Making the seemingly impossible, possible. ✨
- Sparkly, swirly, and surprising 🌌 @chandraxray data shows that this galaxy, Messier 83, is unusual. Over 20 of its supernova remnants – remains from star explosions – vary drastically in X-ray brightness. Typically, the remnants' brightness would fade slowly over time.

What a great moment! Most important Lucas also met mission Rise. We got the whole family of Rise’s together, from prototype to mass produced. #moonjoyThe young designer of Rise meets a @NASAArtemis II astronaut! Eight-year-old Lucas Ye had the brightest smile as Artemis II pilot @AstroVicGlover showed him Rise and congratulated him at the Ames summer picnic. A true experience of Moon joy.

- NASA repostedThe quest to discover the secrets of the universe is a shared endeavor, and not exclusive to the world’s space agencies. At @NASA we are grateful to partner with and support @ericschmidt and the @relativityspace team, and hope this mission can be a model for future privately💫 More missions. More science. More discovery. Today, we're launching the Interplanetary Sciences Program to advance deep space science missions through foundational technologies and payloads. Proud to partner with @NASA , industry, and academic institutions on a science
- LIVE: Experts from NASA, Katalyst Space, and Northrop Grumman preview the mission to boost the orbit of our Swift Observatory. Raising Swift's altitude will extend its mission lifespan. youtube.com/live/ymp7dIUvp…
- Super! 💫 Data from @chandraxray has uncovered possible remains of a supernova in the middle of our Milky Way galaxy. If confirmed, this supernova piece would be one of the closest to our galaxy’s central black hole that we have ever found. go.nasa.gov/4aT7pvb
