There is a lot going on right now on the @Space_Station, but fortunately we are all safe and witnessed a spectacular southern aurora show yesterday thanks to a recent solar event.
😲After 9 years… and 3 BILLION miles… this is what we found 😳
For decades, Pluto was just a blurry dot in the sky.
But everything changed when NASA’s spacecraft finally arrived…
🚀 After an incredible journey across the Solar System,
we got our first close-up look at Pluto’s frozen world ❄️
🏔️ Massive ice mountains
🌌 Vast frozen plains
🌫️ A thin, mysterious atmosphere
This isn’t just a rock…
it’s a complex, active world at the edge of our Solar System.
✨ And the craziest part?
This data was sent back from billions of miles away…
taking hours just to reach Earth.
From a tiny dot… to a breathtaking world.
That’s the power of space exploration 🚀

El streamer Auron Play fue a Madrid a ver a Bad Bunny y se acaba encontrando al Papa, saludando en su papamóvil a pocos metros.
“Esto es increíble, vengo a ver a Bad Bunny y veo al Papa… viva el Papa.” ✝️
This spiral galaxy, recently observed by @NASAHubble, is in the middle of a cosmic journey that will take it hundreds of millions of years. Learn more: https://t.co/ebWeGyWicp
60 years ago today, NASA took a pivotal step toward mastering spacewalking. After Ed White’s groundbreaking spacewalk in 1965, NASA's next attempt pushed the limits of human endurance.
On June 5, 1966, Gene Cernan undertook America’s ambitious second spacewalk, battling a stiff suit, limited maneuverability, and extreme heat. Though the EVA was cut short, the challenges he faced helped shape the future of spacewalk design and safety.
Well, well, look who's back! After several months of being hidden in the glare of the Sun, Mars is once again visible in the sky. But only for early risers – the planet appears as a small, reddish "star" low on the eastern horizon just before sunrise.
Some nights, the sky dances.
Real Northern Lights captured over Earth no filter, no edit, just pure cosmic magic painting the darkness.
Moments like this remind us how small we are… and how beautiful that feels.

Before Neil Armstrong could take his historic first steps on the Moon, NASA first had to master the techniques that would let an astronaut safely exit a spacecraft in space.
On June 3, 1965, Gemini IV pilot Ed White made that first step with the first American spacewalk.
