We've discovered fiery, metal-melting planets, and icy worlds far from stars. Weird? It's our wheelhouse. Everything we've found makes us want to know more. go.nasa.gov/3dflOU5

Exoplanets: Weird, Wondrous Worlds

There's a huge amount of variety among exoplanets – planets outside our solar system. What can we learn from all this weird, wondrous variety?

We arrived, we sampled, and now we say goodbye. On May 10, #OSIRISREx will fire its main thrusters and start its long journey back to Earth with more than 60 grams of material from asteroid Bennu on-board. #ToBennuAndBack Join us live as we depart Bennu: go.nasa.gov/3eoxjtT

OSIRIS-REx Departure from Bennu Trailer

NASA invites the public and the media to watch our first asteroid sample return mission leave Bennu and begin its cruise home on NASA TV and https://go.nasa.gov/2PZSolg at 4 p.m. EDT

Excelsior! The #MarsHelicopter completed its 1st one-way trip and 5th flight on Mars. It touched down at its new location, kicking off a new demo phase where we test this new tech and see how it can aid future missions on Mars and other worlds. go.nasa.gov/ingenuity

What are you doing on #PiDay (Sunday, 3/14)? It’s a chance to enjoy some delicious pie, sure, but also a good time to learn how we use math @NASA to explore places like Jupiter with our #JunoMission. 🥧🚀 'Pi in the Sky': go.nasa.gov/3td2ahF More: go.nasa.gov/piday

A quick-look mosaic my team pulled together of the belly pan, now on the surface of Mars. Up next is to check my sampling system now that its cover panel is off. More images: go.nasa.gov/3rGQx2o

I love rocks. Look at these right next to my wheel. Are they volcanic or sedimentary? What story do they tell? Can’t wait to find out. #CountdownToMars mars.nasa.gov/mars2020
