These weeks in May & June are droning on 😉. Good times at school finishing up our annual drone build/fly project in 10th grade Aerospace Technology class in DHS’s Aerospace Engineering & Aviation Tech prgm @DuValAerospace @DuValHS20706 @PrincipalDuval @PGCPSSTEM @PGCPSSpecialty

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is in final preparations for an early September launch, eight months AHEAD of schedule and UNDER budget.

This milestone is the result of more than a decade of dedication and millions of hours of work by NASA and our industry partners. Their commitment is what’s making this moment possible and helping drive Gold Standard Science.

Roman will help answer some of the biggest questions in science, investigating dark matter, dark energy, and the structure of the universe. Its images will be so large and detailed, there isn’t a screen in existence big enough to display them.

This is just the beginning.

Madden Orlovsky had a heartfelt message for his family and friends in honor of World Autism Awareness Day 🥹

This was a special moment for all of us at ESPN. Thanks, Madden and @danorlovsky7 ❤️

Allow yourself to be amazed, despite all the negativity and strife in the world around us, and acknowledge that, today, NASA is launching 4 humans to moon’s orbit for the first time in 53 years! https://t.co/S1kGjLRqwX

@closedsundaypod @PatSurtainll @ArnoldTerrion @jasrifootball @MileHighReport @DNVR_Sports @DNVR_Broncos I am no football expert, but I loved this segment hearing how professionals used their talents/gifts and maximized their value by committing to the process of being the best. I’ll say it again, I loved watching this! Thanks Pat and Champ! Go Broncos forever!

@BadNewsBroncos Not much different, but I did like Javonte, just seemed like that knee injury really did him in, didn’t seem like the same player after that, bummer cuz man I loved watching him break all those tackle his rookie season!

[Michael Orcutt @MikeOtwin]

@VicLombardi Bummer! As a 30+ yr USMNT fan, wish there was widespread national support for this team. I am so grateful for everything the USWNT and MLS has done for soccer in this country in my lifetime, but just doesn’t seem like the support I described will happen anytime soon 🫤

The meteorologist in me just loves this!

[Nichole “Vapor” Ayers @Astro_Ayers]

Just. Wow. As we went over Mexico and the U.S. this morning, I caught this sprite.

Sprites are TLEs or Transient Luminous Events, that happen above the clouds and are triggered by intense electrical activity in the thunderstorms below. We have a great view above the clouds, so scientists can use these types of pictures to better understand the formation, characteristics, and relationship of TLEs to thunderstorms.

[Michael Orcutt @MikeOtwin]

@Astro_Ayers That picture is frickin’ awesome! 👏
