Dr. Trena Ferrell keeps your friendly neighborhood space flight center friendly! 👋 She blends science and education to connect students, visitors, and citizen scientists with Goddard programs and resources as education & public outreach lead for NASA's Earth Science Division. Trena came to Goddard in 2005, and today coordinates events and workshops across the country.

"I work with students from kindergarten through college. I want them to reach for the stars and realize that they can be scientists or engineers who work at NASA," she said.

A lake frequented by dinosaurs turned fertile farmland now often holds something else—air pollution and haze. Why? 🧵

This image of the haze collected in Sichuan Basin in southwestern China was captured by NASA’s Terra satellite.

For #ValentinesDay2020, see which solar system objects you would like to know better: solarsystem.nasa.gov The center of our solar system, the Sun is looking for someone to light up its life. Interests:

Spin classes - It spins once every 27 days.
Warm climates - The Sun’s core is 27 million degrees F.
Stargazing - It’s a star classified as a “yellow dwarf.”

♥️♥️♥️🌞

Happy Birthday #NASA. 60 has never looked better!🎉🎂

From the beginning, Goddard has worked to support our agency’s work of uncovering the universe 🌃.

Here are a few ways Goddard has helped along the way. #NASA60th It started with Dr. Robert Goddard! In 1926, he successfully tested the first rocket using liquid fuel 🚀🚀. Today he’s known as the “Father of Modern Rocketry.” #NASA60th

THREAD: Need a break from #BlackFriday, digging @NASA’s #BlackHoleFriday? Perfect, enjoy our Black Hole 101! ☄️ First the basics. A black hole is a region in space where the pulling force of gravity is so strong that light is not able to escape. Because of this, black holes are invisible. Only telescopes with special instruments can help find them.

Lasers. In. Space.
NASA’s got ‘em! Next year we launch a satellite with lasers, @NASA_ICESat2, to measure Earth’s changing ice #NASASocial To measure the height of ice, ICESat-2’s instrument ATLAS will send laser light to Earth, and time how long it takes to get back
