If you’ve been tuning in, you know landing on Mars is half of the battle–returning the first astronauts home from the Red Planet is the other half.

Asteroid 2023 DZ2 will pass Earth more than 100,000 miles (161,000 km) away–about half the distance to the Moon–making its close approach at 3:51 p.m. EDT (12:51 p.m. PDT). Check out @NASA_Eyes on Asteroids at eyes.nasa.gov/apps/asteroids…

NASA

@NASA

Newly-discovered asteroid 2023 DZ2 will sail safely past Earth today. Asteroids pass our planet safely all the time, but a close approach by one of this size (140–310 ft, or 43–95 m) happens only about once per decade. (There is no known threat for at least the next 100 years.)

I’m definitely planning on going to see them. How does an annular eclipse compare to a total eclipse? I saw a total eclipse in 2017. Is an annular eclipse just as spectacular to experience?

NASA

@NASA

Replying to @Penngwinn

During a total solar eclipse, the Moon completely blocks out the Sun, but that doesn’t happen during an annular eclipse. Still, both are great to experience and learn from! During annular eclipses, we use ground and space instruments to view the Sun's corona, or outer atmosphere.

When Irish skies are smiling...

This cloud-free view of Ireland, the Emerald Isle, was captured from space by our Aqua satellite back in 2010. Happy #StPatricksDay!

What could we do if an asteroid threatened Earth? 65 actor Adam Driver and @AsteroidWatch discuss how we monitor asteroids, preventing a possible impact, and why we’re bringing asteroid samples here with #OSIRISRex. (There are no known threats to Earth for 100+ years.)

Recent volcanic activity has been observed on Venus for the first time.

Scientists made the discovery by poring over archival radar images of Earth’s twin taken in the '90s by our Magellan mission. Our VERITAS mission is set to investigate: go.nasa.gov/3mP5f9O

🎥 And…action! Check out my latest video of the #MarsHelicopter kicking up dust and taking off for Flight #47.

Ingenuity is well beyond its “warranty” at this point, but has been zipping along with me, keeping up for as long as it can as we move together uphill.

We’re announcing two new research institutes that will develop quantum technology to process complex climate data & create new computer models for 3D printed parts to be used in space. Cutting-edge technology is critical to our mission success: go.nasa.gov/3TjW7q3

How does it get ahead of schedule? 2 objects have to meet at an exact spot in the vastness of space. It seems calculations of 'time' would play a very crucial roll in making this meeting a success.

Docking times are often an estimate. In this case, Dragon's rendezvous burns performed better than expected.

Docking of the #CRS27 @SpaceX Dragon confirmed at 7:31am ET (1131 UTC). The cargo spacecraft is carrying a new delivery of @ISS_Research experiments, supplies and cargo including fresh fruits and cheeses for the @Space_Station crew.
