An image taken on Mars by NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter during the rotorcraft’s 51st flight on April 22, 2023, the 772nd Martian day, or sol, of the rover’s mission. You can just see NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover way off in the distance in the top left of the image.

Quelle perspective ! L'hélicoptère #Ingenuity 🚁, à ~10m de haut, photographie le rover #Perseverance garé devant le cratère Belva, de 900 m de diamètre. L'ombre d'Ingenuity est visible au sol.
La déformation de cette image du vol 51 est due à l'objectif fish-eye de la caméra. #Mars #Mars2020 #NASAJPL https://www.flickr.com/photos/thomasappere/52842880706/in/dateposted-public/

THIS IS FANTASTIC: The Global CTX Mosaic of #Mars. ✨🔴✨ https://bit.ly/MarsCTX

"The Bruce Murray Laboratory for Planetary Visualization has completed a 5.7 terapixel mosaic of the surface of Mars rendered at 5.0 m/px. Each pixel in the mosaic is about the size of a typical parking space, providing unprecedented resolution of the martian surface at the global scale."

So proud to be starting my fifth year as a #NASAJPL Solar System Ambassador. We have so many amazing space missions currently ongoing or will be launching that I am excited to talk about this year. Thanks to NASA/JPL and all the other ambassadors for their dedication and support in this program. #humbled #honored #priviledged

Asiantuntijat tekevät laskelmiaan ja valtiot ilmoittelevat omia päästöjään ja nielujaan. Mitenköhän nämä vertautuvat esim tähän mitattuun dataan? Voitaisiinko tällaista käyttää päätöksenteossa?

BTW NASA, jos teidän rahoitusta kohta leikataan niin tiedätte miksi.

I finished a few 3D projects demonstrating the properties of stars and their distances which will aid my upcoming #NASAJPL Solar System Ambassador presentations. When we look at the canvas of the night sky, we can perceive the colors of stars but not their size or distance. These models help us better understand challenging astronomy concepts and compliments learning for the visually impaired. #astronomy #constellations #stars #3dmodel #stem

We're not just about awesome space robots; #NASAJPL's incredible scientists are also making huge strides in quantum optics. Writing this feature about the #PEACOQ project almost broke my brain, but what an incredible technology... and it's not sci-fi. This is happening NOW: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-quantum-detector-achieves-world-leading-milestone

There might be other great #hashtag, but wanted to add some to this post.

This was a fascinating #NASAJPL news feature to work on and it emphasizes the need of further research into Venus. Using archived #NASAMagellen mission observations, a new study suggests the planet's lithosphere may be "squishy", causing regional resurfacing.

"For so long we’ve been locked into this idea that #Venus' lithosphere is stagnant and thick, but our view is now evolving.” - Sue Smrekar, study lead and #VERITAS mission principal investigator.

Just subscribed to “The Last Soviet,” an incredible podcast about the cosmonaut stranded on the USSR’s space station at the end of the Cold War for almost a year. Via my wife #ShellyFryer https://pca.st/podcast/02ca2cf0-8a08-013b-f2f1-0acc26574db2 #SpaceEd #nasajpl

I never get tired of writing about the incredible work by #NASAJPL scientists who ping radar off nearby space rocks. The science that is gained from planetary radar is 🔥 And ranging measurements can help #CNEOS determine asteroids' orbit for decades, or centuries into the future https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-planetary-radar-captures-detailed-view-of-oblong-asteroid

One of my middle school robotics students coded a #Scratch Maze inspired by the #NASA #NASAJPL documentary, "Goodnight Oppy."

I'm hoping her 5th graders can play it & leave the author (Leo) some feedback! Please share this with your students too! #STEM #Space #SpaceEd #NCed #coding #edutooter

Getting in that #SpecialSauce at #NASAJPL today. Peering down into the clean rooms at the Spacecraft Assembly Facility looking at #NISAR and #EuropaClipper as well as visiting my ‘old friend’ the hand-color first image of Mars from Mariner 4.

Jan 31, 1958: The first US satellite, Explorer 1, was launched #OTD from Cape Canaveral. According to #NASAJPL, Explorer 1 "was designed, built and operated by the #NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory." https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/explorer-1 #histstm

A subject that sorely merits real-world study is the chemical composition and source-strength of #Emissions to the #Atmosphere from #Landfills in the CONUS, especially the arid West. Yes #Methane (thank you #nasajpl ), but there are likely myriad nasty toxics. And #EnvironmentalJustice communities marinading in such plumes. Need flux towers, #EddyCovariance the works. Garden variety conventional monitoring for odor complaints doesn't cut it.

Status update for #LunarFlashlight: Our little spacecraft is happy and healthy, though three of its thrusters are not providing as much oomph as expected. The mission team is now modifying their plans to get the small satellite into its planned near-rectilinear halo orbit.
