The Moon has a layer of dust and loose rocks on its surface called regolith, which is extremely fine and abrasive. This regolith is the result of billions of years of impacts from meteorites and micrometeorites. One surprising fact about lunar regolith is that it can cling to everything, including spacesuits, due to its electrostatic charge and jagged edges. This clinging property caused significant issues for Apollo astronauts, affecting their equipment and posing a challenge for future lunar missions.

.@NASASolarSystem’s Juno spacecraft (built by us!) has collected data during two recent flybys of Io, highlighting two of the Jovian moon’s most dramatic features: a mountain 🏔 and an almost glass-smooth lake of cooling lava.

Today, our team is working alongside @NASA and @ulalaunch for the #Starliner prelaunch Mission Dress Rehearsal in preparation for the Crew Flight Test launch May 6. Launch, mission controllers and the crew will run through the same procedures they will on launch day. 📸: ULA

We’re pleased to be in Houston, Texas this week meeting with NASA, as well as our partners at @Axiom_Space and @OdysseySpaceRes. And of course we had to take our FLEX rover for a spin! We may be driving in Axiom’s parking lot today, but we’ll be driving on the lunar surface soon! – at Texas, USA

An incredible story from @DownHereOnEarth about how chickpeas grow just fine in moon dust if you just manage to mix in some fungus and earthworm manure. How's that for wholesome science fiction come to life in the pages of @newscientist newscientist.com/article/241…

No, NASA will not “capture” asteroid Psyche, but will visit and study it. And it is not worth 10 $Quintillion since value is what someone will pay, but there isn’t that much $ in the whole global economy, and it won’t make everyone on Earth billionaires🤦‍♂️. unilad.com/technology/space/… – at University, FL

Today's #OSIRISREx asteroid sample landing isn't just the end of a 7-year, 3.9-billion-mile journey through space. It takes us 4.5 billion years back in time. These rocks will help us understand the origin of organics and water that may have seeded life on Earth. go.nasa.gov/48tadwj

"We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard." #OTD 61 years ago, President Kennedy set @NASA on the path to go to the Moon with Apollo. Today, #Artemis builds on that legacy: go.nasa.gov/3PhH2U8
