One of my favorite shots. I call it "Lone tree under the stars"

Round and round we go… Let yourself be whisked away by the Whirlpool Galaxy’s curving arms, pink star-forming regions, and brilliant blue strands of star clusters. Explore #GalaxiesGalore with @NASAHubble on @Tumblr: https://t.co/F2kzCVAYBt https://t.co/zVUKShxrEB

NASA's InSight Mars lander captured this image of one of its dust-covered solar panels on April 24, 2022, the 1,211th Martian day, or sol, of the mission.

Hundreds of galaxies reside within the core of galaxy cluster Abell 370, located ~4 billion light-years away from Earth. In this sonification, sound waves are generated based on the brightness and position of the cosmic objects: https://t.co/qj4SNEJJ16 #GalaxiesGalore https://t.co/clvheu9M6Y

#Starliner has entered a planned quiescent phase while docked to the @space_station, which means its systems were powered down just like they would be during a long-duration mission. 📷: @AstroSamantha https://t.co/YuS53J59kk

Yep. It’s a matter of time. Tick-tock, Putin. https://t.co/tw5qIeqPlZ

110 years ago today, First Lt Alfred A. Cunningham reported for flight training, marking the birth of Marine Corps Aviation. This photograph of him is from 1914. https://t.co/hR7DcdKpks

#OTD in 1995, a rare astronomical alignment was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. Saturn's ring system was turned edge-on, which occurs when the Earth passes through the planet’s ring plane approximately every 15 years. : https://t.co/6UOt3xt4Ol https://t.co/cX9NIucpaG

We love seeing #Starliner through your eyes, whether your feet are planted on Earth or you are floating aboard the International Space Station. Thanks to everyone who has shared photos of #OFT2. https://t.co/ZpcmiatsYf

Analog space technology is not for the faint of heart. 😰 https://t.co/1A0rqI0izU https://t.co/Wp21EQwWmE

Arp 147 is an interacting pair of galaxies, a spiral galaxy (right) and an elliptical galaxy (left), that appear to mark the number 10. It is about 115,000 light-years across and lies some 430 million light-years away in the constellation Cetus.

Martian surface frost, made up largely of carbon dioxide, appears blueish-white in these images from the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) camera aboard NASA's 2001 Odyssey orbiter.

The Moon rises around 2 a.m. tonight in dim Aquarius, with Saturn now glowing about a fist and a half to its upper right. By Monday's early dawn the Moon and Saturn are higher in the southeast, forming a big triangle with Fomalhaut very low below them. https://t.co/lhcDmN6DWB https://t.co/kZztonta75
