The House approves a Senate-passed bill that would fund much of the DHS, ending the record 75-day shutdown of the federal agency.

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.

@astro_reid comments on Earth's beauty after noting that the days are blurring together for the Artemis II astronauts.

This view just hits different 🌍

@Astro_Christina and @astro_reid take a moment to look back at Earth as they continue deep into space toward the Moon.

[NASA @NASA]

These two images were taken by @astro_reid only minutes apart. The stark difference is the result of camera settings. In the first, a longer shutter speed let in much more light from Earth, while the shorter shutter speed in the second emphasizes our planet's nighttime glow.

[Aaron Gilchrist @nbcaaron]

I mean… just wow!

[NASA @NASA]

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

Mission specialists like @Astro_Christina train for all roles so they can jump in wherever they’re needed. Sometimes that means fixing vital machinery, like the spacecraft toilet.
