Star field showing M31, Andromeda and M33, the Pinwheel in Triangulum. The red is f-region atmospheric airglow coupled with some red and green aurora near the soon to rise sun with streaking city lights. Time exposure taken from Cupola using my homemade star tracker.
Things I love about this:
The contrast of colorful spacecraft above and gray world below
The smoothness of orbital flight
The exotic geology
The Moon reflecting off the spacecraft, varying with time
The sharply curved horizon of a smaller world
The blackness of space
Dragon spacecraft operations are underway as the next crew preps for return to Earth. Meanwhile, advanced space biology research continued on the station Wednesday. https://t.co/6M5pi1pHWD
The International Space Station flew over Hurricane Helene at 2:25 p.m. EDT Thursday, Sept. 26, 2024, as it approached the Gulf Coast of Florida packing winds in excess of 120 miles an hour.

WOW; I knew using modern batteries would make a difference, but even I didn't expect my Game Gear to last this long on one charge.
A pulsing sound from a speaker in Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft heard by NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore aboard the International Space Station has stopped. The feedback from the speaker was the result of an audio configuration between the space station and Starliner. The space station audio system is complex, allowing multiple spacecraft and modules to be interconnected, and it is common to experience noise and feedback. The crew is asked to contact mission control when they hear sounds originating in the comm system. The speaker feedback Wilmore reported has no technical impact to the crew, Starliner, or station operations, including Starliner’s uncrewed undocking from the station no earlier than Friday, Sept. 6.
NEW EPISODE! Better hardware doesn't necessarily make a better game. So let's look at some titles where the better version is on the weaker system, or systems.

Titan: a strange world with seas of methane and ethane. Scientists are using @NASAWebb to take a close look—and developing Dragonfly, a mission to send an octocopter to Saturn’s largest moon.

Everyone is freaking out over this, but there are many logical explanations. Although Starliner is *most* likely haunted, it could also be aliens, space whales, sophon interference, forever lost cosmonauts banging on the hatch begging to be let in, or simply the Babadook.
NASA and Boeing teams are "go" to proceed with undocking the uncrewed #Starliner from the @Space_Station on Friday, Sept. 6.
Undocking coverage is set to begin at 5:45pm ET (2145 UTC), with Starliner touching down at 12:03am (0403 UTC) on Sept. 7. More: https://t.co/rvPuZE14wx
In the vast expanse of the cosmos, humanity's journey has just begun.
As we conduct @ISS_Research and support the development of future space destinations, we're soliciting feedback to guide the next generation of human presence in low Earth orbit: https://t.co/XppY8hxs1x
The crew configured the Metal 3D printer and explored stem cell medicine today helping @NASA and its international partners plan self-sufficient missions farther away from Earth. More... https://t.co/U6Bfsi9lui
