One of the most colorful of NASA's first astronauts, Pete Conrad, veteran of the Gemini 5, 11, and Apollo 12 missions, was also the commander of Skylab 2. In this photo taken 50 years ago today, he tries out the Skylab shower. #Skylab50

Photo taken just after Conrad collapsed to the floor due to an accidentally large blood draw.

Dr. Kerwin escaped the NASA facility and remains at large. Report all sightings, but do not approach.

Webb analyzed the atmosphere of an ultrahot gas giant and mapped its temperatures. Despite scorching heat (nearly 5000 F or 2700 C), WASP-18 b has small amounts of atmospheric water — precisely measured due to Webb's sensitivity: go.nasa.gov/3C0UuWq
