@timmask I'm sure they'll try to Class Action that one. "Oh, you want to eat, but not work? Sign up here!"

@AstroHague @Space_Station @NASA @NASA_Astronauts @ISS_Research @usairforce You give new meaning to the word "toe hold" :)

2 months into my stay on @Space_Station! What’s it like adjusting to life in space? My back stretched out due to lack of gravity & I’m now 2 inches taller, fluid shifts make me feel a bit stuffy, & the tops of my feet now have calluses since we use them like hands on handrails.

18 more exoplanets found... cool graphic showing the sizes. earthsky.org/space/18-more-…

Want to grow 2"? :)

A couple times a year, the @Space_Station orbit happens to align over the day/night shadow line on Earth. We are continuously in sunlight, never passing into Earth’s shadow from the Sun, and the Earth below us is always in dawn or dusk. Beautiful time to cloud watch. #nofilter

How do you find #Polaris? What's your Latitude? Well, that's your L'Altitude as well. If you are 32* lat, then look up 32* North... Bingo! Star Found. There you go. earthsky.org/brightest-star…
