There’s an eclipse coming! In fact, there are two—and we’ve got a filter to get you ready for both
Have you heard? There’s an eclipse coming! In fact, there are two—and we’ve got a filter to get you ready for both.
A “ring of fire” annular solar eclipse will cross the western United States on Oct. 14, 2023. A total solar eclipse will follow on April 8, 2024, turning the daytime sky dark in the eastern U.S.
Try out some virtual eclipse glasses in our new AR (augmented reality) filter. Find out when to use (real) eclipse glasses during each eclipse, learn more about how solar eclipses happen—and even control the path of the Moon’s shadow yourself! To find it, head to our account and tap on the sparkles icon. ✨
And remember, always use proper eye protection designed for solar viewing when looking at the Sun.

Wall-E Optimus Prime R2-D2
Wall-E, Optimus Prime, R2-D2... pop culture is full of helpful robots. When it comes to real-life space exploration, humans and robots make a great team, too.
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.

Moon rocks from the Apollo missions
Where are the Moon rocks from the Apollo missions kept? 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.

NASA’s Juno spacecraft flew past Jupiter’s volcanic moon Io, and then the gas giant soon after
On May 16, 2023, NASA’s Juno spacecraft flew past Jupiter’s volcanic moon Io, and then the gas giant soon after. Io is the most volcanically active body in the solar system. Slightly larger than Earth’s moon, Io is a world in constant torment. Not only is the biggest planet in the solar system forever pulling at it gravitationally, but so are its Galilean siblings – Europa and the biggest moon in the solar system, Ganymede. The result is that Io is continuously stretched and squeezed, actions linked to the creation of the lava seen erupting from its many volcanoes.
This rendering provides a “starship captain” point of view of the flyby, using images from JunoCam. For both targets, Io and Jupiter, raw JunoCam images were reprojected into views similar to the perspective of a consumer camera. The Io flyby and the Jupiter approach movie were rendered separately and composed into a synchronous split-screen video.
Launched on Aug. 5, 2011, Juno embarked on a 5-year journey to Jupiter. Its mission: to probe beneath the planet’s dense clouds and answer questions about the origin and evolution of Jupiter, our solar system, and giant planets in general across the cosmos. Juno arrived at the gas giant on July 4, 2016, after a 1.7-billion-mile journey, and settled into a 53-day polar orbit stretching from just above Jupiter’s cloud tops to the outer reaches of the Jovian magnetosphere. Now in its extended mission, NASA’s most distant planetary orbiter continues doing flybys of Jupiter and its moons.

Moon has water ice at the poles, so could future astronauts access and make use of it
We know the Moon has water ice at the poles, so could future astronauts access and make use of it? We're actively working on it.
Once it lands at the lunar South Pole, our Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment-1 (PRIME-1) will robotically sample and analyze ice from beneath the lunar surface, contributing to our search for water on the Moon.
Scarlett Johansson In September 2023
In September 2023, scientists with @NASASolarSystem's OSIRIS-REx mission will gather in the Utah desert for the arrival of the largest asteroid sample ever received on Earth.
“Asteroid City” actors, including Scarlett Johansson, Jason Schwartzman, @maya_hawke, @rupertfriend and @jfreewright, join NASA OSIRIS-REx sample expert Dr. Danny Glavin to discuss how studying the asteroid sample will give scientists insight into how the early solar system formed and how life began on Earth.
After a seven-year round trip journey that included mapping Bennu’s surface (a near-Earth asteroid that is no threat to our planet), identifying minerals and chemicals, and collecting a sample from the surface, OSIRIS-REx is on its way back to Earth with more than eight ounces of material.
