NASA Earth engagement report
@NASAEarth - 3.7M followers on X
Measured over 19 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 671 interactions against 3.7M followers, an engagement rate of 0.018%. Measured over 19 original posts, its engagement rate beats 55% of 3,739 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 56K times each, and 1.20% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.50% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 19 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video, 47% are part of a thread and 21% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.9K interactions, about 5.8x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
NASA Earth's engagement rate beats 55% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 62% 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.

At 0.018%, NASA Earth sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,261 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.08%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 16:00 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.

Jimothy runs this city. 🦝 This astronaut photograph, taken from the @Space_Station, shows Seattle, Washington. The iconic raccoon, nicknamed Jimothy, has been spotted in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood (top middle in this image). https://t.co/nJWO0yzJKk

El Niño just arrived in June 2026, but one of its effects on ocean ecosystems is already visible: lower chlorophyll. This green pigment is found in phytoplankton, which form the base of the marine food web. https://t.co/tFXUOOpgvW

Are you ready for a solar eclipse tomorrow? Greenland, Iceland, northern Russia, Spain, and part of Portugal will see a total solar eclipse. The red strip in this map indicates totality. Wherever you are, watch live with NASA at 1:15 pm EDT on Aug. 12: https://t.co/kPXiHY4nnE https://t.co/eB0JaooB1x

On Aug. 12, a total solar eclipse will cross Greenland, Iceland, and Spain — and NASA science will be there! ☀️🌑🔭 We're flying high-altitude jets and launching scientific balloons to study the Sun and the eclipse's effects on us: https://t.co/zPn8UavJ3m 📸: NASA/Ernie Wright https://t.co/wVJzVGJ3Ao

A solar eclipse will be visible in much of the Northern Hemisphere today! A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes in front of the Sun. Those in the path of totality will see something like the left photo; others may see a partial solar eclipse like the right photo. https://t.co/lqfBN7dLp5

NISAR is turning one! 🎉 It’s been 365 days since the satellite launched from India to scan nearly all of Earth’s land and ice surfaces, and measure changes down to fractions of an inch. https://t.co/Fg8L2Au3rE

A series of heat waves broke records and is taking a toll in Europe this summer. This animation shows the daily max surface air temperature across Western Europe from May 1 to Aug. 19, 2026 using the @NASAGoddard GEOS model. https://t.co/HRvJ05kPLI https://t.co/4m6YBNuX4y

A heat dome caused soaring temperatures in the U.S. last weekend, breaking records in Montana, Wyoming & Utah. Heat domes put the brakes on convection and suppress clouds and precipitation. This allows more sunlight to reach Earth’s surface making it even hotter. https://t.co/nTMQlyj7Nj

☀️ A never-ending midnight sun (84 days) From spring to summer, the area around Utqiaġvik, Alaska transforms from a frozen tundra to a mosaic of ponds during its 84 days without a sunset. Winter brings the opposite extreme when the sun disappears for weeks at a time. https://t.co/vFXt0bGt6H

- What is NASA Earth's engagement rate on X?
- NASA Earth (@NASAEarth) has an engagement rate of 0.018%, based on the median interactions across 19 original posts from the last 30 days against 3,723,134 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.018%, NASA Earth sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,261 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 @NASAEarth have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 55% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 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 @NASAEarth post?
- Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.3 posts per day across the measured window.
