This view just hits different 🌍 @Astro_Christina and @astro_reid take a moment to look back at Earth as they continue deep into space toward the Moon.

Hi Rise! 🧵 The Artemis II zero gravity indicator was designed by 3rd grader Lucas Ye. Our blanket technician at Goddard brought it to life, fabricated in the same lab where blankets are created to keep spacecraft like @NASARoman the right temperature for science.

Orion's main parachute has deployed. The spacecraft has a system of 11 chutes that will slow it down from around 300 mph to 20 mph for splashdown. Get more updates on the Artemis II blog: https://t.co/7gicm7DWBt

What. A. Night. After a little more than 9 days in space and a journey around the Moon, the crew is safe, healthy, and back in gravity. 📷: NASA

Had lunch with a group of distinguished climate scientists to discuss applying AI to climate modeling to advance the science of stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) for cooling Earth. AI can help figure out if this is actually a good idea (which we do not currently know).

Turning new pages in Saturn’s story 📖 Hubble and @NASAWebb both shared new views of the ringed planet in complementary wavelengths of light, helping researchers understand how Saturn’s atmosphere works as a connected three-dimensional system: https://t.co/4TpZZkOOH0

Creativity is intelligence having fun.

Artemis II, we’re ready for ya! 🌎 NASA’s Earth science missions provide observations used to forecast wind, turbulence, and temperature. Those forecasts come from the Goddard Earth Observing System, or GEOS, which helps teams prepare for a safe splashdown.

You see beauty… this is science! 🌕😉 Colors highlight iron (orange) and titanium (blue), revealed through enhanced saturation and HDR stacking by Ilder Ibatullin.

In a new Science study, researchers describe how dynamic and reversible mitochondrial membrane constrictions, called “pearling,” spatially organize mtDNA molecules. The findings reveal a mechanistic link between mitochondrial membrane remodeling and mtDNA biology. 📄:

The Spaceships of Ezekiel (1974) is a book by German engineer Josef F. Blumrich about a spaceship that was supposedly observed by the prophet Ezekiel as described in Book of Ezekiel in the Tanakh. Blumrich wrote it while chief of NASA's systems layout branch of the program

The Artemis II crew is back on Earth. The science is just getting started 🚀 Here in Houston, teams of scientists have already started digging into the data that the Artemis II crew has collected. What they learn from this process will shape the next missions to the Moon. ⬇️

Dendritic cells are innate immune cells that regulate the quality, magnitude, and duration of antitumor responses. Conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1s) are crucial in this capacity but are paradoxically rare and functionally impaired in most solid tumors. This is a major
