The universe has a musical side. 🎶 Meet the Treble Clef, an unusual radio structure stretching more than 2 million light-years across space. Its shape is striking, but the science behind it is even more fascinating. Studying structures like this can reveal how galaxy clusters interact and evolve. In this composite, radio emission appears in red, X-rays in blue, and infrared data in white: go.nasa.gov/3WCV89U

As today’s space-based laser instruments measure Earth's terrain, they leave gaps that can include millions of acres. Learn how NASA CASALS blends machine learning with an ultra-compact lidar to eliminate blind spots and create truly 3D images of Earth’s surface: go.nasa.gov/4zLpSnI

Day meets night at the lunar terminator. 🌗 The @NASAArtemis II crew highlighted this shadowy frontier during their close encounter in April. Now it’s your turn to explore! No spaceship needed.

A powerful launch. Big questions about life in space 🚀 Now on the @Space_Station, four NASA investigations will study brain cells, crop disease, astronaut health monitoring, and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. What we learn could help protect crews and support future exploration. go.nasa.gov/47cAcsF

One step closer to boots on the Moon! 🌙 To prepare for Moon Base, NASA needs to know what physical tasks crews can handle immediately after landing—and Artemis II provided some insight. Soon after splashdown, the crew suited up and tackled mission-critical tasks, demonstrating successful performance within hours of their return.

AVATAR-Org1 launched this morning and is on its way to @Space_Station! 🧠 Following AVATAR’s journey around the Moon on @NASAArtemis II, this new investigation will study lab-grown brain tissue to better understand how spaceflight affects human health. go.nasa.gov/4zpUxqk

Fitness goals don’t stop in space 💪 During their mission, @NASAArtemis II astronauts used a compact device, the flywheel, similar to a rowing machine, for daily exercise. Using the device helped the crew maintain muscle strength on their mission.

Ready to make an impact!? The @NASAArtemis II crew spotted lunar impact flashes, brief flickers from space rocks hitting the Moon. Their data matched reports from Earth-based volunteers. Grab your telescope and join the Impact Flash! project today: go.nasa.gov/4iSwxas
A crew member inside a spacecraft looks upward, illuminated by dim lighting. Text reads “Artemis II Crew Spotted 5 Impact Flashes.” Additional text encourages those with telescopes to help record these brief flashes of light. NASA Science branding appears below
