1966: Lunar Orbiter 1 1968: Apollo 8’s “Earthrise” 2026: Artemis II’s “Earthset” Three images tracing the arc of lunar exploration. We have come a long way. And there is still so much farther to go. With Artemis and the Moon Base, we’ll explore new ground, pursue new https://t.
The historic first photograph of Earth taken from the vicinity of the Moon, captured by NASA’s Lunar Orbiter 1 on Aug. 23, 1966. In the black-and-white image, a partially illuminated Earth appears above the lunar horizon against the darkness of space. The Moon’s rugged, cratered surface fills the lower half of the frame, with faint vertical scan lines visible across the image. Credit: NASA
The iconic “Earthrise” photograph captured by astronaut Bill Anders during the Apollo 8 mission on Dec. 24, 1968. The Moon’s gray, textured surface stretches across the bottom of the image, while Earth appears small in the distance above the lunar horizon, surrounded by black space. Blue oceans, white cloud patterns and land are visible on the planet. Anders took the photograph from the Apollo 8 spacecraft as the crew traveled in lunar orbit. Credit: NASA
The “Earthset” image captured through a window of the Orion spacecraft during the Artemis II crew’s flyby of the Moon on April 6, 2026. A partially illuminated blue-and-white Earth appears behind the Moon’s cratered horizon against the blackness of space. Swirling white clouds are visible across Earth’s sunlit side, while much of the planet is in darkness. In the foreground, the rugged lunar surface stretches across the lower half of the image.

When one Moon picture simply will not do. 🌖📸 This mosaic combines 1,231 images from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has spent 17+ years studying the Moon. Consider LRO your inspiration to do a little Moon observing of your own on Sept. 19 for International Observe ht
Photomosaic of the Moon created from 1,231 images captured by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The mosaic shows the Moon against a black background, with hundreds of individual image tiles forming a detailed view of its cratered surface, darker plains and varied terrain.

Vertical solar arrays. In-space manufacturing. Radioisotope generators. Nanomaterials production. NASA is seeking proposals to advance the innovative technologies and capabilities needed to enable a sustained human presence on the lunar surface. Help NASA build the Moon Base. h
Inside a large, dark chamber, a long white cylindrical structure stretches horizontally across the center of the image, supported at both ends. Two technicians in white garments stand on either side. Bright lights shine from the back of the chamber, and a gold-colored, foil-covered component sits on a platform below. The image was taken during vertical solar array technology prototype testing in Chamber A at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in July 2024. Credit: NASA/James Blair

#OTD in 1962, President John F. Kennedy stood at Rice University in Houston and gave voice to a challenge that would inspire a generation and help set humanity on a course for the Moon. What began as a bold vision became footprints on the Moon. Now, we’re building on that legacy
President John F. Kennedy smiles while standing behind a wooden podium bearing the presidential seal during his 1962 speech at Rice University in Houston. Several microphones are positioned in front of him, while people behind him applaud and the stadium stands rise in the background.

POV: You’re riding shotgun on the Moon. The Lunar Roving Vehicle transformed Apollo surface exploration. Now we’re bringing that legacy of lunar mobility to the Moon’s South Pole region.

Copper. Crimson. Rust. Tonight's deep partial lunar eclipse will paint the Moon shades of red, orange, and copper. At maximum eclipse, 96.3% of the Moon will be immersed in Earth’s umbra, its dark central shadow, creating a scene that closely resembles a total lunar eclipse. htt 16.5K views · 392 likes · 58 reposts · 12 replies Open on X →

Dish just in: NASA’s Deep Space Network just got a signal boost. The agency’s newest 114-foot-wide antenna is strengthening the communications system that helps missions exploring the Moon and beyond stay connected to Earth. https://t.co/9jhyNhIySC https://t.co/IfOJ1B0Vth 14.5K views · 343 likes · 48 reposts · 7 replies Open on X →

A little Monday motivation from the Moon itself. 🙂🌖 This cheerful crater is Gauss W, a roughly 18.5-kilometer-wide formation tucked inside the much larger Gauss crater on the Moon’s far side. From above, the crater looks remarkably happy to see us. The smiling face is a https: 66.7K views · 894 likes · 130 reposts · 14 replies Open on X →

@NASAMoonBase NASA should read Heinlein's The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress for some ideas. One question from the book we should all consider is how to protect those of us who stay on Earth from the possibility of Loonies launching rocks at us once they have a catapult built. 1.5K views · 15 likes · 0 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →
