What do you think a superhero powered by the Sun would look like? Draw us a picture and tell us all about them for a chance to be featured by @NASASpacePlace. After all, a super star needs a superhero: https://t.co/KvqKGc2qfK https://t.co/NA82dPKN7c

“Mini-Neptune” ➡️ “Super-Earth” Astronomers have identified cases of exoplanets (planets orbiting stars beyond our Sun) losing their puffy atmospheres of mostly hydrogen & helium, which might transform them into large, rocky planets called super-Earths: https://t.co/hrxVx9CSFq https://t.co/env4A549dW

Today we are celebrating @Astro_Sabot's 300th consecutive day on @Space_Station. He’s made life better for #Crew3, whether it’s teaching patch signing traditions or how to use the science glove box. After his year on-orbit, we’ll pass lessons onto the future crews who live here. https://t.co/KLLCoq6lNx

Feb. 3, 2022 marks 300 continuous days in space for @Astro_Sabot and Pyotr Dubrov! In 300 days, they have orbited the Earth 4,800 times and traveled 127,218,212 statute miles. 🗓️🛰️🌌 https://t.co/eZiglH6VRf

Congrats to @Astro_Sabot on his 300th consecutive day in space! On his way to setting the record for the longest single spaceflight by a NASA astronaut, he is working on hundreds of microgravity experiments aboard the @Space_Station. https://t.co/Ov7bNebXX6

Join us Friday at 1pm ET for a #BlackHistoryMonth event with astronauts Stephanie Wilson, Jessica Watkins, @Astro_Jeanette and @AstroVicGlover, who will discuss Black health & wellness in space. NASA doctors will also join the conversation. Set a reminder: https://t.co/PxVzUnGOw1 https://t.co/HdlbrKvSWs

49 Starlink Sats successfully deployed in low earth orbit [OC]

We've made and successfully tested a large, 100% composite cryogenic fuel tank. This game-changing technology could increase the amount of mass a rocket can launch and be used in sustainable air travel. Release: https://t.co/k5rC4AnXGS https://t.co/vUjeX7IrYY

This picture of Eileen Collins was taken today in 1995 while on board Space Shuttle Discovery, on STS-63. She became the first woman space shuttle pilot. #BecauseOfHerStory #IdeasThatDefy https://t.co/EeAGwFVhvo

I looked back at my journal entries recently and thought I would share... Day 1: “It was a bit jarring going from crowds and outdoors to indoors, few windows, and few people [on the International Space Station].”

Happy 300th Consecutive Day in Space to my friend and favorite space trick partner, @Astro_Sabot. I’m so grateful to be up here with such wonderful, hardworking, caring, fun human beings. - Kayla Barron https://t.co/DEP6O5pS7E

Our team built this cryogenic fuel tank that withstood 3.75 times its intended operational pressures in recent testing. Check out the video of the tank being manufactured. https://t.co/5pq9OGyx42

Soviet spacecraft Luna 9 soft landed on the Moon in the Ocean of Storms on #OTD in 1966. It was the first spacecraft to make a survivable landing on the Moon. More via @NASA https://t.co/SQ9lfmK4gQ https://t.co/QMAH7yfn9N

T-minus 30 minutes. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket will head southeast from Kennedy Space Center to place 49 Starlink internet satellites into an orbit at an inclination of 53.2 degrees to the equator. SpaceX’s drone ship is near the Bahamas for booster landing. https://t.co/vpML7E0zN4 https://t.co/1Pr0ke4Mxo
