’ve been saying!’ out loud in the cinema and my husband shushed me.

the thing thats just not coming through in the coverage of, well of anything but particularly the war, is that theres literally no reason for any of it and republicans are making your life worse but cant explain why or what the payoff is supposed to be

I saw an owl nesting atop a power pole along the Florida space coast this morning. I was surprised at first, but of course I shouldn't have been. They are everywhere they please to be, and I am always pleased to be near them, wherever that is.

My heart is warmed by the 10,000 that showed in my mid-sized city in my deep red state. It's incredibly important for people to know they're by no means alone.

HiPOD: Bedrock in Valles Marineris This image was targeted to a region showing mineral diversity in the CRISM hyperspectral data. The enhanced-color cutout shows a portion of the scene with diverse colors, indicating different rock types. https://uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_091969_1660 #Mars #science

NEW: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been transforming a government that long championed vaccines into one that questions their safety. This is what could happen over the next 25 years if shots are unavailable even to the people who want them.

like there is very literally a sign on the moon that says the astronauts came for all mankind

Jupitershine on the salt flats. (A couple of moons in there, too.)

From NASA 👎 (That's a good thing.) This may look like a scene from Project Hail Mary, but it's a real picture from the space station. See more about the actual science behind the book and movie: science.nasa.gov/the-science-...

Here is watercolorist Thordis Maaske's impression of the Kappa Tucanae A star system, recently discovered by Steward postdoc Thomas Stuber. The discovery gives scientists their first natural "laboratory" for understanding hot exozodiacal dust. Learn more: bit.ly/4lUa24o

New crater just dropped. Wait. Large meteor just dropped. Then the crater. Another stunner from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter

DYK: The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) monitors solar radiation storms? The SWPC team will be integral during the upcoming Artemis II mission as they track these storms and their intensity. Watch to learn more & get the latest forecast at spaceweather.gov

Reboot thing aside, Station Eleven is one of my favorite things that ever happened on television, so won't cry about this amazing casting...

Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, was discovered on March 25, 1655, by Christiaan Huygens. More than 350 years later, it remains a key target for exploration. Launching in 2028, NASA’s Dragonfly mission will investigate the complex chemistry of this ocean world. https://dragonfly.jhuapl.edu/Why-Titan

The news has moved on, but ICE is still in Minneapolis. My neighbors are still patrolling streets, driving strangers to work, and providing aid. As a photojournalist at @propublica.org, I wanted to know: What do they look like in their daily lives? So I picked up my camera 👇

This is all so 21st century: There are *terabytes* of real and gorgeous space imagery available from space agencies around the world on every platform, but stuff made up by randos online is what dominates.

Post a non religious picture you think of as holy

“AI slop, the baby food of fascism” is a phrase that deserves wide circulation.

From NASA NASA’s Disasters Response Coordination System has been activated to support the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency's response to the storms in Hawaii. The team will post maps and data products on its open-access mapping portal as new information becomes available. go.nasa.gov/4sZxK1e

From NASA A day in the life of Mars. 🔴 Four images taken by four different NASA spacecraft in four different locations on the Red Planet, all on the same day: March 10, 2026. science.nasa.gov/mars

From NASA. Just makes me miss Cassini, but this is beauteous. Webb teamed up with Hubble, observing the ringed planet in complementary wavelengths of light to give us a richer, more layered understanding of its atmosphere. go.nasa.gov/4lMn2c4

This is genuinely a bombshell. All courthouse arrests should cease immediately. There should be a Congressional investigation & civil rights actions for every illegal abduction of immigrants trying to follow the rules and appear in court. (2/2)
