An illustration of a young planet with a surrounding disk of dust and gas potentially forming moons. The planet, which appears dark red, is shown at lower right, circled by a cloudy, clumpy reddish orange-colored disk. The host star appears at upper left, and glows yellow, with its own reddish disk of debris. The disk that surrounds the planet takes up about half the illustration. The black background of space is speckled with stars. At the bottom of the illustration, graphics of molecules are listed in the following order: Acetylene, Carbon Dioxide, Ethane, Benzene, Hydrogen cyanide. The words Artist’s Concept appear at upper right.

#NASAWebb has found the first direct evidence of potential moon formation around a giant exoplanet. The discovery is shedding light on how such systems evolve and why moons could be potentially habitable worlds: https://bit.ly/46xGodN 🔭 🧪

JUST IN! Congress is considering a stopgap bill to keep the government open through Nov. 20. OMB is planning to cut billions from NASA during this, risking paid-for missions and thousands of jobs.

Tell Congress to protect NASA science and prevent these cuts: www.planetary.org/advocacy-act...

NASA workers plan 3rd protest at D.C. headquarters on Sept. 15 to decry Trump's science funding cuts 'Congress says they want to save NASA. Let's see them do it now.'

Thank you @space.com for covering our upcoming protest on Monday! www.space.com/space-explor... #nasaneedshelp #fundingcuts #nasa #sciencestandstogether

Humanity can bring these samples back, but the White House is considering abandoning the mission. Tell Congress they must act and pass timely appropriations for NASA to prevent a funding gap: www.planetary.org/advocacy-act...

NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year - NASA A sample collected by NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover from an ancient dry riverbed in Jezero Crater could preserve evidence of ancient microbial life. Taken

BREAKING NEWS: NASA has found a potential sign of past life on Mars. www.nasa.gov/news-release...

We’re still pushing to keep NASA whole! Tell Congress to get their “power of the purse” back and NASA leadership to uphold their oaths to the constitution and the NASA principles of science and exploration for all humankind. #nasaneedshelp #sciencestandstogether #keeppushing

Another "Save NASA" Protest At NASA HQ on Monday There will be another “Save NASA” protest at NASA Headquarters

There will be another “Save NASA” protest at #NASA Headquarters on Monday Sept. 15th. This is the third “Save NASA” protest in Washington, DC. nasawatch.com/activism/ano...

Webb’s Search for Habitable Worlds Some exoplanets sound like sci-fi, but they’re real. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is revealing new details about planets orbiting distant stars.

Néstor Espinoza, an astronomer at STScI, explains how #NASAWebb is revealing new details about exoplanets, especially rocky worlds like Earth. Catch him on the latest episode of "NASA's Curious Universe." 🔭 🧪

Our grassroots awareness team handed out over 200 mini-flyers yesterday at @airandspacemuseum! The flyers had facts on how to support NASA. Seeing as everyone in line was interested in learning about aeronautics and space, they were predominantly receptive to our message. #nasa #nasaneedshelp

We are extremely concerned at the recent announcement from Wallops and Goddard telling of building and service closures.

1/n

Nearly 4,000 NASA employees opt to leave agency through deferred resignation program The employees who have chosen to leave the agency amount to about 20% of NASA's workforce.

Nearly 4k NASA employees - about 20% of the agency - are announced to be leaving under the Trump admin’s deferred resignation program.

This comes days after hundreds of #NASA workers signed the #VoyagerDeclaration.

In scathing letter, NASA workers rebuke ‘rapid and wasteful changes’ at agency | CNN Current and former NASA employees have co-signed a declaration protesting changes at the agency that some say pose a grave risk to astronauts.

Hundreds of NASA employees have sounded the alarm.

They took the risk. Now it’s your turn. Stand with NASA employees calling out corruption and dangerous cuts.
