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

Take a deep breath and gaze into the Orion Nebula ? Data from @NASAHubble and NASA’s retired Spitzer Space Telescope create this swirling composite image that shows baby stars within the cosmic cloud. https://t.co/UMZMktYNPe

What might an infrared telescope capture if it could look at your jack-o-lantern? 🎃 #NEOSurveyor, which will see in infrared wavelengths to identify potentially hazardous near-Earth objects (NEOs), is currently being built at JPL. Watch live: https://t.co/FedGlg1NVp https://t.co/9NMMm8NpqX

Meet Lunar Trailblazer, a mission to inventory the water on the Moon. Orbiting just 60 miles (100 km) above the lunar surface, the small satellite will map the abundance, location, and form of the Moon's water, a critical resource for future explorers. https://t.co/rCe9anuDm8 https://t.co/qzDkVsU1nF

The journey continues for @NASAPersevere! Since landing on Mars in 2021, our robotic explorer has driven 18+ miles (~30 km) and has collected 24 samples of rock and regolith as well as one air sample. More on the rover's progress and what lies ahead: https://t.co/h8c57EfACy https://t.co/I6m4ko7Hpv

Earth has a temporary, tiny companion. While not quite a mini moon, since it will never be captured by Earth's gravity, Asteroid 2024 PT5 does have a similar orbit as our planet and will linger in our vicinity for a few months. https://t.co/5fB0Mvf6nq https://t.co/k6HW3GuZZn

Late tonight, the Moon and Jupiter rise together. Next month, @EuropaClipper will launch on its journey to Jupiter's ocean moon Europa, which is about the same size as our Moon! More skywatching tips: https://t.co/uJEdCvfg1J https://t.co/rQc84yaSWu
