I had the great honor of portraying Ken Mattingly in the film Apollo 13 in the 90's. A great American hero. Rest in Peace T.K. Thank you for your service to our country. nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-a…

Know a "tween” kid, aged 8 to 12, who can’t get enough science? Here’s an ideal book for them, based on the No. 1 best-seller of a similar name.
“Astrophysics for Young People in A Hurry”

Still have issues with Pluto’s demotion?
Here is the fully illustrated story. The science, the culture, the embattled defenders. Who, What, When, Where, Why, & How.

The pudgy, lovable, mildly creepy, microscopic Tardigrade “WaterBear” would make a most excellent @Macys Thanksgiving Day parade balloon.

Thanks @LabAidsDiVito and @nicklescience for a fun experience creating critters! #Mast2021
Check out these critters created during our 2nd workshop of the day at MAST! This activity came from our middle school program by SEPUP! It’s called Breeding Critters! #mast2021

Every January, we pause to honor the crews of Apollo 1 and space shuttles Challenger and Columbia, who sacrificed their lives while furthering the cause of space exploration and discovery. We honor their legacy and have them in our hearts always. #NASARemembers

A happy December Solstice to all residents of Planet Earth.
Henceforth, day by day, the Northern Hemisphere gains daylight. The Southern Hemisphere loses daylight. And equatorial residents, as always, sit through 12hrs of day and 12hrs of night — all year round

The Leap Day alone overcorrects the calendar, requiring we remove a Leap Day every century year.
But that under-corrects the calendar, requiring we put a Leap Day back in, every four centuries.
Behold the Gregorian Calendar.

Want to know the science behind the #broomstickchallenge ? No, it's not the moon or planet alignment...allow our Education Associate, Sarah, explain. 🧹

Okay let’s clear up this #broomchallenge 🤡
1) There is no gravitational pull physics or spooky science that causes a broom to stand up on Feb 10th, lol
2) a broom can stand on its own any day of the year it just depends on the thickness of the bristles in relation to the pole

A new way of chemical recycling was just invented! Researchers at the University of Bath were able to break down plastic into individual constituent molecules to be reused to make plastic of the same quality as the original.
