Funny and cute story about...well...pooping Lego heads!

Look at this fuzzy friend! It is the largest marten in the old world.

Today, engineers continued with the jet firing development flight test objective to further our understanding of spacecraft operations.

A new objective was added to help engineers understand @NASA_Orionโ€™s thermal performance for Artemis II and beyond. go.nasa.gov/3iqdLK8

This is a cool paper where influenza and RSV can share surface proteins during a coinfections.. although one of these viruses is gets more from sharing than others



When #Artemis launch teams saw a small hydrogen leak before the launch of @NASA_SLS and @NASA_Orion, they sent out three members of the โ€œred crew,โ€ a group of specialists who are trained to fix hands-on issues during launch countdown.

Hear their story: go.nasa.gov/3gNj06c

I regularly give a copy of this book to my practising artist friends. It's a beautiful demonstration of one particular reason why art is so valuable to all of us.

Here is Frederick, who with poetry is helping the other mice make it through the winter. He reminds them of the colours that they have to look forward to in spring.



Yesterday, NASAโ€™s uncrewed Orion spacecraft reached its max distance from Earth โ€” 268,563 miles from Earth!

Orion will continue in its distant retrograde orbit for a few more days before swinging by the Moon again on its way back to Earth. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ›ฐ๐ŸŒ’

Orion has many cameras that it uses to capture gorgeous imagery of itself as well as Earth and the Moon at different phases and distances.

Images from its optical navigation camera help establish Orionโ€™s position in space, a method that could be useful for future missions.

We awarded @ICON3DTech a #smallbiz contract to continue work on a construction system that could be used on the Moon and Mars! This technology is designed to use local resources to build infrastructure such as landing pads, habitats, roads, and more: go.nasa.gov/3FeRNmC

Hey @nasa, would you please provide alt text/descriptions for the photos you post on this account? I'd love to enjoy the photos like I do for the #JWST photos on Twitter.

Thanks. It's good for #accessibility for those of us who are blind or otherwise need descriptions.



In a star's life, being 100,000 years old makes one equivalent to a 7-hour-old infant. And, it turns out, they also need to 'burp' (every ~400 years). Such outbursts follow feeding frenzies, shows research that could shed light on planet formation. go.nasa.gov/3Fc6ve1

Tumblr Will Join Mastodon And The Fediverse #Mastodon #Twittertakeover #YouTube youtu.be/goHk0aWZhi4
in reply to Brodie Robertson

while I admit there is risk (things like potentially adding ads etc) I can't help but like the idea of a bunch of separate sites like tumblr, YouTube, etc all linked through the fediverse

I have doubts that most of these companies would want that, but it would reshape the internet in an interesting way imo

in reply to Brodie Robertson

when I first tried to join mastodon, I was gatekept out and decided ykno, "F*** this". This video made me decide to try again. I think the barrier to entry is way too high for most people and it's gonna be to this platform's detriment, but I'm still hopeful for the future of it.


As @nasa works toward a permanent presence on the Moon, the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, announced #OTD in 2018, is a vital part of the plan. Through CLPS, companies competitively bid to bring experiments and supplies to the Moon! go.nasa.gov/3ASxubU

Burping baby stars! (Really)

Young stars often shine in bright bursts as they consume material from surrounding disks. These luminous eruptions are signs of feeding binges as the growing stars devour material from disks of gas and dust that surround them. go.nasa.gov/3H12Tgl

Regulators, mount up! ๐ŸŒŸ

Data from @ChandraXray and @SOFIAtelescope reveal a star cluster that regulates itselfโ€”allowing only a limited set of stars to grow before expelling most of the gas from the system. This process likely slows new star creation: go.nasa.gov/3Vz1GRg

ah. Ok. Itโ€™s a little strange with the gamepass EA games on PC so I wasnโ€™t sure if there was an extra loader involved since thereโ€™s that โ€œextra EULAโ€ message on their games. Thanks!

Curious about stars? The Sun is a main sequence star, which means that it converts hydrogen into helium in its core in a process that keeps it from collapsing. Itโ€™ll become a red giant in about 5 billion years when it runs out of hydrogen. Learn more: universe.nasa.gov/stars/types/

They Might Be Giants have two songs about the process of the sun. Which one is more accurate describing the process?

It's not even that far. You can still see where you launched it from.

this screenshot has me the opposite of excited, videos also didn't help. It looks like they found too few surfaces to justify the RTX shine on, and then decided to go overboard and apply it to absolutely unneeded surfaces and places.

Fun fact. The writer of this toot and the HST were both launched on the same day. 4/24/1990. We are forever linked
in reply to NASA

And how many of those stars are dead? That is what trips e out the most about space is how vast it is. So vast that light's speed seems like a crawl and it dawns on you that every time you look into the sky you are looking at millions of years into the past.
