Stargazers, be sure to look up tonight. ✨
With clear skies, the stars in the night sky will appear bright because our Moon is in its new phase, where the Moon is in the same part of the sky as the Sun, making it invisible to those on Earth. go.nasa.gov/3QUEBa1

This weekend, we launched a suborbital rocket from northern Australia to study X-rays deep within the Milky Way.
Next up Down Under? Two missions measuring ultraviolet light from Alpha Centauri, supporting our search for life on other worlds: go.nasa.gov/3QQtZZS
Liftoff! 🚀 The XQC mission is on its way to suborbital space to measure X-rays coming from the inner part of our galaxy. The entire flight lasts around 15 minutes before the payload safely parachutes back down to Earth.

Congratulations to John Williams on receiving the Exceptional Public Achievement Medal. His unforgettable film scores, including Star Wars, have inspired curiosity in many of us. We’ve been fortunate to incorporate his work into NASA concerts at the @KenCen and around the world.
Our friends at @NASA presented #JohnWilliams with an Exceptional Public Achievement Medal at @kencen during this week's birthday festivities! 🚀🥇🤩 #JohnWilliamsAt90

Although #MissionToPsyche does not have a path to launch in 2022, I am incredibly proud of this team. Despite the many obstacles they faced, this team persevered to find solutions to bring this mission this far.
Some decisions aren't easy, but they're the right ones to make. Our #MissionToPsyche won't make its planned 2022 launch attempt. An independent review board (usually experts from government, academia & industry) will look at options for next steps: go.nasa.gov/3Nsg9du
