🔭 Things are looking up! 🌌 Meet Westerlund 2. The glittering tapestry of young stars flaring to life in this NASAHubble image resembles an exploding aerial shell in a fireworks display. The stellar nursery is difficult to observe, because it is enshrouded in dust. But Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 peered through the dusty veil in near-infrared light, giving astronomers a clearer view of the nebula. Hubble’s sharp vision resolves the dense concentration of stars in the central cluster, which measures about 6 to 13 light-years across. The giant star cluster is only about 2 million years young and contains some of our galaxy’s hottest, brightest, and most massive stars known to us on Earth!

When the #Artemis I mission flies around the Moon later this year, there won’t be any astronauts aboard. But there will be a very important passenger: a manikin. The manikin will record vibrations during the mission from the @NASA_Orion commander's seat: https://t.co/WWm39raG1r https://t.co/eDnR1oohL5

🧑‍🚀 LIVE NOW: Astronauts @Astro_Kimbrough & @Thom_Astro are getting ready for two spacewalks to upgrade the @Space_Station solar arrays on Wed, June 16 & Sun, June 20. Join us for a sneak peek of what’s to come! Have questions? Use #AskNASA: https://t.co/z1RgZwQkWS https://t.co/ohYCLtefvK

This Starship render of SN15's descent is crazy! 🤯 Who's ready for Starship to go orbital? . Credit to ryanhansenspace on twitter for the great work! .

Gwynne Shotwell is an amazing inspiration to us all in this video, you can see Shotwell, walking past an infographic of Starship Super Heavy’s engine layouts and a countdown of 25 days ⏳, at SpaceX Hawthorne CA.

The station's current set of solar arrays are several years old and Heartie1990 asks, "How long are the new solar arrays made to last?" #AskNASA https://t.co/78doY6QKXx
