Happy Earth Day! 🌎 🌍 🌏 To mark this special day, we’re tuning in to @sen, the world’s first continuous 4K video livestream from space. Sen’s cameras are hosted on our Columbus module of the International @Space_Station, with data delivered via the @AirbusSpace platform. Streaming in real time, it shows breathtaking views of our planet as the International Space Station passes over cities, oceans and deserts. Watch Earth from above, just like our astronaut @SophieAdenot does on the #εpsilon mission. 📹 Sen

Jesse, Steve, Laddy, and Vlad….such an incredible feeling to welcome you aboard Integrity after a nearly 700,000 mile journey. Forever thankful for your service to our crew and the nation.

On the helicopter leaving the ship right now. This planet is impossibly beautiful from every altitude I’ve seen it…surface to 250,000 miles

Great to speak with the @NASA Artemis crew tonight on their mission and inspiring young Kansans. I invited them to the @the_cosmosphere in Hutchinson and look forward to hosting them when they return to Earth.   Watch our conversation below⬇️

Sky full of stars. Following a successful lunar flyby, the Artemis II astronauts captured this breathtaking photo of our galaxy, the Milky Way, on April 7, 2026.

It's not just a phase 🌕 Artemis II astronauts captured these views of the Moon as the Orion spacecraft flew around the far side of the Moon on April 6, 2026.

@MarioNawfal Whoa! Talk about product placement!

Nutella just got the most badass free ad in maybe human history. A jar of it floated across the camera on the Artemis II livestream, halfway to the Moon, completely unbothered. All it took was zero gravity and a very good brand moment.

@PatrickMahomes He is Risen, Indeed!

He is Risen! 🙏🏽✝️

ISS’den roket fırlatmasını çekmişler. İnterneti bu yüzden seviyorum ya bana böyle içerik lazım.

@AJamesMcCarthy @johnkrausphotos Thank you for sharing your story!

This photo has a very personal meaning for me if you care to read it. I saw a photo from @johnkrausphotos on reddit nearly a decade ago of the engines on a Falcon Heavy launch. I was working at a tough sales job at the time. The shot inspired me to learn more about space and spaceflight. Shortly after, I bought my first telescope. I saw Jupiter, Saturn, and Nebulae, and started social media accounts where I shared my amateur photos. Then I was laid off, and Covid happened. Moved from Sacramento to Arizona for clearer skies, cheaper cost of living, and a chance to go all-in on space photography. My audience started to grow. Then, NASA contacted me, asking me if they could use some of my moon photos for something called Artemis. I said yes. During the Artemis I rollout my DMs blew up “Andrew- your photo is on the Mobile Launch Platform!”. Now I knew that astrophotography wasn’t enough… I should probably pay attention to spaceflight. I spent a lot coming out to the first launch attempt, which would be my first rocket launch if it flew. Sadly, it was a scrub. I came home from Florida, sharing my stories of touring the VAB and facilities with my grandfather, who worked on Apollo. He passed shortly after, which affected my ability to return to watch the SLS flew. Feeling bummed out, I focused back on my deep sky work, but then I started hearing about something called “Starship”. I caught a video from @Erdayastronaut where a rocket ship fell through the air belly-first and flipped upright and landed. Inspired, I knew I had to witness one of these machines fly, so I flew to Starbase the moment I could afford it, which was for the second fully integrated flight test. The moment Starship lifted off the pad, I was hooked. There was nothing quite like the experience. I did everything I could to catch every launch I could, and worked to become credentialed media to get better access. Last year I flew from Arizona to Florida & Texas over a dozen times specifically to sharpen my launch photography skills with our first human spaceflight to the moon in over 50 years looming. A decade of preparation for a split second moment. When I picked up my camera from the launch pad yesterday morning and peeked at what was captured, I knew it was all worth it. Thank you, NASA, Artemis, and the all people who inspired me along the way. This is still only the beginning.

STUNNING🚨: Artemis II crew captured a stunning image of Earth this morning from 41,000 miles away. The first time since 1972 that humans have seen a crescent Earth in full.

Bill Self is HIM 👑 @KUHoops has been a No. 4 seed or better in 22 of his 23 seasons 🤯

These schools have the longest active streaks of making the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament 🔥 Which of these teams is making it the farthest this year?

For the first time in Big 12 Tournament history, both semifinal games are AP Top-15 matchups: No. 2 Arizona vs. No. 7 Iowa State No. 5 Houston vs. No. 14 Kansas

NEWS: The Big 12 will be transitioning to a hardwood court for the remainder of the Big 12 tournament. The LED glass basketball court has been greeted with mixed reviews, including feedback that it is slippery.

@Hassel_Chris Yup!

Worse than the court itself is just how dark and dingy the entire viewing experience has become in KC. It’s like you’re watching someone play in an unfinished basement.

Meant to share this with you all last night but shoutout to this guest services staff member for being awesome 😂😎

@AustinCEckert Rock Chalk magic!

The KU version of storming the court happened last night. All of the students and a majority of the fans stayed for 20 minutes after the game just cheering and going nuts for their team. It’s just different in Lawrence
