Moon: Stealing the Sun’s spotlight for a sec..
On April 8, the total solar eclipse will pass over Mexico, the United States, and Canada, and will have a longer time in totality than the 2017 eclipse, lasting up to 4 minutes and 28 seconds. The path of totality will be a much wider path than the 2017 eclipse, and there won’t be another total eclipse in the U.S. until 2045. You don’t want to miss it.

Houston, we have results!
The asteroid Bennu sample collected in space and brought to Earth by the #OSIRISREx spacecraft shows evidence of high-carbon content and water, which are building blocks of life as we know it. go.nasa.gov/46oONzb

Happy 1 year in space to @NASA astronaut Frank Rubio!🎉
Did you know the space station orbits Earth every 90 minutes? 🔁
If there are 365 days in a year, 24 hours in a day, and 60 minutes in an hour, how many orbits has Frank completed during his year on the @Space_Station? 🤔

.@NASA_Johnson, we are excited to share that we are embarking on the 10th year of the Micro-g NExT Challenge. Micro-g NExT is an opportunity for undergraduate students to work directly with @NASA engineers to design prototypes for real world (or out of this world) engineering design challenges. Those prototypes are then tested on site with the students at Johnson’s Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory. This challenge gives students the opportunity to see the engineering design process through from beginning to end under the mentorship and guidance of real NASA engineers.
Information sessions begin this week and letters of intent are due September 19, 2023.

I’m so excited to share @NASA_Johnson will open its gates to the public Saturday, Oct. 14, celebrating NASA’s 65th anniversary, the @Space_Station's 25th anniversary and the upcoming Artemis missions to the Moon.
During the open house, visitors will get a free, behind-the-scenes look at some of the agency’s most historic accomplishments, and the exciting work happening right now as NASA returns humans to the Moon and prepares for Mars. Guests may also take advantage of an exciting opportunity to view an annular eclipse -- also known as a “ring of fire” eclipse -- of the Sun.
