The longest-operating spacecraft at Mars just completed its 100,000th orbit! Odyssey launched 23 years ago in 2001. In addition to relaying data for @NASA's Mars surface missions, it has mapped minerals and ice across the Martian surface and more. go.nasa.gov/3VIWnQT
An infographic is shown highlighting the various milestones of the 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter. The background is a swatch of light red blending into light blue with an illustration of the orbiter in the center. To the left the graphic shows 23 years in orbit, 17.1 terabits of data returned, 1.33 terabits of data relayed from Mars surface missions, and science.nasa.gov/mission/odyssey as a link. To the right it shows 100,000 orbits, 1.4 million images taken, relay support for 6 Mars missions, and states this was updated in June 2024.

.@NASAJuno spacecraft, using its JIRAM instrument, has captured detailed infrared images of volcanic activity on Jupiter's moon Io. These images reveal the widespread presence of lava lakes and provide new insights into Io's volcanic processes. Juno's close flybys have shown that about 3% of Io's surface is covered by molten lava lakes with a dynamic crust, constantly breaking and reforming. These observations enhance understanding of Io’s extreme volcanic nature and the mechanisms driving its eruptions. 👉 nature.com/articles/s43247-0…

I hope people truly understand the monument of this. I've watch @That_Astro_Chic start highlighting Black astronomers on her Twitter years ago. She founded @BlackInAstro. The leadership team for @BlackInAstro worked to develop #BlackSpaceWeek formally known as #BlackInAstroWeek

My grandpa who is 85 started making this rock map of Scotland in 1992.He collected rocks during amateur geology trips over 30 years. He says it had to be geologically correct and also aesthetically pleasing.He asked if I could share online as He wants to go viral so please share

Hard day for our space community: 1 in 12 of JPLers making US planetary missions happen loses their job. When NASA chooses execution to a FY24 space sci budget ~$500M lower in op yr as Congress hasn't yet agreed to FY23 levels, our nation slips as a leader. *People* make missions

Because of the wait for an FY24 budget from Congress, NASA JPL will be forced to lay off 530 employees. jpl.nasa.gov/news/jpl-workfo…

Flight 72. That’s the final flight for our Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter. Ingenuity and its team proved that powered, controlled flight on another world was possible. #ThanksIngenuity. You may rest, but your legacy will continue to soar: go.nasa.gov/4ba7byi

This time last year I was exploring the awesome geology of Arizona with the incredible @GeospaceUF programme. The importance of accessing field work is something I will never stop talking about. The confidence, joy and learning I gained from the experience is incalculable 🏜️♿️

After a journey of nearly 3.9 billion miles, the #OSIRISREx asteroid sample return capsule is back on Earth. Teams perform the initial safety assessment—the first persons to come into contact with this hardware since it was on the other side of the solar system.
