With #Crew6, we’ll gather new information in experiments that will bring us closer to our goal of landing on Mars, testing microgravity’s effect on flames and immunity, as well as collecting microorganisms from outside the Space Station. Get to know the mission. https://t.co/ekn4Ox8A4c

Moving out of my place soon. I will miss my universe-themed decor.

A study using data from @NASA's Magellan mission has found that Venus' 'squishy' outer shell may be resurfacing the planet. This new information could help us better understand how Earth's tectonics began over 2.5 billion years ago! https://t.co/vjmCa4ZgIB https://t.co/kkjThR2RGt

Astronaut signatures

In the summer of 2014 I was a mechanical engineering intern at NASA MSFC. When I was there I got this poster signed by two astronauts who were giving a presentation about their time on the space station. My wife is due to have our first child in 6 weeks and we’re decorating the nursery with a space theme. I want to frame the poster and put it on the nursery wall, but I can’t figure out who the astronauts were! Please help me figure it out so I can tell my child about them someday. https://imgur.com/a/3yCQZG3 Close up pictures of the two signatures are in the link, and if I remember correctly the second one was signed upside down. I scanned through a list of astronauts on the space station but couldn’t match any names to the signatures. If anyone can ID them or has another idea of how to ID them I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

Happy #IntroduceAGirlToEngineeringDay! We're celebrating Sally Ride, the first woman of @NASA_Astronauts to fly in space. Ride worked during & after her @NASA career to inspire the next generation of engineers & scientists. Who's your engineering heroine? https://t.co/Rrklz74as2 https://t.co/RBCpwt8qKQ

Today in 1997, the Air Force's Titan IVB rocket launched for the first time. This photo is from the launch of the Cassini-Huygens mission later that year. https://t.co/1uMXaKUQRH

A previously unknown class of water-rich asteroids has been identified. This class of Ceres-like asteroids originates from the outer edge of the Solar System.
