NASA Will Compete JPL’s Management Contract nasawatch.com/ask-the-admi... @NASA @NASAJPL

The JPL one is done!

I have recently used that API myself to build an alternate search interface for NASA images which fetches both images and the metadata from the API. Using the API should also allow you to add a download button to the full resolution images. sschmaus.github.io/NASAimages/?...

Experts found that the White House budget request for the upcoming fiscal year could defund 54 NASA science missions, including a spacecraft currently studying Jupiter and two planned Venus missions: www.scientificamerican.com/article/whit...

What an inspirational crew to visit the moon in over 50+ years! I had the privilege to see Reid, Victor, Christina, Jeremy and his backup Jenni, in person last year and it's amazing to see their aspirations come true. We wish them a safe homecoming, their bravery and dedication inspire us all!

The light leak in this image of the crescent Earth above the Moon just made it more stylistic. I've processed it to bring out the artifacts. images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

Why does this backlit image of a celestial body hit so hard? images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

The picture of Reid Wiseman looking out the window of the Orion capsule "Integrity" reminds me of the photo of Walter Cunningham looking out of the Command Module window on Apollo 7.

Some stars/planets identified

This photo of the Moon fully eclipsing the Sun is a nice example of a coronagraph. Once the Moon blocks out the light from the Sun, you can then see the stars around you. I've processed this image as well to bring out the detail and ran it through a denoise app. images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

This photo from Artemis II of the Earth setting behind the moon is simply stunning! I've processed it a slight bit to bring out more detail. images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

As the crew of Artemis II goes behind the moon and loses radio contact for 40 mins, you can also relive the audio track of Apollo 13 as they go behind the moon for comparison. apolloinrealtime.org/13/

images.nasa.gov/details/art0... Image of the moon taken today by the astronauts in the Orion space capsule, named "Integrity". The "Orientale Basin" is clearly visible in this image. I've upscaled the image and sharpened it a little.

Via #NASA's Scientific Visual Studio: Here's a video of the simulated flyby expected by the Orion Spacecraft "Integrity." This is the video that has been played at a few of the press events. svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5536/

COUNTDOWN: 7 days until the launch window opens for SLS Artemis II - Here is your (unofficial) step-by-step infographic guide to the mission. Godspeed astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, Jeremy Hansen and Team NASA.

MECO confirmed. Oh my. So good. And… holy stage separation! #ArtemisII

Follow along on their journey to the moon. Only 238K miles to go. www.nasa.gov/missions/art...

There was this moment on Reid Wiseman's account from yesterday. #ArtemisII twitter.com/astro_reid/s...

Less than 2 days before the launch of Artemis II. This NASA poster is giving me serious Project Hail Mary vibes. Be sure to tune in to the broadcast on launch day. plus.nasa.gov/scheduled-vi...

My resignation letter

☀️🌑🛰️ 2026: The year we arrive at Mercury! After almost 8 years since its launch in 2018, BepiColombo is entering its most critical phase yet. It is about to end its interplanetary phase and initiate its Mercury approach.

Happy 5th Landiversary of the Perseverance Rover! Shoutout to all of the EECAM engineers, past and present.

HAPPY 5-(🌎)YR LANDIVERSARY to our Perseverance Rover 🍰 As a Jezero mapper, seeing the *image* from SkyCrane of M2020 being lowered to the crater surface, will forever be a highlight of my career. CONGRATS to the entire M2020 Team (extra special shoutout to the EDL engineers!) 🧪🔭 #PlanetarySci

Five years and counting!

[On the bench today ⚒️ #BehindTheScenes] Somewhere between here and Jupiter, #EuropaClipper is carrying an engraved plate with the waveforms of "water" in 103 languages. And here I am in the studio, putting those same waveforms onto a sterling silver pendant 😎 🔭🐡🧪🎨

What does it feel like to drive along the rim of Jerezo crater on Mars? This animation using the Navcam images on the Perseverance rover will show you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO2G...

The new NASA administrator Jared Isaacman visited the lab this past weekend to meet the folks. He spoke to everyone and took questions right after. He’s very well spoken and said all the right things.

Keep on roving.

End of a Martian day on Kodiak Hill - Perseverance, sol 416 - From Thomas Appéré (thomasappere.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/2ng3fYN

This photo from the Perseverance rover captured in early March, may be my favorite Mars image from this year. It shows Mars' smaller moon Deimos over the hills of the Nili Planum region in the dark skies before dawn. 🔭 Full res: flic.kr/p/2rwUwV7 Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Simeon Schmauß

Last night, NASA's Perseverance rover looked up at the night sky once more, to capture interstellar #comet 3I/Atlas flying by the red planet. The distance was "only" 0.2 AU or 30 Mio km, far closer than the comet ever got to Earth. 🔭 #3IAtlas Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/Simeon Schmauß

To any (mutual) space journos, I'm happy to answer a few questions about the 3I/Atlas images from Perseverance in the hope we can debunk some of the misinformation that is going around currently.

A recent vista from Mars obtained by the Perseverance Rover on its 1635th Martian day, or 'Sol', Clouds far above the eternal dust pall are unusually well shown in this afternoon view. This is a mosaic of two wide angle color Navcam images.

A colleague of ours made a really cool Mars Weather Dashboard. You should all go and check it out! mars-weather-dashboard-one.vercel.app

The sun was just 10 degrees above the horizon when NASA's Perseverance rover captured this morning view of Nili Planum yesterday. The rim of Jezero crater is casting a long shadow over the rover and foreground landscape. 🔭 Full res: flic.kr/p/2rt54pJ Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Simeon Schmauß

Thanks to the brilliant experts @nasajpl.bsky.social in Pasadena for making this amazing discovery of potential life on Mars possible! But we can't know for sure unless we bring these rocks to Earth for study. I'll keep fighting to fully fund the Mars Sample Return mission to do just that.
