50 years ago, #Apollo12 astronauts celebrated Thanksgiving aboard the @USNavy's USS Hornet, still in quarantine after their return from the Moon. They arrived back in Houston Nov. 29, along with lunar rocks and parts of the robotic Surveyor 3 lander. https://go.nasa.gov/2XVrev9 pic.twitter.com/p0LX5QMzpH https://twitter.com/NASA/status/1200211533248245762

On their way home from the Moon 50 years ago, the #Apollo12 astronauts witnessed this view of Earth eclipsing the Sun. We’re grateful for our beautiful solar system — and everyone who explores along with us. Happy #Thanksgiving.pic.twitter.com/lQxsTusKTl https://twitter.com/NASASolarSystem/status/1200093890809745408

50 years ago, the #Apollo12 capsule carrying Pete Conrad, Dick Gordon & Alan Bean splashed down in the Pacific and was brought aboard the @USNavy's USS Hornet. Also coming back from the Moon: lunar samples and pieces of our robotic Surveyor 3 spacecraft. https://go.nasa.gov/2QJ6dSR pic.twitter.com/kpEImgswfH https://twitter.com/NASA/status/1198707878137389056

50 years ago, #Apollo12 was struck by lightning twice, seconds after launch. A flight controller's quick action restored systems to normal, and the mission was successfully guided to land on the Moon's Ocean of Storms.

Tomorrow is the 50th anniversary of the launch of #Apollo12! For the long journey, the astronauts needed some sustenance, so here’s a suit tech putting a sandwich in Pete Conrad’s pocket during suit-up for launch.pic.twitter.com/O9eSIBSfJv https://twitter.com/NASAMoon/status/1194655186964365312
