When the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano erupted in January 2022, it affected the world... and space. Hurricane-speed winds and unusual electric currents formed in the ionosphere. https://t.co/VviDIFbFay 📷: NASA, NOAA, NESDIS https://t.co/9jwLMvy1bT

Raptor RUD on the test stand in McGregor. Second one in two days, but also the first RUDs we have captured over the last month or so. SpaceX is firing Raptors several times a day, continually pushing the engines to better understand the limits. https://t.co/hP71nca6af https://t.co/9QpKkV5K0T

With great power, comes great responsibility 🕸 NASAHubble captured a supernova remnant (SNR) 160,000 light-years from Earth, rupturing the ambient gas clouds around the former star. SNRs play a vital role in our understanding of the universe, as they can both create the building blocks of our universe and change its ecology. Supernovas are the last hurrah of a massive dying star; they occur when the star's fuel runs out. The immense gravitational forces cause the star to collapse so quickly that it explodes. Supernovas are seen as the universe’s factories, creating elements, planets, and even stars.

This past week, @Astro_FarmerBob helped process samples for the Food Physiology study! This @Space_Station experiment examines the effects of an enhanced spaceflight diet on immune function, the gut microbiome, and more. https://t.co/V8bKg9yCec https://t.co/mv5n3EIrzz

Hazel Ying Lee, born and educated in Oregon, was the first Chinese American woman to earn a pilot’s license and fly for the U.S. military, as one of two Chinese Americans in the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP). #AAPIHeritageMonth https://t.co/CmxlePMguS

Sending out Earth's location with the hope of reaching aliens is a controversial idea. These scientists are doing it anyway. https://t.co/c65UA4G3ZN https://t.co/2bdFL6i9Dq

NASA's first female astronauts was chosen in 1978. Do you know which one of them was the first to do a spacewalk? https://t.co/KX7Q07Y8aU

The window to the world. The @Space_Station’s cupola and the laptop housed inside are crucial tools for the astronauts to capture imagery of Earth requested by scientists back on the ground. https://t.co/0pV4uwAibR

Two less Raptor 2s in the World - 2nd apparent RUD within 24hrs

Just like the "Six Million Dollar Man," the M2-F2 was rebuilt—as our M2-F3. The lifting body programs tested the concept of achieving aerodynamic lift from just the shape of wingless craft, a concept used in designing the Space Shuttle: https://t.co/fntOfeDvDH #AirSpacePhoto https://t.co/NTd9z5SacR
