Cameras help us capture the universe. 📷
For #NationalCameraDay, enjoy these images captured by our space telescopes – Spitzer, WISE, NuSTAR, and WFPC2, a retired instrument on @NASAHubble. These images reveal galaxies, nebulae, supernova remnants, and other objects of interest.
driving up to LA from the border, I realized my odometer was gonna hit 80,085 miles, thereby reading “BOOBS.” by stunning coincidence, it happened *right* alongside the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant, which looks like a pair of giant tits. we felt the presence of god in my Jetta

How might we explore subsurface oceans on distant worlds? One answer – being developed at JPL – is dozens of tiny swimming robots!
The early-stage concept is illustrated here. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3nmtTM2
Power on @NASAInSight is waning, but the Mars lander isn't done hunting marsquakes just yet! Join us today, June 28, at noon PT (3 p.m. ET/1900 UTC) to chat with experts about what’s next for the mission and how its data will be studied for years to come. invidious.fdn.fr/TlIeFyEF2ts
Scientists used data from @MarsCuriosity to quantify the total organic carbon (a key component of life) in Martian rocks for the first time. But organic carbon on Mars doesn't prove the existence of life. More on what it does tell us: go.nasa.gov/3QRYrTj
Last month I did the unthinkable and finally threw out that box of unloved cables that I've dragged with me through adulthood.
