As someone who personally uses South Korean sunscreen and can’t go to the pool in this heat for fear of turning into a tomato, I’m extremely happy to see this bill move forward. ☀️🍅
Did you know that the FDA hasn’t approved a new sunscreen active ingredient since 1999? My bipartisan bill to fix that just passed out of committee – because you shouldn’t have to go all the way to South Korea to get the best sunscreen!

Trump’s budget jeopardizes America’s foothold in space while our adversaries soar ahead. If we let others take the lead, we’ll wake up in a world playing by their rules. Read my @nytimes op-ed: nytimes.com/2025/06/28/opini…

Rise and shine! Firefly’s #BlueGhost lander captured its first sunrise on the Moon, marking the beginning of the lunar day and the start of surface operations in its new home. Our #GhostRiders have already begun operating many of the 10 @NASA payloads aboard the lander and will continue operations over the next two weeks and into the lunar night. #BGM1

Truly incredible image. Much like Carl Sagan’s pale blue dot, it reminds us that we are all on this Earth together. Plus, the Moon! Congrats to @fireflyspace, @NASA, and all who worked to make this moment a reality. I hope you get some sleep today ☺️ #BGM1
Blue Ghost’s shadow seen on the Moon’s surface! We’ll continue to share images and updates throughout our surface operations. #BGM1

Eight months ago, astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore embarked on what was supposed to be an 8-day mission aboard the International Space Station. Williams tells John Dickerson, “I don't feel abandoned,” as NASA finalizes plans to bring them back to Earth.

Amazed every time I look at my phone — and not because of what’s inside 😂 Thanks @astro_Pettit for the new wallpaper!

One photo with: Milkyway, Zodical light, @Starlink satellites as streaks, stars as pin points, atmosphere on edge showing OH emission as burned umber (my favorite Crayon color), soon to rise sun, and cities at night as streaks. Taken two days ago from Dragon Crew 9 vehicle port window.

Reaching for the stars✨ Moving the 212-foot core stage for #Artemis II is no easy feat! Recently, teams with @NASAGroundSys at @NASAKennedy vertically positioned it in High Bay 2, giving technicians 360-degree access. Learn more >> go.nasa.gov/4gGVPUm

What has NASA done for you lately? We've contributed more than $75 billion in economic output, supported over 300,000 jobs, and provided benefits to all 50 states (and the District of Columbia) in fiscal year 2023. Get the receipts: nasa.gov/value-of-nasa/

Congratulations to @SpaceX on its successful booster catch and fifth Starship flight test today! As we prepare to go back to the Moon under #Artemis, continued testing will prepare us for the bold missions that lie ahead -- including to the South Pole region of the Moon and then on to Mars.
Mechazilla has caught the Super Heavy booster!

The U.S. Southeast was severely affected by #Helene. Scientists with @nasagoddard’s Black marble project processed nighttime satellite images to help identify power outages. These images show Augusta, Georgia; western North Carolina was covered by clouds. go.nasa.gov/3Y7dle3
