Dr. Lauren Edgar being announced as a NASA Astronaut Candidate in the 2025 class.

I'm absolutely THRILLED to hear my Mars colleague, Dr. Lauren Edgar was selected for the 2025 ASCAN Class. She will be an unbelievable addition to the Astronaut Corps- representing our Mars geology community well- and joining our current Mars geology NASA Astronaut, Dr. Jessica Watkins.

Congrats Jupiter!

Advocacy Action Center The Planetary Society is organizing a new space constituency that is educated, empowered, and loud.

Reports are coming out that the administration is planning on cutting the NASA science budget by 50%. This would effectively end America’s space exploration program. Please consider filling out this form to send a message to the administration and your local representatives to protest these cuts.

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
