Bring a bit of the cosmos into your space

@NASARoman is set to investigate some of the biggest questions in astrophysics, from how the universe evolved to how common planets are beyond our solar system.

Celebrate its upcoming launch by bringing Roman into your own space: https://t.co/L7FR2gLeMU

Tomorrow, NASA will launch its new Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.

But who is it named for? Nancy Grace Roman was NASA's first Chief of Astronomy and was known as the "Mother of the Hubble Space Telescope." Learn more on the blog: https://t.co/hvF8QQ3WT5

Congrats to our 🎱 classmates @Astro_Christina and @AstroVicGlover on their Congressional Space Medals of Honor! We are so proud to call you our teammates, but moreso our friends. Very well deserved! 🌕 🚀

[Dava Newman @DavaExplorer]

In case you slept in today - Go @NASARoman ! Congrats to all on a magnificent launch. Now she’s traveling 1 million miles to L2 to give @JWSTObservation some company and Astronomy Power to invest the universe’s dark energy, exoplanets and more. Do the hard things! Under budget!

It's a great day to be a space fan! @NASARoman lifted off on its journey of discovery at 7:26am ET (1126 UTC) from @NASAKennedy.

Star trails from the ISS! Lots of cool physics to see in these. Stars moving as thin lines in the direction of our orbital path but forming arcs to the left of our velocity vector. Lightning flashes making purple spots into the time history. City lights streak by. A faint red glow is seen as part of our upper atmosphere. Surreal!

You poured your heart and soul into this city 🍀

Thank you for everything, Jaylen

Washington DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York (and more) seen at night from @Space_Station. Synchronized photo with @BabakTafreshi at the Marine Corps Memorial in Arlington when I was overhead. This is from our From Above and Below project fitting for the USA 250th celebrations this 4th of July.

Day 139, orbit 2155 — After the pictures (available in HD on my Flickr account), I'm so happy to finally share the timelapse of the most spectacular aurora of the εpsilon mission so far!

🤩 Watching this glowing green ribbon shimmer and dance, it's easy to lose yourself completely in the magic of the moment. Turn the sound on for the full experience – the music was carefully chosen to bring you as close as possible to what I felt watching this from space 💚.

This is the USA. This is what democracy looks like, community, respect, dignity, and integrity. #WeAreAmerica250 Week Five in 250 to 250 . Thanks HCR for telling our shared history (herstory). https://t.co/AiAjoZCHzM

[Lunar Outpost @LunarOutpostInc]

Pegasus is going to the Moon!

Built for NASA's LTVS contract, Pegasus provides Artemis Astronauts with reliable, safe, and highly achievable mobility on the Moon in 2028.

Capable of operating manually or autonomously, this next generation LTV can traverse 900+ kilometers of rugged lunar terrain at speeds up to 15 KPH. Pegasus leverages the resiliency of our spaceflight-proven rover technologies, enabling it to operate for at least one year and through the lunar night.

Pegasus is the first step in laying the groundwork for a Moon Base.

Day 106, orbit 1644 — This timelapse shows the approach and docking of the @SpaceX CRS‑34 🛰 resupply mission on 17 May. Isn’t it amazing to think that this docking manoeuvre takes place while flying at 28,000 km/h around the Earth?

The blurred dot in the middle of the picture is actually a micrometeoroid impact on the Cupola window… No worries, it’s been there for a long time !

This weekend, look up for a view you only get once in a “blue Moon”! 🌕

The second full Moon in a calendar month is sometimes called a "blue Moon" (which has nothing to do with its color, FWIW).

50 years at MIT. One final hour.

A professor spent half a century teaching. Knowing the end was near, he distilled everything into a single lecture.

His last gift to the world.

He passed away 5 months later.

This is his final hour.

Watch it this week. Seriously.

[Dava Newman @DavaExplorer]

May the 4th and everyday be with you! #STEAMD. The next US President, famous actor, astronaut, public school teacher, change maker will walk through those doors on onward to inspire us all. Just like @BarackObama @MarkHamill @NASA

May the Fourth be with YOU, from the Obama Presidential Center.
