Production of a homemade observatory.

For the first time, @NASAHubble astronomers saw a white dwarf star siphoning off debris from the inner and outer reaches of its system—giving us insight into the interior makeup of other planets. https://t.co/xmhqJH8Tdz https://t.co/ZXUSnnt7L5

Fingerling…rocks? I spotted these odd shapes while I was exploring. They likely formed billions of years ago when groundwater moved through, leaving minerals behind. In the Martian atmosphere, winds eroded the softer parts and left the harder bits behind. https://t.co/XKbiJuUMEC https://t.co/U091p6DOf1

Charon, moon of Pluto, observed by NASA's New Horizons probe on this day in 2015.

Thanks to NASA Astronaut @astro_kjell for helping us celebrate NASA's 12 EXPRESS Racks reaching 1 million hours of totaled powered time on June 14! 🎉 These racks have supported hundreds of science experiments on the @Space_Station. 🔬 https://t.co/ZnWVHqyRnr

The station hummed with @ISS_Research today as the Exp 67 crew explored the effects of space on the human body, autonomous robotic free flyers, and how fuel behaves in weightlessness. https://t.co/NL5UMKZKtT

A very dusty M81 & M82

Do you have what it takes to pilot #Starliner? Take a closer look inside the Starliner crew module in the #Gateway complex at #KennedySpaceCenter. The mock-up was used by our engineers and @NASA_Astronauts to bring Starliner from computer drawings to a successful #OFT2 mission. https://t.co/ljpAe3A48P

A @NASA sounding rocket will carry student experiments to suborbital space, including 80 @CubesInSpace experiments developed by middle and high school students. The launch is scheduled for Thursday, June 23, at 5:30 a.m. EDT. Live coverage begins 20 minutes before launch. https://t.co/vTMqjLrGMw
