It was a dark and rainy morning... 50 years ago today, #Apollo12 launched on a mission to land on the Moon & set up instruments to return science data. Cameras capturing the launch show raindrops — and lightning striking the pad after liftoff! More: https://go.nasa.gov/32L0crh pic.twitter.com/0CrFaCEkx1

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0... Lift-off 50 years ago, #Apollo12 was struck by lightning twice, seconds after launch. A flight controller's quick action restored systems to normal, and the mission was successfully guided to land on the Moon's Ocean of Storms.

It's harvest time on @Space_Station! Astronauts have been cultivating fresh mustard greens in the station's Veggie facility. Today, they cut some of the leaves — half go in freezers for later analysis on Earth, and half are for the crew to taste. More: https://go.nasa.gov/2XgyrFR pic.twitter.com/kt4Ca3ZSMO

It's used in a website that helps public health officials monitor and respond to potential outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases. Details: https://go.nasa.gov/2QhGD7A pic.twitter.com/Ibf1TDrikR

.@NASA_Technology in your life: We developed new pressure vessels because we needed stronger, lighter tanks to carry liquids & gas to space. Today, this tech is used widely, including in firefighting equipment, in scuba gear, and even in paintball. More: https://go.nasa.gov/2Odn7GF pic.twitter.com/Uc0Ysp8rtp
