Cheesin’ our way into the week after a holiday weekend.

With a cheerful smile, Expedition 75 flight engineer Jack Hathaway transports the Advanced Space Experiment Processor‑4 (ADSEP‑4) to its new spot inside the Destiny laboratory module, preparing the unit for microgravity sample processing and powered investigations aboard the International Space Station.

Maybe just maybe we are seeing the arrival of something from the CME's that left the Sun. The disturbance started 5-6 hours ago so we should(possibly) start seeing something.

JUST IN — NASA / Science Advances: Perseverance found extensive macromolecular organic carbon in Jezero Crater river mudstones (Bright Angel, SHERLOC). Origin still unconfirmed.

This 'superbubble' in the Large Magellanic Cloud is over 200 light-years across—and it's helping astronomers study how stars are born. More from @NASAHubble: https://t.co/NvJuk0az2R

World leaders, ministers, astronauts and industry representatives will gather in Paris this week for the International Space Summit.

ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher will present a pathway for Europe's future in space exploration and invite leaders to reflect on the role Europe wants to play in the next era of space, from low Earth orbit and the Moon to Mars.

🛰️🌎 The ISS Cupola looks completely different from the outside.

Usually famous for its breathtaking views of Earth, the Cupola is also a carefully engineered shield against the harsh orbital environment.

In this rare perspective, astronaut Alexander Gerst appears beside the protective window covers that safeguard the delicate panes when they aren’t in use.

From inside: Earth looks incredible.
From outside: you see the engineering that makes that view possible.

Every beautiful window in space hides a story of survival. ✨

NASA releases new image of planet Jupiter captured by James Webb Space Telescope, the most powerful telescope ever built.

[The SETI Institute @SETIInstitute]

🌎 What would Earth look like from far enough away?

Not a world of oceans and continents. A single point of light.

That's all any telescope will see when it finds a living planet around another star — and the reference for reading that light, for knowing what it actually means, doesn't exist yet.

MARBLE is how we build it. The SETI Institute's first space observatory will study Earth from lunar orbit, measuring our own planet the way astronomers will one day measure someone else's.

Today, we launch the campaign to make it real.

Give $100 or more, and your name will be laser-etched onto a film carried aboard the spacecraft. All gifts are matched up to $50,000 through September 30.

Are we alone? Let's go find out.

Many people still don’t realize how insane this is.

The Super Heavy booster that SpaceX caught after Starship Flight 7 was used again on Flight 9.

SpaceX literally caught a skyscraper-sized rocket with a launch tower...

Then sent it back to space.

This is what rapid rocket reuse looks like. 🚀

Spacewalk. What an incredible view! You ladies @Soph_astro and @Astro_Jessica are heroes at the #ISS!

Falcon 9 first stage booster landing during SpaceX’s 105th Falcon launch of 2026. On September 6, B1088 completed its 19th flight after lofting 27 Starlink satellites from SLC-4E at Vandenberg and landed on Of Course I Still Love You in the Pacific.
