Ever heard of the Cold Atom Lab? It's one of the experiments aboard the International Space Station! Learn more about how Cold Atom Lab studies atoms in ultracold microgravity conditions: coldatomlab.jpl.nasa.gov

Zeta Ophiuchi came in like a (stellar) wrecking ball. This giant, young star – captured in infrared light by the Spitzer Space Telescope in 2012 – sliced through interstellar gas and dust, creating a bow shock that's seen as a glowing collection of wispy threads.

What’s Up for June? 🌌 This month, you can spot Saturn, Venus, Mercury, and Mars. Plus, find some dark skies to observe the Milky Way, and celebrate the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere on June 20. More skywatching tips: go.nasa.gov/whatsup

From sea level rise to river floods, SWOT is #TrackingWorldWater. In a first, the satellite recently measured flood waves traveling down U.S. rivers – from space. This data could help communities spot dangerous floods in the making. go.nasa.gov/45anlYd

Some folks hike for the views, but I hike for the history. I’ve been climbing Mount Sharp since 2014, reading layers of Martian rock. Each one holds clues from a time when Mars was more Earth-like. The Red Planet has stories to tell – and I’m enjoying every chapter.

Live from the JPL clean room: Today, teams are installing key components – including solar arrays – on a high-altitude balloon telescope mission called ASTHROS. 🔴 Watch the action on the live cam: youtube.com/live/mxoCCvjW4…

Can liquid water flow on an airless world like the asteroid Vesta? A NASA study found that it may be possible – if the water is salty enough. Lab experiments suggest briny flows could last long enough to carve features like gullies found here on Earth. go.nasa.gov/4jEua7P

Something big is peeking through Martian clouds. 🌋 The Odyssey orbiter captured a stunning view of Arsia Mons, a volcano that dwarfs the tallest ones here on Earth. This perspective helps scientists study how dust and ice clouds change over the seasons. go.nasa.gov/3HwbHNp

Happy World Ocean Day! 🌊 Oceans connect us all, and we’re connecting those dots – even from space. The SWOT satellite is giving scientists their most detailed view yet of Earth’s surface water, revealing the big and small features of our ocean.

Explore how our planet’s surfaces are changing 🌎 Free and open to the public, this new online tool lets you see where the land across North America is shifting from earthquakes, landslides, or the extraction of underground resources like groundwater. go.nasa.gov/4jHEhcb

“Everything about Jupiter is extreme." From the gas giant's polar cyclones to the still-simmering lava beneath its moon Io's crust, the Juno spacecraft has revealed new insights into this complex and active system. go.nasa.gov/43uIgE5

This Earth-observing mission is another step closer to launch! 🚀 NISAR, a collaboration between NASA and ISRO, safely made its way to Satish Dhawan Space Centre in India, where it's slated for liftoff in July. go.nasa.gov/45hp65R

#OTD in 2012, our NuSTAR observatory launched to unlock the mysteries of the high-energy X-ray universe! To celebrate, we’re releasing a new set of stained-glass-style posters highlighting NuSTAR and some of the sources it observes. Download them here: nustar.caltech.edu/page/nustar-an…

How much wastewater is contaminating coastal waters? 🦠 Using an instrument aboard the International Space Station, scientists are working to monitor pollutants and harmful bacteria that can impact human health and harm marine ecosystems, fisheries, and wildlife. go.nasa.gov/4kyFOlS

NBD. Just fresh pictures from the surface of another planet. Almost every day.

Earth's surface is always moving – and NISAR will soon track even the tiniest shifts. Set to launch soon, the satellite will use advanced radar tech to track changes in Earth’s surface, helping us better understand everything from ice loss to natural hazards. Learn more ⬇️

Inspired by the toe pads of geckos, researchers at NASA JPL studied how electrostatic forces could help robots hang tight in weightless environments. Their NASA Technology is now being used in cutting-edge smartphone accessories—read the gripping tale: go.nasa.gov/4lhkWQh

It's the summer solstice! This precise moment in Earth's orbit has been an astronomical signpost observed by humans for millennia – so however you're spending your day, take a moment to celebrate this shared celestial connection. ☀️

Psyche's thrusters are back online! ✅ After the team detected a propulsion system pressure drop in April, engineers switched to a backup propellant line. Psyche remains on track for a Mars gravity assist in May 2026 on its way to the asteroid Psyche: go.nasa.gov/3HRDO9W

The most distant shore: Voyager 2 glimpsed Neptune and Triton after it passed by on its way into the unexplored reaches beyond. It still sends home regular science dispatches. science.nasa.gov/mission/voyage… Do you have a favorite Voyager image?
