101955 Bennu is one of Earth's closest planetary neighbors an asteroid roughly the height of skyscraper, and since late 2018, the place that NASA's 0SIRIS-REx mission has called home. When 0SIRIS-REx arrived on Dec. 3, 2018, it began wrapping Bennu in a complex web of observations. OSIRIS-REx departs Bennu on May 10, 2021, on a return voyage to Earth, bringing with it over 60 grams of sample collected from the asteroid. This narrated video presents the mission's complete trajectory during its time at Bennu. #space #astronauts #astronomy #NASA #Space Exploration #Astronomy #Space Science #Astrophysics #Space Missions #Outer Space #Rocket Launch #Space Technology #Planetary Science #International Space Station #Mars Exploration #Moon Landing #Hubble Space Telescope #Earth Observation #Spacewalks #Solar System #Exoplanets #Black Holes #Space Travel #NASA Documentary #Astronauts #Space News #Space Discoveries #Space History #Spacewalk Footage #Rocket Science #Space Shuttle #Lunar Missions

approximately 1200 - 1808 UTC (7:00 am - 1:38pm ET) November 11, 2019, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory watched as Mercury move across the Sun. The Solar Dynamics Observatory views the Sun in a variety of wavelengths of light in the extreme ultraviolet.

New 4K resolution, thanks to data provided by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft. As the visualization moves around the near side, far side, north and south poles, we highlight interesting features, sites, and information gathered on the lunar terrain.

Parkinson’s disease affects more than 5 million people on Earth. Research on the International Space Station could provide insight into this chronic neurodegenerative disease and help scientists find ways to treat and prevent it. In this video, NASA astronaut Serena Auñon-Chancellor narrates as European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Alexander Gerst uses a microscope to examine and photograph the LRRK2 crystals. #space #astronauts #astronomy #NASA #Space Exploration #Astronomy #Space Science #Astrophysics #Space Missions #Outer Space #Rocket Launch #Space Technology #Planetary Science #International Space Station #Mars Exploration #Moon Landing #Hubble Space Telescope #Earth Observation #Spacewalks #Solar System #Exoplanets #Black Holes #Space Travel #NASA Documentary #Astronauts #Space News #Space Discoveries #Space History #Spacewalk Footage #Rocket Science #Space Shuttle #Lunar Missions

In this artist’s rendition, we explore a metallic world named Psyche, an asteroid that offers a unique window into the building blocks of planet formation. The NASA Psyche mission launches in 2023 and will arrive at the asteroid Psyche, which orbits the Sun between Mars and Jupiter, in 2026. The spacecraft, also named Psyche, will spend 21 months orbiting the asteroid, mapping it and studying its properties. The mission is led by Principal Investigator Lindy Elkins-Tanton of Arizona State University. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is responsible for the mission’s overall management, system engineering, integration and test, and mission operations. Maxar Technologies is providing a high-power solar electric propulsion spacecraft chassis. #space #astronauts #astronomy #NASA #Space Exploration #Astronomy #Space Science #Astrophysics #Space Missions #Outer Space #Rocket Launch #Space Technology #Planetary Science #International Space Station #Mars Exploration #Moon Landing #Hubble Space Telescope #Earth Observation #Spacewalks #Solar System #Exoplanets #Black Holes #Space Travel #NASA Documentary #Astronauts #Space News #Space Discoveries #Space History #Spacewalk Footage #Rocket Science #Space Shuttle #Lunar Missions

Get closer to the in-space experience and see how the international partnership-powered human spaceflight is improving lives on Earth, while enabling humanity to explore the universe. #space #astronauts #astronomy #NASA #Space Exploration #Astronomy #Space Science #Astrophysics #Space Missions #Outer Space #Rocket Launch #Space Technology #Planetary Science #International Space Station #Mars Exploration #Moon Landing #Hubble Space Telescope #Earth Observation #Spacewalks #Solar System #Exoplanets #Black Holes #Space Travel #NASA Documentary #Astronauts #Space News #Space Discoveries #Space History #Spacewalk Footage #Rocket Science #Space Shuttle #Lunar Missions

NASA’s Lucy mission tests the deployment of its solar arrays in the thermal vacuum chamber at Lockheed Martin Space in Littleton, Colorado. Each of the two circular arrays is nearly 24 feet (7.3 m) wide. These arrays will power Lucy on its 12-year odyssey through the Jupiter Trojan asteroids, breaking records for a solar powered mission by traveling 530 million miles (853 million km) from the Sun. These large arrays will capture the sunlight needed to power the spacecraft as it travels through deep space. #space #astronauts #astronomy #NASA #Space Exploration #Astronomy #Space Science #Astrophysics #Space Missions #Outer Space #Rocket Launch #Space Technology #Planetary Science #International Space Station #Mars Exploration #Moon Landing #Hubble Space Telescope #Earth Observation #Spacewalks #Solar System #Exoplanets #Black Holes #Space Travel #NASA Documentary #Astronauts #Space News #Space Discoveries #Space History #Spacewalk Footage #Rocket Science #Space Shuttle #Lunar Missions

Water in space behaves… differently. Surface tension and capillary flow can be harnessed to move fluids in more efficient ways. What looks like fun could actually help us improve systems for moving fluids in microgravity, in things like fuel tanks for space travel. #space #astronauts #astronomy #NASA #Space Exploration #Astronomy #Space Science #Astrophysics #Space Missions #Outer Space #Rocket Launch #Space Technology #Planetary Science #International Space Station #Mars Exploration #Moon Landing #Hubble Space Telescope #Earth Observation #Spacewalks #Solar System #Exoplanets #Black Holes #Space Travel #NASA Documentary #Astronauts #Space News #Space Discoveries #Space History #Spacewalk Footage #Rocket Science #Space Shuttle #Lunar Missions

This video uses data gathered from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft to recreate some of the stunning views of the Moon that the Apollo 13 astronauts saw on their perilous journey around the farside in 1970. These visualizations, in 4K resolution, depict many different views of the lunar surface, starting with earthset and sunrise and concluding with the time Apollo 13 reestablished radio contact with Mission Control. Also depicted is the path of the free return trajectory around the Moon, and a continuous view of the Moon throughout that path. All views have been sped up for timing purposes — they are not shown in "real-time."

While Apollo placed the first steps on the Moon, Artemis opens the door for humanity to sustainably work and live on another world for the first time. Using the lunar surface as a proving ground for living on Mars, this next chapter in exploration will forever establish our presence in the stars. ✨ We are returning to the Moon – to stay – and this is how we are going! Actress Kelly Marie Tran of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” lent her voice to this project.
