But it would be far too hot and may look something like this simulation of the Sun’s surface that was run on our Pleiades supercomputer.

On a roll!

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

On to the Moon soon…

Now and then…

We get a new image from NASA Webb Telescope that reminds us of a throwback from Hubble! Which do you prefer? #TBT

Live from Utah: Mission experts gather at @DeptOfDefense’s Utah Test and Training Range to discuss preparations and readiness for the #OSIRISREx return. Landing Sept. 24, it carries the first U.S. asteroid sample collected in space. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Hey Moon, you're looking super blue.

Good morning 🚁 🌅

A Cobra on the Ames flight line at sunrise.

Welcome #Crew7 , to the International International Space Station. Commander Jasmin Moghbeli and her crewmates are beginning a mission of about six months living and working on our orbiting lab.

Trailblazers 🚀

Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride made up NASA's first female astronaut class.

Happy #WomensEqualityDay !

After second stage separation, SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft with the four members of #Crew7 aboard is in orbit and set to arrive at the International Space Station on Sun., Aug. 27. Commander Jasmin Moghbeli thanked all those who prepared the crew and spacecraft for flight:

This week at NASA: our NASA Webb Telescope telescope captures a cosmic ring, meet the team behind #MissionToPsyche , and a unique look at a star destroyer.

Watch LIVE as #Crew7 launches to the International Space Station on the SpaceX Dragon Endurance!

Liftoff from NASA's Kennedy Space Center is set for 3:27am ET (0727 UTC). #AskNASA your questions, and they may be answered on air. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Witness Saturn’s main character moment 🪐

Saturn is directly opposite the Sun on Aug. 26-27, which will make it look big and bright. Spot the yellowish “star” rising in the southeast at sunset, and traveling across the sky until sunrise: go.nasa.gov/45sjV0e
