@theapplecycle @johnkrausphotos Also incorrect.
Gerg Oos@OosGergVer

In fact, a cursory search showed all 7 private Crew Dragon flights have had iPhones on board, used for both personal and scientific purposes to operate experiments and capture/record data. was routine, no one made a big deal about it: 1. Inspiration4 (Sept 2021) — Commanded by Jared Isaacman 2. Axiom-1 (Ax-1) (April 2022) 3. Axiom-2 (Ax-2) (2023) 4. Axiom-3 (Ax-3) (2024) 5. Polaris Dawn (Sept 2024) — Jared Isaacman 2nd mission, first EVA 6. Fram2 (April 2025) 7. Axiom-4 (Ax-4) (June 2025) → SpaceX engineer and spacewalker Sarah Gillis played "Harmony of Resilience," a violin piece composed by Jacob Shea (featuring 'Rey's Theme' from Star Wars) during the 2024 Polaris Dawn mission—the first violin played in space. captured in HD on iPhone and transmitted via Starlink: youtu.be/lD1ixTr4JWY

@johnkrausphotos Correct. Though I believe this is the first time each crew member gets an iPhone for photos/videos

The sky at Macrohard looks cool AF today. Casually setting hundreds of megapacks is also super sick. @Tesla team pumping them out faster than my grandmas biscuits on thanksgiving day. 🤣

Incredible findings from the OSIRIS-REx mission! Always exciting to be reminded how early we are in the timeline of human discovery of our universe.
NASA Solar System@NASASolarSystem

BREAKING: Sugars essential for life have been found in pristine asteroid Bennu samples collected by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft. Combined with previous detections of amino acids and nucleobases, we see that life’s ingredients were widespread throughout the solar system: go.nasa.gov/48MTu9i More on the study led by Yoshihiro Furukawa of @TohokuUniPR⤵️

If you have a very low-latitude aurora observation from tonight, please record your exact time and rough location and DO NOT DELETE your photo. These observations will be important for scientific research. Comment below if you have a very low-latitude aurora sighting.

@SawyerMerritt @Starlink Starlink works, especially when it matters. For catching up with family, or surviving and recovering from a hurricane. Easy choice for State Dept here.

Congrats to the new class of @NASA astronaut candidates--especially @annawmenon one of the most amazing people I know. A former NASA biomedical engineer, @SpaceX Mission Director, one of two women astronauts to have already flown farther in to space than anyone before, a rockstar mom of two, wife to @astro_anil and a pioneer who will help lead America’s space program into the future 🇺🇸

Hurricane Hunters@53rdWRS·
Last night, the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron flew into the eye of Hurricane Erin—and captured imagery of the breathtaking stadium effect. These missions provide critical data to the NHC to improve forecasts, helping keep communities safe before the storm makes landfall.#readynow #weatherready

It’s always a bummer to scrub a @NASA Crew launch, but nothing is more important than safety and reliability. We only will fly when it’s safe! Nonetheless, I indeed yell at a cloud today

Space and meteorology are linked, and what an amazing example here. Blue jet with red sprite from the ISS, taken by @Astro_Ayers!
Nichole “Vapor” Ayers@Astro_Ayers

Just. Wow. As we went over Mexico and the U.S. this morning, I caught this sprite. Sprites are TLEs or Transient Luminous Events, that happen above the clouds and are triggered by intense electrical activity in the thunderstorms below. We have a great view above the clouds, so scientists can use these types of pictures to better understand the formation, characteristics, and relationship of TLEs to thunderstorms.
