The period 1July 2019 - 30June 2020 was the warmest 12 months ever recorded. Wildfires, floods, storms, droughts, melting permafrost, locust swarms, historic heatwaves. And now glaciers are literally collapsing in front of our eyes.
When will we start treating this as a crisis?

My first planned Trajectory Correction Maneuver was a success. I do TCMs on my journey to stay on target for a Feb. 18, 2021 date with Mars. I left Earth over 2 weeks ago and already put on 27+ million miles. Only ~265 million more to go! #CountdownToMars go.nasa.gov/3aocag5

I love when the sunlight hits the @Space_Station solar arrays with this golden shimmer – even better against the multihued backdrop of sunset.

#DYK After landing, @Astro_Christina will have made 5,248 orbits of the Earth 🌍 — a journey of 139 million miles, roughly the equivalent of 291 round trips to the Moon 🌕?
Join us live, Wednesday, Feb. 5, as we welcome her back from her epic voyage: go.nasa.gov/2GTpBql

#HubbleClassic For 16 years, Hubble has worked with @NASASpitzer to study the universe at different wavelengths of light, providing unique views like these of galaxy M81. Farewell, friend. It's been wonderful exploring with you. #SpitzerFinalVoyage

Although its planet-hunting mission has ended, our @NASAExoplanets Kepler Space Telescope's discoveries have not. Archival data from the spacecraft designed for tracking exoplanets recently surprised astronomers with a haunting discovery:

The Tarantula Nebula was one of the first targets studied by @NASAspitzer after its launch in 2003. Now that the infrared observatory is set to be retired on Jan. 30, scientists have generated a new view of the nebula from Spitzer data. 🕷️go.nasa.gov/36whWbL
ALT This image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope shows the Tarantula Nebula in two wavelengths of infrared light. The red regions indicate the presence of particularly hot gas, while the blue regions are interstellar dust that is similar in composition to ash from coal or wood-burning fires on Earth.
