.@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 spacesuit will give lunar explorers extra mobility, protection, & the latest technology. Discover more: go.nasa.gov/400qG6e

Now this awfully ugly #darkmode hype even reached #spacesuit #design - Scientifically total nonsense, but hey it looks sooo cool!
Or is this design just for the „dark side of the moon?“🤣 👩‍🚀 🙄 🌚 #Nasa


Hot off the press! 🗞️

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.

Dr. Jane Rigby is an astrophysicist, Webb’s Operations Project Scientist and Dr. Hutchison's fellowship mentor. She uses Webb and other telescopes to study how galaxies and the black holes at their centers evolve over time.

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



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

Days of rain from a passing tropical low have swollen rivers and lakes in Australia’s Northern Territory. In this false-color image taken March 10, 2023 by NASA’s Terra satellite, water appears light to dark blue. Vegetation is green and bare land is brown.
#NASAEarth


The surge of rain pushed rivers beyond their banks and forced evacuations from several communities.

For comparison, NASA’s Aqua satellite captured an image of the same area on March 5, 2022, during drier times.

Cosmic spring is in the air! The latest image from @NASAWebb features a blooming Wolf-Rayet star, 15,000 light-years away. This rare phase is as fleeting as the cherry blossom it resembles. Luckily, Webb can study its "petals" of dust in detail: go.nasa.gov/3YL5D6I #SXSW

There is beauty in transience. 🌸

Webb’s stunning image of a super bright, massive Wolf-Rayet star calls forth the ephemeral nature of cherry blossoms. The Wolf-Rayet phase is a fleeting stage that only some stars go through, soon before they explode: go.nasa.gov/3Ln74VC
