The Red Planet has fueled imaginations for decades. Last month, to mark 60 years since we saw the first images of Mars, we asked young artists to show us what the planet might look like to future astronauts. They did not disappoint with their out-of-this-world creativity!

Integrity. That's what the Artemis II astronauts have decided to name their Orion spacecraft, which will take them from @NASAKennedy on their journey around the Moon and return them safely back to Earth.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope discovered the Cosmic Vine, a chain of 20 linked galaxies spanning 13 million light-years. This structure aids in understanding galaxy clustering and evolution in the early universe. It offers insights into the cosmic web, a network of galaxies connected by dark matter and gas, illustrating how gravity formed stars, planets, and galaxies post-Big Bang. Beyond its visual appeal, the Cosmic Vine serves as a lab for studying dark matter, galaxy interactions, and the universe's large-scale architecture. Webb highlights space's beauty and complexity, underscoring our place in it.

The autumnal equinox is here! 🍂 Today marks the first day of fall in the Northern Hemisphere and first day of spring in the Southern Hemisphere. What will you be doing to celebrate the equinox?
