Join us Jan. 9 as @SpaceX’s #CRS26 undocks from the @Space_Station. Coverage starts at 4:45pm ET (2145 UTC) here and on go.nasa.gov/3iiZors.
Here's what the cargo craft is bringing back to Earth, including agriculture and radiation experiments: go.nasa.gov/3QjIiGD

We’re howling for the first full moon of 2023. 🐺
The first full moon of the year is known by many names, such as the “Wolf” Moon. Look to the night sky on Jan. 6 to spot our lunar companion, with the bright star Pollux keeping it company.

Heads up! @NOAASatellites' GOES-18, launched in March 2022, is now #GOESWest. Miles above Earth, it’ll observe the Western Hemisphere, helping weather forecasters, emergency managers, and all who want to know more about our changing planet.
