It’s a great honor to be nominated by @POTUS to support @SenBillNelson and help lead NASA. The agency is critical in America’s fight to combat climate change and maintain leadership in space.

Sometimes we just need to blow off some steam...or cosmic hot gas. Using @chandraxray , astronomers have located a chimney of hot gas at the center of our Milky Way galaxy 26,000 light-years away from Earth: Now that's what I call venting! #BlackHoleWeek

"Light this candle!" #OTD in 1961, Alan B. Shepard became the first American in space during a suborbital flight aboard his "Freedom 7" capsule. After the brief but historic flight, President Kennedy committed the U.S. to achieving a lunar landing before the end of the decade.

We've got your weather forecast...from 280 light-years away! Using @NASAWebb , researchers have mapped the climate on the hot gas-giant exoplanet WASP-43 b. How cool (or hot) is that?! This is the power of Webb—to look beyond at distant worlds and better understand our universe.

Looking for a 5-day forecast? One side of planet WASP-43 b is always illuminated by its star, the other in permanent darkness. Webb tells us this gas giant is clear on its dayside and cloudy on its nightside, with equatorial winds of 5,000 miles per hour:

Great News! We have received data from beyond Mars’ orbit using the Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) technology on Psyche. With the ability to transmit data at unprecedented speeds, DSOC opens new possibilities for space exploration and science.
