Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.1K interactions against 2.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.052%. Measured over 25 original posts, its engagement rate beats 75% of 3,847 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 66K times each, and 1.67% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.12% 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 67% of days. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 25 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 48% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 147K interactions, about 133x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Chris Hadfield's engagement rate beats 75% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,847 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 71% 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 12:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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.

I don’t think people realize how absurd this is. Scottish runner Josh Kerr just broke the mile world record in 3:42.66, an average speed of 16.2 mph. Most people couldn’t even briefly reach that speed, let alone sustain it for an entire mile. https://t.co/oqJDxWn7bQ

The largest nuclear bomb in outer space exploded 64 yrs ago today. Starfish Prime was a 1.4 megaton thermonuclear warhead, detonated at the altitude the Space Station now orbits. It created man-made radiation belts that wrecked many satellites & lasted 5+ years. A year after the test the USA & USSR signed the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, leading to the global 1967 Outer Space Treaty. https://t.co/d5XO4Vl0g1

Amazing to see how well this spaceship survived. First-ever soft splashdown that left Starship intact & floating, allowing close-up inspection of the heat shield tiles after the wicked heat of reentry. Onwards to catch it next time - congrats to the whole team @SpaceX ! https://t.co/naloK9WAQu

Today, I am sharing a significant next step in my journey. This September, after 32 years of military service and 17 years as a Canadian Space Agency astronaut—culminating in the incredible privilege of flying around the Moon on Artemis II—I will be transitioning from my full-time role at the CSA. This is far from a departure. My commitment to seeing Canada thrive remains absolute. To ensure continuity in this mission, the Royal Canadian Air Force is enabling my transition into a Reservist role. This unique position is a deliberate launchpad designed to leave the door open for creative, ongoing ways to support and enable the vital work happening in Canada with respect to space, and I’m excited for the new challenges it will bring. Our future depends on a fierce continuation of Canadian innovation and exploration in space. The technological breakthroughs and economic benefits born from this sector are vital for our country and the world, and I am as determined as ever to push that work forward. To the Canadian Armed Forces, the CSA, NASA, our international partners, and my family: thank you. And to all Canadians: thank you for believing in what our country can achieve when we aim high. The mission continues. 🇨🇦

Imagine being on a spacewalk experiencing this. The upper tendrils of Earth's aurora reach high enough that we fly right through them. I felt so small, floating between our planet & the universe, surrounded by this, as we start to permanently leave home. Filmed by @Soph_astro of @esa through the windows of the International Space Station last week.

While millions watch today’s solar eclipse from Earth, we wanted to share a unique view of the same phenomenon from space. 🌑🌍 From orbit, you don’t see the eclipse - you see its shadow sweeping across our planet. Captured by Sen’s 4K cameras on 8 April 2024. https://t.co/ysbTaDvxJ3

China is landing at the Moon's south pole, launching tomorrow. The yellow star at the bottom is their intended site, 23 miles from the pole. The top image is where the US is targeting to land, fairly soon. Lots of overlap. Power and water are key. The hilltops have near-permanent sunshine for power. The black craters are always in shadow, likely with frozen water in them. An important moment in history as we start to settle the Moon. It's the 8th continent, bigger than Africa. How we choose to cooperate matters. @openlunar

- What is Chris Hadfield's engagement rate on X?
- Chris Hadfield (@Cmdr_Hadfield) has an engagement rate of 0.052%, based on the median interactions across 25 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,129,271 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.052%, Chris Hadfield sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,320 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 @Cmdr_Hadfield have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 75% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,847 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 @Cmdr_Hadfield post?
- Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.27 posts per day across the measured window.
