We’re sending a spacecraft to fly closer to the Sun’s surface than any spacecraft before it. Facing brutal heat & radiation, Parker #SolarProbe will help answer Qs about solar physics. Join us live tomorrow at 1pm ET to hear from experts: https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-invites-media-to-preview-briefing-on-spacecraft-that-will-touch-sun … Have Qs? #askNASApic.twitter.com/KZc4xxV5bA

We’re inviting social media users to apply to see a rocket launch! The launch will kickoff a mission to measure the height of our home planet, with a focus on tracking changes to the ice sheets, glaciers and sea ice of Earth’s polar regions.

Using advanced algorithms, a team of scientists found never-before-detected, fine-grained structures in the Sun’s million-degree atmosphere. This could help answer Qs related to the stream of charged particles that flow outward from the Sun, aka solar wind https://go.nasa.gov/2L5NijL pic.twitter.com/5lLzsk5Yzc

Chasing storms on Mars? Yes, that’s a thing! Using our orbiters, scientists can study storms that put enough dust in the air to completely cover the Red Planet. Here’s what we might learn: https://go.nasa.gov/2JBVMJR pic.twitter.com/ma2Sm3fzio

Satellites are crucial to our everyday lives but are expensive to build and launch, and their lifespan is limited by the fuel on board. To change this, we're testing satellite servicing tech to make satellites more sustainable, affordable and resilient: https://go.nasa.gov/2JBjl5z pic.twitter.com/mD7OQ7t4gD

Using 13 years of @CassiniSaturn mission data, we now have six infrared images of Saturn's moon Titan that are some of the clearest, most seamless-looking global views showing the icy moon's complex surface, sporting myriad geologic features. Take a look: https://go.nasa.gov/2LwOuZJ pic.twitter.com/9Vjx8xl5fC

For the 1st time, scientists using @Chandraxray observations may have witnessed the destruction of an infant planet by a young star ~450 light years from Earth. A discovery that may give astronomers new insight into the early stages of planet development: https://go.nasa.gov/2LaMsCk pic.twitter.com/I0t6FxWeis

We're partnering with France's @ONERA_en to collaborate on research predicting where sonic booms will be heard as supersonic aircraft fly overhead. This could help alleviate the effects of the loud noise made by supersonic passenger flights over land: https://go.nasa.gov/2JzpTRS pic.twitter.com/jDxhJGm6km

Congratulations @BlueOrigin! Today’s successful launch of the New Shepard rocket also included five @NASATechnology-supported payloads onboard. For each one of them, this flight was one in a series of suborbital demonstrations of the technology: https://go.nasa.gov/2Lth0eJ pic.twitter.com/DfmT2hl79e

Discovered: new moons! Yesterday, @CarnegieScience scientists announced they had found 12 new moons orbiting Jupiter, bringing the total to 79! The team 1st spotted the moons while they were looking for very distant solar system objects. More on Jupiter: https://go.nasa.gov/2LuMpxg pic.twitter.com/2mvOGqLV4s

This newly released @NASASolutions toolkit will help make finding @NASAEarth science data easier. Check out a few examples of how other companies have taken this data and turned it into products, known as a @NASASpinoff: https://nasa.tumblr.com/post/176030762329/5-examples-of-how-our-satellite-data-is-helping …pic.twitter.com/dD6Xx0CoUY

We’re preparing to send humans on a journey to deep space and we’re one step closer with the most recent parachute test. Parachutes on @NASA_Orion – the spacecraft that will carry future astronauts beyond Earth’s orbit – successfully deployed on July 12: https://go.nasa.gov/2L7wXuP pic.twitter.com/aomt2hL8Ir

How can we understand and predict future atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases? Thanks to a legacy of work published in his final scientific paper, one scientist gives us new insights into the role that land & the ocean makes in atmospheric levels: https://go.nasa.gov/2L4dtHw pic.twitter.com/iDaWe9Yigt

Striking plumes of blue and green seawater rich with blooms of phytoplankton were captured churning off the Alaskan coast in the Chukchi Sea by our @NASAEarth-observing satellite on June 18. Take a look: https://go.nasa.gov/2Jz2wrD pic.twitter.com/2RhXDrmr1X

Beaches are constantly changing & teams using our 30-yr record of @NASAEarth images have found that sandy shorelines have increased slightly on a global scale over the past 3 decades, but decreased in protected marine areas, where many beaches are eroding: https://nasa.tumblr.com/post/176022818639/we-see-seashores-shifting-with-satellites …pic.twitter.com/PMJVizF9JB

A CubeSat mission recently deployed from @Space_Station is headed to investigate the area surrounding our Milky Way. Discover how this tiny sleuth may help scientists solve an astronomical mystery: https://go.nasa.gov/2Ltmrdt pic.twitter.com/796JLXcnay
