Expedition 75 vibes. It was an honor and privilege to serve as Commander of the @Space_Station! After welcoming Crew-13 this week to mark the second part of Expedition 75, today I handed over the key to the @Space_Station to my friend and colleague Pyotr Dubrov. This ship is in the best of hands!

Room with a view. Check out my new digs as I camp out in Dragon until our departure. With Crew-13’s arrival we have a very full house on the @Space_Station. Luke is living in my previous crew quarters, and I’ve pitched a tent in Dragon.

Last week @Soph_astro, @astro_hathaway and I took turns imaging each other’s internal organs for the @CNES EchoFinder-2 experiment.  This experiment aims to use augmented reality and artificial intelligence to allow astronauts without medical or ultrasound expertise to perform scans without any support from Earth.  This type of technology could prove invaluable for remote medical monitoring scenarios both on Earth and for @NASAArtemis missions to the Moon and Mars.

Day 210, orbit 3255 — A few pictures from EVA-99! In some of them, you can really see just how small I am compared to the Station, which is roughly the size of a football field. And believe me, there were moments when I felt truly humbled in my spacesuit, orbiting 400 km above Earth.

A whole new world, volume up! That’s me on the tip of the @csa_asc Canadarm in last week’s spacewalk. The ground team dubbed it the Disney Land ride, given the long trajectory of motion from one worksite to the next. This IRL version of space mountain certainly delivered. At times I faced away from the @Space_Station, not able to see any of its parts, nor that of the arm. It felt as if I was simply levitating above the majestic blue gem we call planet Earth.

Madagascar. As a biologist, I’ve always been intrigued by its unique flora and fauna. Now, seeing it from the @Space_Station, I’ll add its colors and textures to the list. Certainly somewhere I’ll need to visit when I’m back on planet Earth. Enjoy the weekend Earth Art!

At 7:26am ET (1126 UTC) on Aug. 30, @NASARoman took to the skies en route to its new home 1 million miles away from Earth. It should reach its final destination in one month: https://t.co/GD5THXPBLn

We now have about 40 Interceptor projects under development across the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Panama, Guatemala, Honduras, the USA, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. Exciting times ahead!

We have spent centuries demystifying the heavens, deposing the deities, replacing omens with calculations. The gods were myths we invited to inhabit the sky. They were evicted by Kepler’s laws. In their stead, we intend a swarm of data centers, a pantheon of machine intelligences, actual reigning overlords

Even the simple act of drinking water is more fun in microgravity. Surface tension in action, science in every sip!

Note: This image does not accurately represent our technology and appears to be AI-generated. For context, our ocean system is U-shaped and moves forward slowly, guiding floating debris into a central retention zone; once this zone is full, the captured plastic is offloaded onto the vessel towing the system. We kindly ask everyone to avoid sharing misleading visuals, and we truly appreciate your support in helping us keep the information about our cleanup efforts accurate.

インターネットの歴史は30年ほどです。これだけの時間運用してきてわかったのは、古い情報はどんどん消えていくということです。デジタルだからずっとアーカイブされると皆が思い込んでいましたがウソでした。保管するのにコストがかかるのでどんどん捨てられてしまうのでした。
大学などの学術機関の使命は、時代を超えて知をストックし続けることに他ならないでしょうね。インターネットには「最新」しかないのだから。

A timelapse view from our @SpaceX Dragon of the spectacular southern aurora seen in yesterday’s post, a result of a recent solar event. As opposed to the previous aurora I’ve seen, this one danced and snaked its way directly below us, putting on quite a show. I am in awe of this ethereal and emotionally evocative phenomenon.

This photo illustrates three phenomena that surprised me when I arrived on board the @Space_Station. I didn’t realize before seeing it with my own eyes that the Earth’s atmosphere would be so visible in the night sky, seemingly even more obvious at nighttime than daytime, nor that it would be so colorful! These orange and green colors on the horizon are airglow, a faint emission of light caused by chemical reactions and interactions between UV radiation and gases in our atmosphere (unlike aurora, which is caused by solar wind particles interacting with Earth’s magnetic field, airglow is present everywhere, all of the time). I was also surprised to see how blue and well lit the Earth can be at night, when a bright Moon illuminates it (Moonglow!). This photo was taken on May 30, the day prior to the full Moon. I hope that this provides a bit more @NASAArtemis Moon Joy for all of us!

聞こえますか……登山者のみなさん…5月下旬になったら東北の山へハクサンイチゲを見に行くのです…日本百名山の鳥海山、蔵王、飯豊山、二百名山の焼石岳、朳差岳などがオススメです…いずれの場所でもハクサンイチゲの大群落が見られます…今年は雪が少ないので開花が例年より早い見込みです。

足摺海底館が今月で休業で再オープンも未定との事で急遽みてきた。稀に見る豪雨暴風のなかでもかなり人が来ていた印象。
風が強すぎて魚も流されてたのがなんか面白かった
