HOLY SHIT!!!! CHRISTINA KOCH CAUGHT EARTHSHINE ON VIDEO DURING ARTEMIS II AND ITS STUNNING!!!!! LOOK AT OUR PLANETA

🇪🇺ESA's #SpaceRider will ride the atmosphere first!

WAIT… the Moon isn’t gray?! 🌒🎨 We’ve been looking at it wrong this whole time. With the right filters, it lights up with: 🔵 titanium blues 🟠 volcanic oranges ⚫ iron-rich terrain These shots from Artemis II today proves it. The craziest part? Nothing changed… except how we looked at it. #ArtemisII #moon

NASA just released this… and it’s hard to process. 🌍 The Moon in front. Earth in the distance. And Orion carrying humans between them.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 🌍 🌏 Zu diesem besonderen Tag schalten wir ein bei @sen – dem weltweit ersten kontinuierlichen 4K‑Video‑Livestream aus dem Weltraum. Die Kameras von Sen sind auf unserem Columbus‑Modul der Internationalen @Space_Station installiert, die Daten werden über die @AirbusSpace‑Plattform übertragen. Der Livestream zeigt atemberaubende Aufnahmen unseres Planeten, während die ISS über Städte, Ozeane und Wüsten fliegt. Erlebt die Erde von oben – genau wie unsere Astronautin @SophieAdenot auf der #εpsilon‑Mission. 📹 Sen

Helft uns bei der Jagd nach Anzeichen von Raumzeit‑Krümmung! 🔎 Macht mit bei „Euclid Space Warps“ auf Zooniverse und sucht nach starken Gravitationslinsen in noch nie zuvor gesehenen Bildern von unserem Detektiv fürs Dunkle Universum. 🕵️ 👉 esa.int/Science_Explor…

On its 32nd birthday, the Hubble Space Telescope presented a spectacular snapshot of Hickson Compact Group 40, showing five galaxies huddled together as gravity slowly pulls them into a single system. (Credit: NASA, ESA, and STScI)

For the first time, astronomers witness the dawn of a new solar system Using the European Southern Observatory’s ALMA telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers spotted the very first specks of planet-building material, hot minerals just starting to solidify This is the earliest stage of planet formation ever observed and it gives us a rare glimpse into how our own Solar System may have been born

Hey @astro_reid, hopefully there is a hires picture from this view.. 👀 Please post if there is 🙏

A cosmic ocean exists where no human has ever sailed. Astronomers have detected a water cloud 12 billion light-years away, holding an astonishing 140 trillion times the water in all of Earth’s oceans combined. It is a discovery so vast that it stretches the imagination, challenging our sense of scale and reminding us how tiny our world truly is. This cloud, seen in the early universe, hints at a time when galaxies were forming and black holes were already shaping their surroundings. The sheer quantity of water suggests that the ingredients for life are not confined to our solar system — they exist in unimaginable abundance, waiting silently in the cosmos. Scientists are stunned not only by the scale but also by the implications. Water, essential to life as we know it, appears in massive quantities even in the distant past, meaning that the universe may have been capable of supporting habitable conditions far earlier than previously imagined. Every observation opens a new window into the chemistry of the early cosmos. Looking at such a cloud evokes both wonder and humility. The enormity of space, the age of light reaching our telescopes, and the invisible forces shaping galaxies remind us that discovery often comes cloaked in awe. This water cloud is a monument to the mysteries that remain, whispering of worlds and possibilities we have yet to encounter. And so we are left with a quiet reflection: billions of light-years away, water flows in quantities beyond comprehension, reminding us that the universe is filled with secrets that continue to stretch the limits of human curiosity.

🚨 : Artemis II Astronaut Reid Wiseman just shared this insane footage of Earthset captured from his iPhone while going around the Moon.

The surface of asteroid Ryugu, taken by the Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa2. A carbon-rich rubble pile about 900 meters wide, made up of material older than Earth. Humans reached across millions of kilometers, touched this primordial rock, and brought pieces of it back home.

Day 065, orbit 1005 — Sunday morning science with Sophie, episode 4: Water, air bubbles, and centrifuge force. Important note: onboard the Station, we drink from soft pouches that we fill and refill with recycled water. This plastic bottle is only used for fun science demonstrations. 🎥 NASA/ESA #εpsilon • @esa • @esaspaceflight • @Space_Station • @CNES • @NASA • @NASA_Johnson

We're inviting experts in #safety, emergency management, medicine, human factors, engineering & analog operations to apply for its new advisory committee. Details here: bit.ly/4sJXtuf. #riskmanagement #marsanalog #themarssociety

Avernus Block 3+ launching the Taurus lander to Lunar orbit ahead of first crew landing

🇮🇹CIRA successfully tested 🇪🇺#SpaceRider's heat shield. That proves it can still land even after micro meteorite hits. First test flight is expected in 2028.

Die aktuelle Artemis-Doku von Tim Lambert, die diese Woche schon auf BBC (UK) und PBS (USA) gezeigt wurde, schafft es via ARTE auch nach Deutschland. Sie ist bis zum 16.10. in der Mediathek: arte.tv/de/videos/1168… Also falls jemand nicht genug von #Artemis2 bekommt ...

A galactic hit-and-run! The galaxy NGC 4485 shows signs of an interaction with a bypassing galaxy, but it didn't cause destruction. In fact, it triggered a whole new generation of stars to form! Find out more: go.nasa.gov/4cfAx0T
