101955 Bennu is one of Earth’s closest planetary neighbors – an asteroid roughly the height of a skyscraper, and since late 2018, the place that NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission has called home. When OSIRIS-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.

As we celebrate the start of #HHM23, Frank Rubio has a special message from space for retired NASA astronaut José Hernández, whose journey and story is chronicled in the new film "A Million Miles Away"

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.

Our VIPER rover prototype is practicing rolling out of its lunar lander at NASA's Johnson Space Center. The rover is set to arrive near the Moon's South Pole in late 2024, near the landing site of future NASA Artemis astronauts: nasa.gov/viper

Using our Swift observatory, scientists have discovered a black hole in a distant galaxy repeatedly nibbling on a Sun-like star, consuming a rate of about three Earth-masses of star material on each pass. Dig in: https://go.nasa.gov/45GAEwR

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory — SDO — has now been watching the Sun non-stop for over a full decade. From its orbit in space around the Earth, SDO has gathered 425 million high-resolution images of the Sun, amassing 20 million gigabytes of data over the past 10 years. This information has enabled countless new discoveries about the workings of our closest star and how it influences the solar system. With a triad of instruments, SDO captures an image of the Sun every 0.75 seconds. The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument alone captures images every 12 seconds at 10 different wavelengths of light. This 10-year time lapse showcases photos taken at a wavelength of 17.1 nanometers, which is an extreme ultraviolet wavelength that shows the Sun’s outermost atmospheric layer — the corona. Compiling one photo every hour, the movie condenses a decade of the Sun into 61 minutes. The video shows the rise and fall in activity that occurs as part of the Sun’s 11-year solar cycle and notable events, like transiting planets and eruptions. The custom music, titled “Solar Observer,” was composed by musician Lars Leonhard (https://www.lars-leonhard.de). While SDO has kept an unblinking eye pointed towards the Sun, there have been a few moments it missed. The dark frames in the video are caused by Earth or the Moon eclipsing SDO as they pass between the spacecraft and the Sun. A longer blackout in 2016 was caused by a temporary issue with the AIA instrument that was successfully resolved after a week. The images where the Sun is off-center were observed when SDO was pcalibrating its instruments. SDO and other NASA missions will continue to watch our Sun in the years to come, providing further insights about our place in space and information to keep our astronauts and assets safe.

When they’re not being studied by institutions or enjoyed by museumgoers, we have specialized the Lunar Sample Curation Laboratory at NASA’s Johnson Space Center to store and keep these otherworldly samples safe. Studying these samples helps us learn more about the origin of not only our Moon, but our planet. ⁣

On Nov. 16, 2022, the Orion spacecraft launched aboard the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket from Space Center and embarked on the #Artemis I mission to the Moon and back. Orion orbited the Moon, getting as close as 79 miles (127 km) to the lunar surface, and successfully splashed back down to Earth 25.5 days later on Dec. 11. Four RS-25 engines and two five-segment solid rocket boosters provided more than 8.8 million pounds (4 million kg) of thrust for SLS during liftoff and flight. Thanks in part to development of a new RS-25 engine controller that checks engine health 50 times per second, engineers were able to collect more than 100 measurements on pressures, temperatures, flows, speeds, and vibrations on the four RS-25 engines that helped power Artemis I. The preliminary post-flight data indicates that all SLS systems performed exceptionally and that the designs are ready to support a crewed flight on Artemis II. The Artemis II mission will bring us closer to establishing a sustained human presence on the lunar surface and landing the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon. This video was captured from the Launch Pad 39B perimeter and was used by engineers to monitor and track the rocket during flight.

Robots help us do tasks in space that are too dangerous or challenging for humans. We’re working on a new generation of robotic spacecraft that can work together without being controlled by astronauts or teams on Earth. A troop of shoebox-sized rovers will soon scout the Moon on their own. Targeted to launch in 2024, CADRE—short for NASA's Cooperative Autonomous Distributed Robotic Exploration project—will work together to explore the lunar surface, collect data, and map different areas of the Moon in 3D. The technology may one day be used on Mars or other deep space destinations.

Flow through a week of solar activity, from Nov. 1 to Nov. 8, 2022, as captured by our Solar Dynamics Observatory or SDO. From its orbit in space around Earth, SDO has steadily imaged the Sun in 4k resolution for nearly 13 years. ⁣ Video description: Mellow music plays as compiled images taken every 108 seconds condenses 7 days of solar observations, between Nov. 1 and Nov. 8 into 23 seconds. The video shows bright active regions passing across the face of the Sun as it rotates.⁣ #NASA #Sun #Solarsystem #SolarPower #SunSalutations #SDO #Space #Star

On November 28, flight day 13 of the @NASAArtemis mission, our Orion spacecraft captured the Earth rising – or transiting behind the Moon as it reached its farthest distance from home – 268,563 miles (432,210 km) – the farthest any spacecraft designed to carry humans has traveled. The #Artemis I flight test happened almost exactly 50 years after the iconic Apollo 17 “Blue Marble” photo of Earth was taken. Flight day 13 marked the midway point for the mission, where the Orion continued in distant retrograde orbit – a high altitude path that travels in the opposite direction that the Moon travels around Earth – allowing scientists to study the course of our future lunar orbiting space station – Gateway.
