This April 12, we celebrate Yuri Gagarin's first human spaceflight (1961), the space shuttle's first flight (1981) and all of the people onboard the space station today who are preparing us for future moon missions. #InternationalDayofHumanSpaceflight Astronaut Kate Rubins photographed the moonrise from the International Space Station when she was an Expedition 49 Flight Engineer in September 2016. #nasa #astronaut #moon #earth #international #space #station

Big news! No. Really. @NASAHubble confirmed the largest comet ever. Its nucleus is bigger than Rhode Island. But don't worry: the comet won't come any closer to Earth than Saturn: https://t.co/yiZe9Quanh https://t.co/dui5dfdxs8

Are you team #filter or #nofilter on social media? 🤳 When it comes to NASAHubble, filters are a must for the vivid, colorful images we love to see. Hubble's cameras capture a wide range of wavelengths, visible and invisible, giving scientists information beyond what we could see with our eyes. Color images are created with the help of filters that only let light from specific wavelengths pass through. For example, in this image of barred spiral galaxy NGC 1097, a filter at the 555-nanometer wavelength lets green light pass through. Filters yield a grayscale image showing only the amount of light with that wavelength, allowing astronomers to add color when processing the image. Learn more about this galaxy and how Hubble teams process images at the link in our bio!

20 years after the first human spaceflight, a new era of human spaceflight began! #OTD in 1981, the Space Shuttle Columbia (STS-1) launched into orbit from @NASAKennedy. This marked the first spaceflight of the Space Shuttle program! Learn more: https://t.co/Jvlr4RoyOw https://t.co/BiriWTrxPw
