Spectacular views 🌖🌎

Earlier today, the Moon appeared to eclipse our home planet – Earth – from Orion's point of view.

Orion completed another major milestone today at 3:08 pm CT as the spacecraft reached the farthest distance from Earth during the I mission traveling over 268,000 miles. Want to see more images like these? Head on over to the link in our bio!

WE ARE GOING BACK TO THE MOON! The huge Artemis rocket is scheduled for its first uncrewed launch on August 29, 2022. Astronauts are scheduled to set foot on the Moon in 2024, something that hasn't been done since 1972.

TEACHERS - NASA has STEM materials related to ARTEMIS and its incredible journey back to the Moon and on to Mars. See the link below and join the adventure.

Educators: Bring into the classroom with the NASA STEM Learning Pathway series.

Ready-to-use content is available for multiple grade levels and new content will be out Aug. 23. Get excited for the Artemis I launch no earlier than Aug. 29: go.nasa.gov/3QB9zU7

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first humans to ever step foot on the Moon. For the next 3 years in the Apollo program, a total of 12 Americans had the honor to leave footprints on the Moon. Since then, no humans have returned. However, NASA plans to send humans back to the Moon through the Artemis program by the year 2024. The excitement begins again!

NASA’s James Webb telescope is sending incredible pictures!

Happy Summer Solstice!

If you're reading this in the Northern Hemisphere then welcome to the longest day of the year. The summer solstice marks the astronomical point where during Earth’s orbit the North Pole is at its maximum tilt towards the Sun, which is traveling along its northernmost path in the sky. As a result of the longer trip, it makes Earth’s hours of sunlight the longest day and shortest night of the year. One of the most famous places to watch the longest day dawn is the 5,000-year-old Stonehenge in England, where celebrators gather to watch the Sun come up through the ancient stones, which are oriented perfectly in the direction of the sunrise on the summer solstice.
