Black hole - 4K animation by me, 2022

8:12 pm, NYC Time Sunday, May 29, 2022 Monday, May 30, 2022 Crowds gather. Traffic halts. Cross streets glisten with fiery orange light, rendering otherwise-shadowed urban canyons aglow. Behold sunset on the Manhattan grid. Behold #Manhattanhenge. https://t.co/l0tus96gqp

A little late to the party, but so grateful to have celebrated my birthday with my Expedition 67 crewmates earlier this month. The cake may look simple, but assembling (and keeping assembled!) all those layers in microgravity was a delicious feat by @astro_kjell. https://t.co/DrG7U4d1rr

On this day in 1917, John F. Kennedy was born. President Kennedy set the course to #Apollo11, issuing the challenge in 1961 to land a man on the Moon and return him safely to Earth "before the decade is out." 📷: JFK with astronaut Alan Shepard https://t.co/Xni19CbjDr

85 years ago today, the Grumman G-21 Goose completed its first test flight. The G-21 was designed as an "air yacht" for wealthy New York businessmen, so they could commute from their homes on Long Island to their Manhattan offices. https://t.co/ND0YML3akw

Did you guess the F/A-18 High Alpha Research Vehicle (HARV), last flown at @NASAArmstrong #OTD in 1996? Smoke generators and yarn tufts were used for flow visualization study in high angle-of-attack flight. Its many innovations significantly increased aircraft maneuverability. https://t.co/FrTE5wKMth
