I’m SO OBSESSED with this...

🎉 Cheers to the TRAPPIST-1 system! Five years ago today, astronomers revealed a system of seven Earth-size planets, posing the question: Are any of these worlds habitable? @NASAWebb plans to look for signs of atmosphere in these planets. https://t.co/pluemdKl48 https://t.co/1paVtgmZPM

Welcomed the S.S. Piers Sellers cargo vehicle to @Space_Station yesterday. We are ready for new science covering all the “–ologies”…from molecular mechanism behind cell aging to modeling material flammability. We also heard there might be ice cream on board, so really great day! https://t.co/ddnUQSyXxL
