NASA and Its Twitter Accounts are Back! Read Their Welcome Back Tweets Right Here
We've been so Twitter lonely without you, NASA.
The government shutdown has ended! That’s great news for a lot of reasons, but one of the things we’re most excited about is the return of all the NASA Twitter accounts to our feed. We’ve pulled together a few of the welcome back Tweets from some of the many, many NASA accounts.
The main @NASA account put up its first tweet in weeks early this morning:
We’re back and in the process of turning things back on! http://t.co/IpvHUzr4tm and #NASA TV will be up as soon as possible!

They even thanked us all for using #ThingsNASAMightTweet and updated the hashtag:
Thanks to the 5+ mil. of you who follow us & those who filled in w/ #ThingsNASAMightTweet while we were out. Now it’s #ThingsNASACanTweet.

And as of an hour ago they’re back to sharing space news. This time with update on the comet ISON:

Welcome back, NASA Twitter accounts. We’ve missed you. A bunch. Go do some science!

- @SarcasticRover did a pretty job of tweeting during the shutdown
- The shutdown didn’t stop the NASA Juno Mission
- Juno used “gravity assist” a concept that could literally save the planet from the Sun exploding
