A typical post picks up 1.3K interactions against 1.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.104%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 74% of 3,758 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 53K times each, and 2.35% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.42% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.2 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video, 13% are part of a thread and 50% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 12K interactions, about 9.3x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #hwhap, #worldphotographyday.

Compared with accounts its own size

NASA Artemis's engagement rate beats 74% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 73% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.104%, NASA Artemis sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,378 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.08% to 0.432%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,378 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 107,364 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 17:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

    Look up tonight. The Moon will pass through Earth's shadow during a deep partial lunar eclipse visible from much of North and South America and parts of Europe and Africa. As the eclipse deepens, the Moon will appear tinged with shades of red and copper. https://t.co/dicZoGxbiZ

    🌕 Happy International Moon Day! On this day in 1969, Neil Armstrong took humanity's first steps on the Moon. Today, through the Artemis program, we're building on that legacy. Together, we're shaping the future of deep space exploration, one mission at a time. https://t.co/nV3Itask9w

    In early April 2026, the Artemis II crew became the first to travel beyond the Moon in more than 50 years and traveled farther in space than humans have ever before. For their achievements, each was awarded with the Congressional Space Medal of Honor today. Congratulations! https://t.co/jBYyXTe1EL

What is NASA Artemis's engagement rate on X?
NASA Artemis (@NASAArtemis) has an engagement rate of 0.104%, based on the median interactions across 8 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,206,980 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.104%, NASA Artemis sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,378 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @NASAArtemis have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 74% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @NASAArtemis post?
Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.23 posts per day across the measured window.
