☀️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

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
