All about the Perseid meteors, which are actually small pieces of space debris that originate from comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle http://go.nasa.gov/3OQ7e9s

The meteors are coming! ☄️ The annual Perseid meteor shower peaks on the night of Aug. 12-13. It's a great time to watch for meteors, sometimes called "shooting stars" – especially if you have access to clear, dark skies away from city lights. https://youtu.be/Nz6m-9MZSmE?t=65

Laser-like focus on the future: Using experimental laser technology aboard #MissionToPsyche, engineers will attempt to demonstrate 10 to 100 times the data capacity of state-of-the-art radio systems used in interplanetary missions today. 📡

Using data from @NASAMars' InSight lander, scientists have made the most precise measurements ever of the Red Planet’s rotation. https://go.nasa.gov/3DIsWGa
How? Giant radio antennas on Earth! 🌏📡🔴 Specifically, @NASASCaN's Deep Space Network.[Video embedded in original tweet]

Fresh from Jupiter, we have new views of its active moon Io, thanks to the #JunoMission. JunoCam even caught a glimpse of a volcanic plume! This is Prometheus, the "Old Faithful of Io." More images: https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/processing?source=public

As one @nasa asteroid mission prepares to leave Earth, another is on its way back. The #OSIRISRex spacecraft will drop off its sample return capsule to the Utah desert on Sept. 24. https://www.nasa.gov/osiris-rex #ToBennuAndBack

What's Up in August? Saturn reaches opposition, meaning it's at its biggest and brightest for the year. The "shooting stars" of the Perseid meteors are a must-see overnight on August 12-13. And August brings two full moons. https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/skywatching/home/

Our #JunoMission is making ever closer passes by Jupiter’s moon Io. The spacecraft will take another look at the active, volcanic moon on July 30 – with even closer flybys to come. 🌋 https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/news/nasa-s-juno-is-getting-ever-closer-to-jupiter-s-moon-io

How do planets get their names? Aside from Earth, planets in our solar system were named after ancient gods. Today, the job of naming falls to the International Astronomical Union, the internationally recognized authority for naming celestial bodies. https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/

Mercury is the closest planet to our Sun – yet ice may lurk in its shadowed polar craters. New NASA research is shedding more light on the terrain near the planet's south pole.

What a fascinating time, when we can not only explore our own solar system, but glimpse the workings of other planetary systems – across both time and space – with @NASAWebb and @NASAExoplanets

Our daredevil spacecraft is almost home! On Sept. 24, after a seven-year-long journey #ToBennuAndBack, OSIRIS-REx will return to Earth with a sample of asteroid Bennu.

With less than 100 days to go before launch, NASA’s Psyche spacecraft is undergoing final preparations at Cape Canaveral. 🚀 The #MissionToPsyche will journey to a place we've never visited before – a metal-rich asteroid. https://youtu.be/y__vwRQ3PVg

July is a great month to see the center of the Milky Way under clear, dark skies. 🌌 This long exposure image reveals green airglow and details in the Milky Way not visible to the naked eye. http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/skywatching/

Due to a postponed launch that made its asteroid targets inaccessible, NASA has decided to conclude the Janus mission. Janus was part of our SIMPLEx program of low-cost, high risk science missions ride-sharing with primary missions. https://go.nasa.gov/3OaxxHg

Congratulations to the NANOGrav team! We're excited that our #JunoMission to Jupiter played a role in this historic discovery by providing key data about the solar system's barycenter. https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/barycenter/en/

Are there earthquakes on other planets? Yes – but we don’t call them earthquakes. Instead, “moonquakes” and “marsquakes” are shaking things up in space https://go.nasa.gov/3N68hP1

Venus and the Moon setting in hazy skies over Horseshoe Springs, Utah. Mars is also visible, just to the upper left of Venus. The trio will appear even closer together in the western sky tonight. More stargazing tips: https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/skywatching/whats-up/
