A #comet that hasn't been in our cosmic neighborhood in 50,000 years is making its closest approach to Earth on Feb. 2. With binoculars and clear skies, you may spot C/2022 E3 (ZTF) near the Big Dipper. Let us know if you do!

@LoneResolve That is wonderful! We’re glad to have helped out with your research. I guess we can add “helped provide sources for a research paper” to our list of spinoffs.😉

@UndyingJeremy Excellent question. Food processing techniques and packaging solutions vary based on the item's perishability and ingredients. Also, our astronauts do practice growing fresh food aboard the @Space_Station, such as leafy greens, peppers, and radishes. go.nasa.gov/3CyaMY7

@lwzc7799 Great question! Our Milky Way galaxy will likely collide with the neighboring Andromeda galaxy four billion years from now. Our Sun will fling into a new region of our galaxy, but our Earth and solar system are in no danger of being destroyed. go.nasa.gov/40g6MVS

@TonyRoma1992 @ExploreCosmos_ @esa Great question! A Sample Return Lander would land near or in Jezero Crater and load @NASAPersevere samples onto a small rocket. Two Ingenuity-like helicopters would provide a secondary capability to retrieve samples on the Martian surface. mars.nasa.gov/msr

Someone understood the assignment. 🤓
It's official: @NASAPersevere has dropped the final tube for the #MarsSampleReturn depot! Ten samples have been deposited on the Martian surface and could be returned to Earth for in-depth analysis in the future. go.nasa.gov/3WPS5pB
