This is a great extension for our fourth graders, and an incredible real-world connection. It's evidence of our rapidly changing understand of the universe around us through exploration made possible by innovation!
The @EuropaClipper Composition Working Group has compiled this superb overview, led by @tbeckaa, on how the mission's instruments can shed light Europa's composition and determine whether its ocean may have the conditions for life. Download it free here! https://t.co/joYkcKGxtg

This is a great opportunity for our fourth and fifth graders to engage in experiential learning!
Lunar observations arenβt just for astronauts. Theyβre for everyone. On Saturday, Sept. 14, NASA is hosting International #ObserveTheMoon Night. You can join virtual or in-person events, or simply observe the Moon from your own backyard. https://t.co/vQuUNgQesd

Our 4th grade astronomers created models of the solar system in @canva ! Creating their own model is so much more engaging and effective than a worksheet!

Happy #StarTrekDay! In 2016, our Spitzer Space Telescope made a bold discovery in our Milky Way galaxy. These nebulae could be said to resemble two U.S.S. Enterprise ships (1701 and 1701-D). But you tell us. Learn more about this region in our galaxy: https://t.co/TLsyvTJ9HO

What a special and memorable experience! πππ»
From watching a rocket launch this morning at Cape Canaveral to building a support for a rocket toy at home, our family was amazed! Thank you for inspiring the next generation @SpaceX @INTELSAT @ExploreSpaceKSC @ColesRoadrunner @PWCSScience

When the Moon hits your eye that's.... sunlight?! Turns out, moonlight is actually sunlight reflected by the Moon! Did you observe sunlight after dark by enjoying last nightβs full Moon? π

Congratulations, @Astro_Alneyadi! We will be watching in awe and with appreciation!
Being chosen as the first Arab astronaut to undertake a spacewalk alongside NASA astronaut Stephen Bowen is a great honour and responsibility. I am eagerly awaiting this historic moment, for which I have trained extensively at the Johnson Space Center. I am looking forward to

Congratulations, Dr. Lystrup! I couldnβt help but notice what book you used for your swearing-inβ¦ AMAZING. Carl Sagan would be proud!
Exciting news from @NASA today as we welcome Dr. Makenzie Lystrup as the new director of @NASAGoddard! A natural leader with a passion for discovery, Makenzie is poised to lead our world-renowned team of scientists, engineers, and technologists. https://t.co/kafd9IPKrX

What a neat use of @Ozobot and a great opportunity to talk about the benefits and limitations of a model! Thanks for sharing, @allisonmkurtz!
This week third grade students have been using @Ozobot to explore our solar system. Students have worked together to show the order of the planets in our solar system and how they orbit around the sun. #Clear4Takeoff #ozobot #STEM #solarsystem

Uranus has never looked better. Really. Only Voyager 2 and Keck (with adaptive optics) have imaged the planet's faintest rings before, and never as clearly as Webbβs first glimpse at this ice giant, which also highlights bright atmospheric features. https://t.co/aE3rJIqVKy

Attn: 4th and 5th grade teachers β great resources for moon phases! Just remember that students are only responsible for identifying full moon, new moon, as well as first and third quarters (as viewed from Earth AND from Space). ππππ

#DYK #Apollo astronauts discovered 3 new minerals on the Moon. My fave is named for the crew of #Apollo11: Armalcolite! @NASA_astronauts are undergoing geology & field training for #Artemis missions, just like the Apollo crews did. This is Armalcolite. It sparkles!!! π€©
