A typical post picks up 736 interactions against 835K followers, an engagement rate of 0.088%. Measured over 34 original posts, its engagement rate beats 71% of 3,791 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 22K times each, and 3.38% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.61% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 34 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 79% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 4.6K interactions, about 6.3x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #nasamarshall, #dyk, #flightspark.

Compared with accounts its own size

NASA Marshall's engagement rate beats 71% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,791 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 83% 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 0.088%, NASA Marshall sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.08% to 0.433%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,654 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,977 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 15:00 UTC, and Thursday 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.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 15:00 UTC.

    A trip down memory lane ☺️ @NASAWebb takes us 4.4 billion years in the past with this image of a young galaxy cluster, MACS J0553.4-3342. The cluster is composed of two actively merging sub-clusters, easily identifiable as the two brightest points in the center of this scene with the largest glowing halos around them.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 736 interactions against 835K followers, an engagement rate of 0.088%. Measured over 34 original posts, its engagement rate beats 71% of 3,791 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 22K times each, and 3.38% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.61% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 34 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 79% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 4.6K interactions, about 6.3x its own typical post.

What is NASA Marshall's engagement rate on X?
NASA Marshall (@NASA_Marshall) has an engagement rate of 0.088%, based on the median interactions across 34 original posts from the last 30 days against 834,508 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.088%, NASA Marshall sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,654 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 @NASA_Marshall have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 71% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,791 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 @NASA_Marshall post?
Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.53 posts per day across the measured window.
