Just held another incredible stargazing event in #TucsonArizona with the largest mobile telescopes in town! Had the honor to show over 50 people their first comet ever through our 20in dob. Our advanced live-imaging scope was getting great pics on the 55in tv also! #stargazing

A giant leap to Mars! 🚀

NASA recently completed testing of a lithium-fed electromagnetic thruster, reaching 5x more power than today's electric propulsion systems. Paired with a nuclear power source, this tech could slash travel time to Mars!

Don does it again... incredible image of our Milkyway galaxy from the ISS!!!

[Don Pettit @astro_Pettit]

I finally have all 1.2 million raw image files from my latest mission to ISS! Here is a sample of one of my favorite Milky Way photos, taken from the Cupola with Nikon Z9, Arri Zeiss 15mm lens, T1.8 with custom sidereal drive that cancelled out star motion relative to our orbit.

@astro_Pettit Sheesh! This must be on our wall some day! Hands down top 5 milkyway images in history. We can pick out so many deep space objects in that beautiful nebulae. Clap clap clap!

Incredible work. We're in Tucson. If you ever want to barrow one of our telescopes, especially to take to South Padre, let us know. We have some pretty good optics, feom 250mm - 3000mm, and motorized mounts galore. Keep up the incredible cinematography!

Starship Flight Test 13 filmed at 600fps. My 3rd attempt at this shot after 2 failures. Sometimes I feel like I’m also in the testing phase, lol.
