Compare Webb’s look at NGC 6822 with its NIRCam instrument versus its MIRI instrument. NIRCam (left) peers through gas and dust, spotlighting countless stars. Meanwhile, MIRI (right) focuses on the galactic dust. Slide between the two views here: esawebb.org/images/comparisons… #JamesWebb
NGC 6822, a galactic neighbor captured by Webb, has unusually low metallicity, meaning it doesn’t have much in the way of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. This image combines Webb’s views in near and mid-infrared light: esawebb.org/images/potm2307a/ #JamesWebb
Two Exp 69 crew members completed robotics and grapple procedures in preparation for this week’s cargo and science delivery. Health investigations and spacesuit surveys were also conducted today. blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/20… #ISS
The Expedition 69 crew is gearing up for a cargo delivery to the International Space Station this week. Health investigations and spacesuit surveys were also conducted today.
Drew Feustel visited the orbital lab twice where he conducted six spacewalks. His first visit was a two-week mission during STS-134 in 2011. His second was a six-and-half-month mission during Expedition 55-56 in 2018. More... go.nasa.gov/44KqElL #ISS
NASA astronaut and geophysicist Drew Feustel, a veteran of three space missions and nine spacewalks, who also held key leadership positions within the Astronaut Office at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, is retiring from the agency after 23 ye…
LEDA 62867 is the smaller, leftmost galaxy seen in this #HubbleClassic image. It's almost certainly going to eventually be swallowed by the larger galaxy seen on the right, NGC 6786, and its powerful gravity: go.nasa.gov/3QBJDuH #Hubble
How is @ISS_Research helping us learn how to live in space—while making life better back on Earth? We'll be at #ISSRDC this week to talk about science on the @Space_Station.

Hubble’s Pillars of Creation continue to inspire on #WorldEmbroideryDay! 🪡 🧵
Fiber artist Melissa Cole has always been taken by the beauty and vastness of the universe. It’s what motivated their piece after Hubble’s iconic capturing of this star-forming region. #Hubble
And in the spirit of #InternationalFriendshipDay, just think how much broader of an understanding we get when Hubble is used alongside complementary observatories like @NASAWebb! go.nasa.gov/454rdGU #Hubble

Astronauts Dave Scott and Jim Irwin landed the Apollo 15 lunar module "Falcon" at the Hadley-Appenine site on the Moon #OTD in 1971. After landing, Scott performed the only stand-up EVA from the top hatch of the LM ever done.
Van Allen radiation belts. Put much skepticism into any human lunar landings. Won’t dispute any claims. Won’t rule out propaganda. Truth is serious. Deadly radiation belts that no one addresses, except NASA.
Paul Kessler, lead designer for @nasa's future lunar surface habitat, develops living quarters for future astronauts on the Moon.
Designing around the advantages and constraints of space travel are all aspects of his work at @NASA_Marshall. go.nasa.gov/3Qn996N #NASAArtemis #Artemis
Are Sun-like stars the best place to find livable worlds? Two rocket teams traveled to Australia for a better view of a pair of stars that may hold the answer. In Episode 5 of High Above Down Under, it’s finally time to launch. Follow the series: go.nasa.gov/3PHtenQ
There are likely billions of planets in our galaxy. With over 5,000 already confirmed, how do we know which ones might hold life? Two NASA sounding rockets a...
