🧬USRA's Dr. Laura Rodriguez searches for life...

✨ USRA is honored to recognize General Lyles’ lifetime of achievement and the lasting impact he has had on the Air & Space Forces and the broader national security community. newsroom.usra.edu/general-le…

🏈🏈 🌑 NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera team recently discovered a new crater on the Moon that is twice the length of an American football field. newsroom.usra.edu/nasas-luna…

LPI has 50+ years of space science leadership. It’s also part of USRA, which has 124+ member research universities. That’s the powerful network behind every partnership LPI builds with commercial space companies taking part in the Artemis generation. usra.edu/about-usra/universi…

LPI's Summer Internship Program is wrapping up — another cohort of future planetary scientists trained alongside NASA-affiliated researchers. What advice would you give a student just starting a science career? #STEM #ArtemisGeneration #USRA youtu.be/wgd_YATW8IY?si=erzM…

USRA's Dr. David Kring joined "This Week in Space" to break down the science behind NASA's Artemis program — a good watch for anyone following the return to the Moon. youtube.com/watch?v=oDSTF3Cr…

LPI's David Kring helped link Mexico's Chicxulub crater to the dinosaur extinction, then developed a theory that impacts like it may have helped start life on Earth. He also trained Artemis II's crew before launch. #MeetTheScientist #ArtemisII

Earlier this year, Artemis II carried four astronauts around the far side of the Moon and back — the farthest humans have ever traveled from Earth. LPI's own David Kring personally trained the crew. Guess how — full story tomorrow. #ArtemisII 📸credit: NASA

Did you know planning conferences isn't just a side skill at LPI? Our certified team runs everything from 10-person workshops to 2,000-person conferences, live, virtual or hybrid. Got a meeting to plan? DM us — we'll take it from there. #EventPlanning #PlanetaryScience

Internships aren't the only way LPI builds tomorrow's planetary scientists. ENComPSS workshops and postdoc positions — many jointly supervised with NASA — do the same at every career stage. Which career stage do you think needs more support right now? #PlanetaryScience #LPI #USRA

☄️Perseid meteor shower recap: this year's new moon meant some of the darkest skies in years for viewing. Each streak is debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle burning up in Earth's atmosphere. Did you catch it? #Perseids2026 #LPI #USRA

☀️A total solar eclipse crosses Greenland, Iceland and northern Spain today -- the first visible from mainland Europe since 1999. We won't be able to see if from LPI in Houston, but how will you be following along? #SolarEclipse2026 #PlanetaryScience nasa.gov/live

LPI's Summer Internship Program has the next generation of planetary scientists in the building -- working alongside NASA-affiliated researchers on real research questions. Would you have wanted a summer like this? #STEM #LPI #ArtemisGeneration

What's the most surprising planetary science discovery you've heard about lately? New findings like that debut every year at LPSC, the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference — scientists from 37+ countries, 50+ years running. #LPSC #USRA #PlanetaryScience

For 50 years, LPI's Summer Internship Program has trained the scientists, engineers and explorers of tomorrow. Yesterday, approximately 70 interns, alumni and mentors marked that milestone in Houston. Here's to the next 50 years of discovery. #PlanetaryScience #STEM

Need planetary science expertise for a few weeks — or a few years? LPI's visiting scientist program puts resident experts on the Moon, Mars and beyond directly to work with outside partners. #PlanetaryScience #LPI #USRA
