Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch is set to become the 1st woman to fly around the moon 🌕

We're big fans of π! NASA missions depend on pi - from returning astronauts to Earth from the International Space Station to learning about the materials inside a planet or asteroid. Check out 18 ways that NASA uses pi: go.nasa.gov/4drYtyW

🚨 BREAKING: Iran didn't respond to US bombs with missiles. They responded with GAME THEORY. And in doing so, they may have just fired the most dangerous shot at the US dollar in 52 years. Here's the move most people completely missed: 🧵 (Read this slowly. Share it widely.)

@TimandraHarknes @Bobby_Seagull But 22nd July isn’t in school term time!

Happy Pi day to you crazy people who write the date MM/DD/YYYY. I'll be celebrating on 22/7 like any rational person.

@itsastroniks Oh no! Sending my love to you all xx

@itsastroniks 😍

@FortyII @itsastroniks Happy Birthday!!! 🎂

Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science. 👩🏾‍🔬👩🏻‍🔧👩🏼‍🚀 Hear from @ESA Member of the Astronaut Reserve, @astro_meganne on the women who inspired her, and the importance of challenging gender stereotypes and bias. 👩‍🚀 #IDWGS2026 #WomenInSTEM

Seven women. Seven careers. Seven pieces of advice. For #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience we’re celebrating the voices and wisdom of women shaping science and technology across Europe. #IDWGS #WomenInSTEM 🔗esa.int/About_Us/Diver… @Soph_astro @CERN @ESO @embl @EuropeanXFEL @EIROforum

Today is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Did you know that Beatrix Potter was also a scientist? In 1967 W.P.K. Findlay, a previous President of the British Mycological Society, used her drawings in a volume of the ‘Wayside and Woodland’ series of books.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! 👩🏾‍🔬👩🏻‍🔧👩🏼‍🚀 Following in the footsteps of the UK's first astronaut, Helen Sharman, are UK @ESA astronaut @Astro_Rosemary and Reserve Astronaut @astro_meganne. #IDWGS2026

BREAKING🚨: A newly discovered comet will soon be visible in our night sky- it’s so huge and bright that it could even be visible in broad daylight

Eye-catching creativity from @WilliamsF1 😍 #F1 #F1Testing

Williams have brought their whimsical to the next level 😭

@itsastroniks Happy Birthday! E’s birthday is Sat which means I need to wish a certain young lady Happy Birthday too! // @FortyII

The world has lost a mind whose work guides us every day. Gladys West, a pioneering mathematician whose contributions helped make modern GPS possible, has passed away at 95, peacefully on January 2026, surrounded by family and friends. West’s mathematical models of the Earth’s shape became a critical foundation for satellite navigation, allowing precise positioning anywhere on the globe. Her work helps guide everything from airplanes and ships to smartphones and emergency services, though she once joked that she still preferred using paper maps. Born in 1930 in rural Virginia, West grew up in the South, working on her family’s farm and walking miles to a one-room schoolhouse. She originally planned to study home economics, but discovered a love for geometry that led her to pursue mathematics. A scholarship took her to Virginia State College, where she earned her degree and later a master’s in mathematics. In 1956, she joined a U.S. Navy research facility in Dahlgren, Virginia. Over a 42-year career, West worked with early computers to develop algorithms that accounted for the Earth’s irregular shape, gravity, and tidal forces, refinements that were essential for accurate satellite positioning. Without the mathematical groundwork she helped establish, the global navigation systems used today would not function as they do. For most of her career, West’s contributions remained largely unknown outside scientific circles. Later in life, she received major honors, including induction into the U.S. Air Force Hall of Fame and the Prince Philip Medal. She inspired generations of scientists and mathematicians.

There’s a clue here somewhere 😍😘 @sciencemuseum @astro_timpeake
