NASA Selects Axiom Space for Third Private Astronaut Station Mission
NASA and Axiom Space have signed a mission order for the third private astronaut mission to the International Space Station, targeted to launch no earlier than November 2023 from the agency’s NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.Roxana Bardan (NASA)
.@Axiom_Space revealed a spacesuit prototype that our @NASA_Astronauts plan to wear near the Moon’s South Pole on @nasa’s #Artemis III mission.

The artist who walked on another world!
On his birthday, we remember astronaut and artist Alan Bean! Bean walked on the Moon for Apollo 12, commanded the Skylab 3 crew 50 years ago in 1973, and after retiring from NASA, devoted his time to painting his spaceflight memories.

Cosmic blooms! 🌸
These flower-like images from Hubble and @NASAWebb show the dying star Wolf-Rayet 124 as it casts off outer layers of material.
Wolf-Rayet stars are among the most luminous, massive, and briefly detectable stars known.
#Hubble
Hubble's view features observations taken in the visible light spectrum, which is what our human eyes can detect.
At a distance of 15,000 light-years, this star has the mass of 30 Suns... and has already shed 10 Suns' worth of material! go.nasa.gov/3Z4kZ6x
#Hubble
A Hubble Cosmic Couple
Here we see the spectacular cosmic pairing of the star Hen 2-427 — more commonly known as WR 124 — and the nebula M1-67 which surrounds it.NASA
Webb's new view shows the same object in infrared, which is ideal for studying cosmic dust – and WR 124 is producing a lot of dust!
With this new data, astronomers can explore questions of cosmic dust production in environments like WR 124. go.nasa.gov/3ZQqo1W
