1 month down, 11 to go – and we’ve got a lot to look forward to in the rest of 2025 – including milestones for SPHEREx, Lunar Trailblazer, Europa Clipper, NISAR, Sentinel-6B, CADRE, and SEAQUE! Which of these get you most geeked? https://t.co/2dapeThGV1 https://t.co/sQBMAvs7b6

NASA analysis of near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 indicates it has >1% chance of impacting Earth on Dec. 22, 2032, which also means there's ~99% chance this asteroid will not impact. Such initial analysis will change over time as more observations are gathered https://t.co/LMFH12K9N8 https://t.co/WyXh0uUqeq

The satellite will sends radar waves to Earth that bounce back to it, capturing land shifts, monitoring the motion of glaciers and ice sheets, and tracking ecosystem changes. https://t.co/2wDoqAUUlP https://t.co/dGTAA4SQap

New pano just dropped 😍 [Spoiler: Stay to the end to see the 18-image composite of Jezero Crater taken by @NASAPersevere.] After 3.5 months and 1,640 feet (500 m) of vertical climb, the rover is leaving the crater it's been exploring since landing on the Red Planet in 2021. https://t.co/2HiU4Fq436

44 years ago, @NASAVoyager 1 captured this image of Saturn and two of its moons, Tethys and Dione. The shadows of the planet's rings and Tethys are cast onto the cloud tops. Fun fact: Saturn has the most moons of any planet in our solar system – 146! https://t.co/iN0rWUnMOo https://t.co/LZDpLImTmX
