I am an astronaut conducting an EVA. My face itches. What do I do? Please send help.

Do I just have to wait until I’m back in the ISS? Or can I slide my arms into my suit and reach up into my helmet?

Can you help figure out my wedding date?

Hello everyone! I'm an avid amateur star gazer and so is my dad. I'm getring married and I tentatively picked the date as August 10 2024. I'm going to book the venue this week as an airbnb in the mountains where we can stargaze. I picked the date to try to be close to the meteor shower that peaks on the 13. Can anyone please help me figure out what planets would be visible that night and what phase of the moon there would be? I really really wanted to plan the wedding for the night of the meteor shower peak but it looks like it will be on a Tuesday that year. But if there is another cool Celestial event in August that I'm missing I could switch the date to that. Thank you so much

NASA’s historic spacewalk today. Where to watch the broadcast?

SpaceX and NASA have a plan to extend the life of Hubble by docking a crewed Dragon vehicle to boost its orbit. Hubble is ready. In 2009 the final Shuttle service mission left a docking mechanism, and the last person to work on that mission in orbit was Megan McArthur who also flew on SpaceX Crew 2.
