Thank you to the first responders who continue to support LA. JPL was thankfully untouched by the Eaton fire, though the community faces a long road to recovery.

To date, over 200 JPL employees lost their homes - and many more remain displaced.

On this day in 1968: the iconic Earthrise image was taken on Apollo 8 by Bill Anders, with astronauts Anders, Frank Borman, and Jim Lovell on board. Said Lovell: “The vast loneliness is awe-inspiring, and it makes you realize just what you have back there on Earth.”
