Tonight is the peak of the Geminids meteor shower, but our eyes will actually be on the Moon. 🌝
Here at #NASAMarshall we have a Lunar Impact Monitoring team. Typically, we spot about one lunar impact every two hours. But, during the Geminids, we could see one every 12 minutes! ☄️

POV: Your job is preparing Orion — humanity’s ride to the Moon.🌕
As the @NASAArtemis II vehicle manager for the Orion Program at @NASA_Johnson, Branelle Rodriguez has been involved in every stage of the spacecraft’s preparation for its historic mission in 2026. go.nasa.gov/4oFO4lq

A view from the past, guiding the journey ahead.
What a view 🌓
#OTD in 2022, the Orion spacecraft captured this image of the Moon during the Artemis I mission.
Soon, Artemis II will venture back around the Moon with four crew members aboard Orion. Learn more about the mission: go.nasa.gov/4iI0g3B

During #Artemis II, Orion will circle our planet twice before heading to the Moon. Once there, the spacecraft will go around the far side and head back to Earth. This will take nearly 10 days. #AroundTheMoon

Our legacy is exploration. Our future is Artemis.
A defining moment of American exploration.

Launch is scheduled for early next year.

On Nov. 2, @NASA marked 25 years of continuous human presence aboard the @Space_Station, a milestone that began with Expedition 1 in 2000.
The space station has enabled groundbreaking research, international cooperation, and the path forward to the Moon and Mars. 🚀✨go.nasa.gov/44zlpam

Did you guys know we’re going to the moon in a few months? Like Artemis II is actually happening, not some theoretical plan with hardware that still needs to be developed. The rocket is built and waiting to take the crew to the moon.
First time since 1972. This is a big deal!
Artemis retweeted
Last night I captured over 60k photos of the largest supermoon of the year using two telescopes to reveal the hidden color in 119 megapixels. I call the print "Artemis Beckons", after the next crewed lunar mission.

Blood Moon Alert 🔴
Tonight, the Sun, Earth, & Moon will align, casting a deep reddish shadow on the entire near side of the Moon for about an hour. The total lunar eclipse will be visible from Earth’s Western Hemisphere.
