There's only one perfect photo for this year's Earth Day, and it's this one that the Artemis II crew took. Happy Earth Day.

A vivid digital artwork of a planetary nebula resembling a glowing cosmic eye, with a bright central star surrounded by concentric rings of blue, gold, and white gas. Wispy, luminous filaments radiate outward into a dark star-filled background, creating a dramatic, swirling halo effect.

The void blinked, and in the gap between darkness and forever, an iris of azure flame and gilded interstellar dust unfolds. Tendrils of dying starlight comb the black for a last embrace—a universe-wide sigh dressed in a halo of final, radiant breath.

NASA astronaut Christina Koch sits in an U.S. Navy MH-60S Seahawk attached to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 23 on the flight deck of the San Antonio Class amphibious transport dock USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) after returning from space on Apr. 10, 2026.

This picture of Astronaut Christina Koch after the Artemis landing is frankly incredible and beautiful.

Science literacy rates are at an all time low

You got this! Let us know how it went! :)

THEY SENT FOUR HUMAN BEINGS 252,756 MILES AWAY, WENT FULLY AROUND THE MOON AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO LAND IN THE PRECISE LOCATION THEY WANTED

EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS IS THE COOLEST PERSON ON EARTH

FQ The last time we went to the moon, women couldn't open a credit card on their own. Now they're flying to the moon and leading the Mission Control Center.

These are the women who made Artemis II possible.

The last time the US landed on the moon in 1969, women couldn’t get a credit card without a co-signer.

Also- they made the calculations to make that happen too.

Picture of the century. 😍

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.

Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

🌕 💛

I love this photo of astronaut Christina Koch looking back at Earth from Artemis II.

She's the first woman to see the full sphere of our beautiful planet.

Welcome home to the crew, and thank you for reminding us of all we can discover together.

A starfield filled with thousands of stars and shining clouds of dust. The Milky Way\u2019s elegant spiral structure is dominated by just two arms wrapping off the ends of a central bar of stars. Spanning more than 100,000 light-years, Earth is located along one of the galaxy\u2019s spiral arms, about halfway from the center. Credit: NASA

OH. MY. GOD.

THIS IS THE MILKY WAY SHOT BY THE ARTEMIS II CREW. LOOK AT ALL THOSE STARS!!!!

You are already Accomplished in ways that matter!

You are undeniably Amazing!

Went outside, looked up, accidentally fell in love with the universe again 💫

Jupiter understood me. The galaxies? Dramatic as always 🌌✨

Proof I touched space this weekend (emotionally, not physically) 💫✨ 😜

I can’t believe how beautiful the Orion Nebula is 🥰

The night holds its breath… and then… the moon rises. 🌕✨

The Pink Moon.
Not loud. Not obvious.
But undeniable.

A quiet glow cutting through the dark like a scene you feel more than you see. Every shadow softer. Every thought louder. Every heartbeat… cinematic.

AMAZE AMAZE AMAZE 🚀👾 👎

Yup! I have plants to water! 🌱🪴😜

When your kid comes back from school and needs to hug our tree to recharge some good energy!

It’s hard to stay positive and motivated when you are surrounded by chaos, fear and uncertainty. Losing faith and the will to live…

Good Monday morning y'all! 🌄

María Corina Machado wins the Nobel Peace Prize for her work promoting democratic rights in Venezuela

Happy Nobel Peace Prize day to all who celebrate! 🕊️

In a brilliant and well deserved move, an (1) antifa (2) Latina (3) woman, María Corina Machado, wins for her work promoting democratic rights in Venezuela.

“I wish I could un-recall
How we almost had it all
Dancing phantoms on the terrace
Are they second-hand embarrassed
That I can't get out of bed
'Cause something counterfeit's dead?
It was legendary
It was momentary
It was unnecessary
Should've let it stay buried… You're the loss of my life” -TS

Right?! 💙

Letting go…

Lady Liberty looks like a love letter to hope. 🗽✨🌇

The Perseids are here! One of the brightest meteor showers of the year. Look up tonight and you might catch dozens of streaks of light, each a tiny piece of cosmic dust burning up in Earth’s atmosphere.
