Did it get dark in here? Oh, that’s just the dust cloud I caught with my Hazcam. While this isn’t the first dusty gust I’ve captured, its size and proximity made for a dense shadow. [📷 from sol 3418] https://t.co/CgnWIhqqSQ

.@NASA provides five universities grants so students can design science experiments destined for the station. https://t.co/Oq1hcHBhRb

Ignition! SpaceX has test-fired the Falcon 9 rocket set to carry four private crew members into space Friday on Axiom’s Ax-1 mission to the International Space Station. SpaceX will now review data before the Ax-1 launch from the Kennedy Space Center. https://t.co/DsGITMNi2s https://t.co/hC3eOX0mxh

During the past 20 years, the @Space_Station evolved from an outpost on the edge of space into a highly capable laboratory. Now results are compounding, new benefits are materializing, and the third decade is building on 20 years of experience. https://t.co/mnLJCeWb1y https://t.co/j1iGzDffBF

“My career counselor said I would do amazing work at a car wash… But I didn't listen. And now, I'm actually working for NASA.” Read Edward Gonzales’ story as the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Lead at @NASAGoddard: https://t.co/NKItyBORh1 https://t.co/lCTa3d93qe

NASA’s Artemis 1 moon rocket and SpaceX’s Falcon 9 shared the scene today at the Kennedy Space Center — the first time since 2009 that rockets have stood on both pads at Launch Complex 39. Read more: https://t.co/e0Pf5NtyQm https://t.co/PHuTlfbFvI

On this day in 1938, the P-39 Airacobra prototype had its first test flight. The P-39 was a beautifully sleek but somewhat unconventional airplane whose final production version benefited from the NACA's Full Scale Tunnel Drag Cleanup program.

Squad Goals.😎 This cosmic group looks like it contains five galaxies, earning it the nickname 'Stephan's Quintet'. About 300 million light-years away, only four of these five galaxies actually interact; the odd man out is easy to spot. The four interacting galaxies have an overall yellowish cast. They also tend to have distorted loops and tails, grown under the influence of disruptive gravitational tides. But the predominantly bluish galaxy is closer, just 40 million light-years distant, and isn't part of the group. The image was constructed with data drawn from the extensive NASAHubble Legacy Archive. https://go.nasa.gov/3DKgx3N

SpaceX is filling a Falcon 9 rocket with kerosene and liquid oxygen propellants. Ignition time for this static fire test is set for 2pm EDT (1800 GMT). This test is a precursor to launch Friday of the Falcon 9 and Dragon spacecraft with a crew of four. https://t.co/DsGITMNi2s https://t.co/W7jeSO7EyZ

On this day in 1924, the Douglas World Cruisers left on their flight around the world to achieve the first circumnavigation of the globe by air. One of those aircraft, "Chicago," is in our collection: https://t.co/Z8qVwlQnvm #AirSpacePhoto https://t.co/6Maglou9xc

STS-41C launched from @NASA_Kennedy #OTD in 1984. The crew deployed LDEF and performed the first on-orbit repair of a spacecraft when the altitude control system and coronagraph/polarimeter electronics box were replace on the Solar Max satellite. https://t.co/xQGFWZ90tk https://t.co/2xVnT7E1mJ
