Smoke from fires in Canada is shrouding the U.S. Midwest, causing hazy skies and hazardous air quality in Canada and across several U.S. states.

This map shows the density of black carbon particles—or soot—in the smoke, which can be hazardous for human health.
The data come from @nasagoddard’s GEOS-FP model.

This image shows the galaxy NGC 7292, which resides about 44 million light-years away.
NGC 7292 is irregular, meaning that it lacks the distinct spiral arms or elliptical shape that some galaxies have: go.nasa.gov/42EDDna

As I travel around #SamplingMars, I’m collecting little pieces of history – the history of our solar system. Each sample I collect has a story to tell. Hear what’s special about the pair we call “Hazeltop” and “Bearwallow.”

Was there ever life on Mars? 🔴
The samples @NASAPersevere is collecting as part of the #MarsSampleReturn campaign could hold the answer. See why one NASA scientist is especially excited about the samples taken from “Wildcat Ridge.”

Why is Venus so hot?
The planet’s thick CO2-filled atmosphere is great at trapping heat. This creates a runaway greenhouse effect that makes Venus roughly 700°F (389°C) hotter than it would be otherwise. @NASAJPL's Dr. Amy Hofmann gives us the details: go.nasa.gov/42FxR4v

Enceladus, Saturn's icy moon, is known for its geysers that erupt with water from a subsurface ocean.
Scientists have just detected phosphorus—an uncommon element that's a key building block for life—in the plumes that these geysers spray: go.nasa.gov/43FVtY1

Another spacewalk in the books! 👏
Today’s spacewalk concluded at 2:17pm ET (1817 UTC) and lasted 5 hours and 35 minutes. Steve Bowen and @Astro_Woody installed a new roll-out solar array and completed numerous additional tasks outside the @Space_Station.

"Houston, Skylab. I'd like you to be the first to know that the pilot is the proud father of a genuine flare." 🌟
Skylab's Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) had 8 telescopes for observing the Sun at different wavelengths. #Skylab50 1/3
#NASAhistory
With the ATM, the Skylab astronauts became the first people in history who could watch features of the invisible ultraviolet and X-ray Sun and see changes as they were occurring.
Still, capturing a solar flare with the ATM proved to be challenging. 2/3

#OTD in 1973, the Skylab 2 crew made their first observations of a solar flare, recording the long-awaited event with unprecedented detail! #Skylab50
