hey i love these posts and i love following along with everything you’re doing, but you seem to be posting the exact same message several times in a row. is that on purpose?

Upgrade in progress: a new solar array unrolls on the @Space_Station. It will produce more than 20 kilowatts of electricity to augment the station's power supply and support more @ISS_Research.

Smoke from the Canadian wildfires has caused historically poor air quality in the northeastern U.S.

This animation shows how black carbon particles, or soot, moved across eastern portions of Canada and the U.S. from June 3–8, 2023.

Who's ready for lunch?

Skylab astronauts ate a much wider variety of foods than the Apollo astronauts. With over 70 kinds of foods provided, including some frozen foods, they could reheat portions of their meal in special trays that slotted into the ward room's table.
#NASAhistory



Still, the Skylab 2 crew members weren't big fans. Food that tasted good in Houston tasted worse in space. The most popular item: German potato salad #Skylab50

But which kind of potato salad? With vinegar and oil or the unholy variety made with mayonnaise? As Germany is divided about these two variants, we have to know.


Time for work! @NASA_Astronauts Steve Bowen and @Astro_Woody have switched their suits to battery power and exited the Quest airlock. Now, they’ll install a roll-out solar array on the @Space_Station.

Go, go, Phyto Phyters! 🥊 🌊

What phytoplankton lack in size, they make up in numbers. These tiny marine organisms photosynthesize to produce oxygen and store carbon in Earth’s oceans. #WorldOceansDay

If you are feeling out of sorts, try a grounding exercise. There are some suggestions here: drcordes.com/blog/2014/11/24/e…


A gamma-ray burst in 2022 was dubbed the brightest of all time, or BOAT. Most GRBs occur when the core of a star collapses, becoming a black hole. They release as much energy in minutes as our Sun will release in its lifetime. nasa.gov/feature/jpl/brightest…
#NASAExoplanets


Hmm. After two tries drilling this pebbly outcrop, it seems this crumbly rock doesn’t want to hold together for a core sample. I’ll look for something similar at another spot nearby.

Why are pebbles so enticing? ➡️go.nasa.gov/3OVzUhO

GRBs (gamma-ray bursts) produce the highest energy light in the universe from catastrophic star events. A recent burst was nicknamed the BOAT (for brightest of all time), the 7-minute blast may have been the brightest GRB in 10,000 years! go.nasa.gov/3X0q3tc

Large amounts of smoke have been pouring into the eastern U.S. from fires in Quebec. The wildfire smoke is degrading the quality of surface-level air that tens of millions of people breathe.

Several NASA satellites are collecting data on the plumes: go.nasa.gov/3p1pPFk

For #WorldOceansDay, we're celebrating NASA's missions that have helped us better understand our oceans!

#DYK SeaSat-1, launched 45 years ago this month, was the 1st satellite designed to provide global observations of the Earth’s oceans?

#NASAhistory



Several @nasa satellites are monitoring the event: Terra, Aqua, & Aura observe how smoke particles affect light absorption and reflection in the atmosphere. CALIPSO measures smoke height.

NASA’s ground-based networks also measure smoke and air pollution near Earth’s surface.
#NASAEarth



Fires in Quebec have delivered one of the most intense outbreaks of smoke seen in the eastern U.S. in decades.

This image from @NOAA’s GOES-16 shows smoke sweeping into New York and Pennsylvania on the morning of June 7.

Are wildfires getting worse? Unfortunately, yes.

Changes in our climate have led to wildfires increasing in intensity, severity, size and duration.

How did winter storms affect California’s water supply?

Data from the GRACE-FO satellite show the greatest net gain of water over the winter in nearly 22 years, but the state’s groundwater, used for irrigation, could take years to fully recharge.

#NASAEarth

in reply to NASA

yikes, that trendline still looks like bad news....


Think of the state’s Central Valley region as a giant swimming pool: GRACE-FO measurements include all the water contained in the lakes, rivers, soil, snowpack, and underground aquifers within that region. Winter storms raised levels by about 20 inches (about 500 millimeters).

Also, it has been MASSIVELY overdrilled and sucked down by wells during the droughts - so much so that the earth was sinking, making bridges and roads buckle. That's going to take some refilling from mother nature's hose...
