We arrived, we TAG-ed… and soon, we’re making our way back home 🌎 Celebrate with us as we prepare for OSIRIS-REx's departure from asteroid Bennu! Download the annual OSIRIS-REx commemorative poster here: bit.ly/3czjYwT
We're counting down to 🥧#PiDay✨ with the math problems we use to explore space at @NASA. Can you calculate how many of @OSIRISREx's circular sample pads had to touch the asteroid Bennu to meet the mission goal. Take the #NASAPiDayChallenge at go.nasa.gov/piday
Don't forget, I'll be moving to my new Twitter home to join other asteroid missions like #MissionToPsyche and the #LucyMission. Check @NASASolarSystem for updates on the journey #ToBennuAndBack starting on March 15 🦾
Hi Friends! In two weeks I'll be moving to my new Twitter home 🏠 Be sure to follow me over to @NASASolarSystem, where you can find future updates on me and my mission #ToBennuAndBack 🌑
Mary W. Jackson, one of our Hidden Figures who helped us succeed in getting @NASA_Astronauts into space, will be honored during a ceremony featuring poet Nikki Giovanni, journalist @abbydphillip, historian @HenryLouisGates & many others. Watch at 1pm ET: go.nasa.gov/2ZUpS5S
Look at all those rocks! Congratulations and yee-haw, @NASAPersevere!

It's time ... @NASAPersevere is ready for Mars! Tune in to nasa.gov/nasalive at 2:15 pm EST to watch the the live broadcast of Perseverance's landing on the red planet. Good luck to the entire team! #CountdownToMars
Wishing my rover sampling friend a safe landing tomorrow! You got this @NASAPersevere 🦾 Join the #CountdownToMars tomorrow at 2:15 pm EST nasa.gov/nasalive
LIVE NOW🔴 Tune in to see what to expect from the most difficult Mars landing ever attempted. I’m the most massive and technologically advanced rover to date, and one day from the most harrowing part of my trip: Entry Descent and Landing. youtu.be/SO6__cLGkYw #CountdownToMars
It’s #ValentinesDay this weekend! Spread the love with an OSIRIS-REx card 💌 Download a Valentine’s card from the lovely collection here: bit.ly/2ZdrZl0
On April 7, I’ll take one last look at asteroid Bennu 🌑 I’ll spend ~4 hours capturing images from 2.4 miles (3.8 km), focusing on site Nightingale to see how Bennu’s surface was transformed by the sample collection event. More about the final flyby: go.nasa.gov/3p9Rj61
35 years ago today, the space shuttle Challenger and all seven crew members aboard were lost. On this Day of Remembrance, we honor the Challenger crew and all who gave their lives while furthering the cause of exploration and discovery: youtu.be/CnqCWo46fzM #NASARemembers
Save the date! I'll be leaving Bennu on May 10 — but it looks like I might get one last close-up with the asteroid before my journey back to Earth 🛰🌎 Learn more about the departure and final flyby here: bit.ly/2M9VG3f
The samples from asteroid Ryugu in the re-entry capsule weigh about 5.4g! This greatly exceeds the the target yield of 0.1g (the amount required for the initial scientific analysis) set during the design of Hayabusa2. (Article in Japanese: fanfun.jaxa.jp/topics/detail/…)
