Day 076, orbit 1179 — Weighing yourself in weightlessness isn’t really about weight… it’s about mass. On Earth, a scale works because gravity pulls us down, but in microgravity everything floats, so that method simply doesn’t work. Instead, we use a special device that moves our body up and down, allowing us to determine our mass. Mass stays exactly the same, whether you’re on Earth or floating in orbit. 🎥 @esa / @NASA #εpsilon • @esaspaceflight • @NASA_Johnson • @Space_Station



Our ESA/Hubble Picture of the Month features a starry spiral in a familiar neighbourhood 🏘️👋 NGC 3137 is located 53 million light-years away in the constellation Antlia (The Air Pump). It travels through space with a group of galaxies thought to be similar to the Local Group, with two large spiral galaxies and many smaller dwarf galaxies. 1/3
