After flying by the most distant object ever explored, @NASANewHorizons beamed back the 1st pictures & science data from #UltimaThule. This data is helping us understand how planets form — both those in our own solar system & those orbiting other stars: https://t.co/cp8lE03Cl5
#DYK water can boil and freeze at the same time? 😮
This phenomenon is called the “triple point.” The triple point is the temperature and pressure at which the three phases of a pure substance (solid, liquid and vapor) can coexist in equilibrium #Physics#FunFacts#NRCMetrology
#inatweet: screen puts out vertical polarized white light. Eyes insensitive to pol. Sunglasses block most horiz pol. Some tape is birefringent and rotates pol based on tape thickness and light colour. Different colours rotate differently thru various random tape thicknesses.
Cue a jaw-drop! 😮 Behold, our beautiful planet Earth in all its natural splendor, captured from 250 miles above by @ESA astronaut @Astro_Luca who is currently living & working on the @Space_Station. View more photos taken from the vantage point of space: https://t.co/BIJQ06Vlar
☀️Solar wind “switchbacks”
🔬Never-before-seen tiny particle events
🧹 Possible dust-free zone
In August 2018, the #ParkerSolarProbe mission launched to space. Today, scientists have just announced their first discoveries from the @NASASun mission! More:

Bennu and the jets? We're not sure! An unexpected discovery by @OSIRISREx revealed asteroid Bennu is ejecting particles from its surface. ✨ The mission team found 3 possible causes: meteoroid impacts, thermal stress fracturing, and release of water vapor: https://t.co/JhHBHHfpXG
My favorite payload on the #ISS is the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer @AMSISS@AMS_02 delivered by space shuttle Endeavour. The AMS might have detected antimatter already!
Luca +Drew are upstairs using the Pistol Grip Tool [Space Drill!!!] to upgrade my favorite ISS experiment, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer 02.

I'm running a new instruction set! The star I use to establish my local coordinate system is Vega (α Lyrae), the brightest star in the constellation Lyra. CCS: END BASELINE SEQUENCE B185: BEGIN BASELINE SEQUENCE B186: LOCK STAR(03) (2019:323:024115:2T)
Over the last 20 years, the atmosphere above the Amazon rainforest has been drying out, leaving ecosystems vulnerable to fires and drought, and it's primarily the result of human activities.
Here's how we know and why it matters: https://t.co/g7CJxWvbeB
