This is probably one of the coolest images I’ve ever processed! This is Jupiter’s moon, Europa. As the Juno spacecraft orbits Jupiter, it can sometimes point its camera away from the planet itself. Here’s the catch, Jupiter is millions of miles from Earth and it takes power to transmit data. Therefore, Juno transmits barebones images and data. It’s up to us here on Earth to use computers to piece the data together and process the images. #nasa #juno #jupiter #space #solarsystemambassador #europa https://www.instagram.com/p/CdUh1l-OTAH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Fun iPhone capture this evening... Orion The Hunter, Taurus The Bull, The Planet Mars, The International Space Station, and The Pleiades.

We use filters and adjustments to bring out details in the images Perseverance sends us from Mars. These adjustments help scientists on Earth learn more about our planetary neighbor. #nasajpl #perseverance #stem #marsrover #solarsystemambassador . . jmbrackett.com https://www.instagram.com/p/CL8QvzSjhYR/?igshid=1e5frwtksyn6e

I was honored to be selected as a judge for this contest. A young man named Alexander Mather from Virginia chose the name “Perseverance” and wrote the winning essay. Perseverance is scheduled to launch to Mars this July. @nasa @nasajpl #nasa #mars #marsrover #space #perseverance #mars2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CBS-LPVH6tj/?igshid=1pzag6xydhku4
It’s gonna be a long night! I’m super excited to be at @kennedyspacecenter for the Artemis 1 Launch! The launch is scheduled for 8:33am local. There will be a two hour window. If it doesn’t launch tomorrow, the next window is September 2, 2022. . . . . . #explorepage #artemis #artemisgeneration #stem #nasasls #SLS #orion #wearegoing #nasaexploration #solarsystemambassadors (at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch09ZFquI_l/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Had fun asking NASA trivia questions and giving out stickers at DragonCon today! . . . . . #explorepage #nasa #dragoncon #dragoncon2022 #solarsystemambassador #solarsystemambassadors #nasahistory @dragoncon (at Dragon Con) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiEbPpSuZoX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Super stoked! Found out earlier this week I’m now a part of the NASA Airborne Science Program. This opens up even more opportunities for me!
1) Check weather conditions for a town in New Mexico. 2) Remotely access a telescope in New Mexico. 3) Select target and parameters (Andromeda Galaxy, 60 second exposure...) 4) Wait until next morning to see results. 5) Open email to see A FREAKIN’ PLANE OR SATELLITE HAS JACKED UP YOUR OTHERWISE GORGEOUS IMAGE!😳🤬🤬 https://www.instagram.com/p/B95s_87HE6e/?igshid=1nodpm0ocwj3i
As @kuiperkat said, all the cool kids are doing it. #tothemoonandback https://www.instagram.com/p/CMBSVo9j58l/?igshid=1r2ifm8ptjqss

I host public outreach events about the science and research taking place everyday on the International Space Station. A favorite event of mine is called "Story Time From Space", where astronauts onboard the ISS read children's stories featuring space science and STEM topics. (Opinions are my own.)
