Every second, the Sun ejects 1.5 million tons of material into space at hundreds of miles per second, but Earth's magnetic field protects it from the solar wind.

The James Webb Space Telescope detected dimethyl sulfide in its atmosphere (on Earth that comes from marine microorganisms). K2-18b is potentially habitable super-Earth about 2.6 times the size of our planet. It is located 124 light-years from the Solar System.

Happy launchiversary, Voyager 1! 🄳 48 years ago – on September 5, 1977 – Voyager 1 launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, to study Jupiter and Saturn up close. Today, Voyager 1 is about 15 billion miles (25 billion km) from Earth – and still revealing secrets of the cosmos!

Mars is a dusty place – but every two years, the dust settles. The Perseverance rover's imaging team took advantage of this moment to capture one of the sharpest panoramas of its mission so far! Explore the full image: go.nasa.gov/4ooKDAD

Keep on keeping on, intrepid Voyagers! #interstellar - the furthest flung spacecrafts from Earth ever - #physicsrocks
Who ever thought a pair of spacecraft launched in the ’70s would end up with a Twitter account? We're signing off here, but our mission continues. (Fingers crossed for 50 years!) Thanks for being part of this remarkable story. Stay curious. Stay kind. Stay inspired. šŸ’« -V1&2

Our journeys out of the solar system were uncharted territory – and included three distinct phases: termination shock, heliosheath, and interstellar space. (TBH, the whole thing is pretty complicated, so maybe just go read about it here: science.nasa.gov/mission/voy…)

My first planetary encounter 🤩 These views of Jupiter, captured between January and August 1979, were among the 52,000 pictures that V2 and I took during our Jovian flybys. We also collected tons of new scientific measurements. Learn more: science.nasa.gov/gallery/voy… -V1

3 years ago, I watched Ingenuity take to the Martian skies for its 7th flight 🚁 The #MarsHelicopter continued to exceed expectations, completing an incredible 72 flights during its mission and laying the groundwork for future deep space aerial explorers. (Miss you, bud!)
