A shiny surprise off the coast of South Africa.✨ Above the thunderstorm, the bright red flashes are a rarely captured lightning event called red sprites. These colorful bursts of energy could help researchers understand the Earth's climate and weather.

Surprise! (again) Asteroid Bennu continues to reveal the unexpected. A new #OSIRISREx paper explains how its dust holds essential components for life and how the sample mirrors a type of rock found at mid-ocean ridges on Earth. Read more:

You've heard that it's called the Red Planet (because of the iron minerals in its soil), and you've read about the @MarsCuriosity and @NASAPersevere rovers rolling over its surface. But how much do you *really* know about Mars? We have the dirt:

Why is #AsteroidDay observed today? On June 30, 1908, a jaw-dropping explosion flattened millions of trees in a remote part of Siberia. The cause: a meteor air burst by an asteroid about 180 ft (55 m) wide. The history of the Tunguska Event:

On June 30, 1908, an asteroid plunged into Earth’s atmosphere and exploded in the skies over Siberia. Local eyewitnesses in the sparsely populated region

When we travel to other planets, microbes will inevitably be along for the ride. Read how Monday's @ISS_Research spacewalk will help us understand how these organisms survive and evolve when they are exposed to space and how we can limit the spread of contamination as we explore

NASA does great work because of the wizards who work here—our OSIRIS-REx team is a shining example! The samples they retrieved from asteroid Bennu are helping us understand our solar system and protect humanity here on Earth.

Astronauts will swab outer surfaces of @Space_Station to learn if station releases microbes and, if so, how far they travel. Samples could inform what microorganisms can survive the harsh space environment and potentially contaminate planetary bodies visited on future missions.
