U.S. general: Starlink in Ukraine showing what megaconstellations can do

At NASA, women are making history every day as leaders and role models for the next generation of explorers. Join us in commemorating #InternationalWomensDay by learning about some @WomenNASA who inspire us: https://t.co/fMpDWD16TU https://t.co/CnJPPs41Pm

This might not look like a cluster of wild ducks, but it’s still called the Wild Duck Cluster. Also known as Messier 11, this open star cluster’s 2000 stars are only loosely bound by gravity, leading to a short lifespan.

Maybe they can go to McPutins. I hear their burgers are killer. https://t.co/N8qoNZjHbN

While the Exp 66 crew prepares for a spacewalk next week, we’re looking back at @Astro_Christina and @Astro_Jessica’s first all-woman spacewalk in honor of #InternationalWomensDay! #WomensHistoryMonth https://t.co/Xas968IznM

With the help of our NICER telescope on the @Space_Station, astronomers were able to see multimillion-degree X-ray spots merge on the surface of a magnetar. Observations showed that the crust on SGR 1830 is moving — similar to tectonic plates on Earth. https://t.co/aiQMKmYuXm https://t.co/E0jgXkjY0P

Thanks to women like Andrea Ghez and Nancy Grace Roman, we're taking a clearer look at the universe. Here's how we're building on their work to “autocorrect” telescope images—including those we'll take with @NASARoman: https://t.co/IA2WH897Ds https://t.co/86gRBP3h6L

We dare mighty things… together. On this #InternationalWomensDay, we recognize the brilliant women who have played critical roles in space exploration – from the “human computers” of the 1950s to the support, science, engineering, and leadership roles they serve in today. https://t.co/ODSzZVLJEm

🎶 Who runs the (red) world? Girls! 🎶 Today is #InternationalWomensDay, so I’m giving a special shoutout to the women on my team. You rock my world… literally! https://t.co/aWt16SgJVt
