What are siblings for! ✨ @NASAHubble captures a bickering set of galactic triplets engaging in a gravitational tug of war. This system is featured in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, a list which showcases unique galaxies in the universe. Discover more: https://t.co/wIRyxyOGUQ https://t.co/vC6aYetOs5

50 years ago today, at the end of their second EVA (extravehicular activity), the Apollo 15 astronauts set up an American flag on the Moon. A crossbar at the top gives the flag the appearance of flying in the wind. #Apollo50 https://t.co/IbBBzhgZqR

If you use a telescope much you're probably familiar with Lyra overhead, harboring Vega, the Double-Double, and the Ring Nebula. And nearby is Albireo, the beak of Cygnus. But between Albireo and Lyra, what about the much-overlooked globular cluster M56? https://t.co/prW6YSllMX https://t.co/yyOUkoSpPs

Shared CPU

In 2009 a Technical College Computer Science instructor told the class, “There’s a free program from NASA that people can install on their home PC’s. This program allows NASA to use our unused CPU power to help with complex calculations on a larger shared scale. “ Is this a legitimate statement; and if so, what was the project called?

Our ECOSTRESS instrument on the @Space_Station is aiding in the fight against fires in the Western U.S. Researchers have been experimenting with its data as part of a new tool now being implemented for first responders: https://t.co/wIU9io8X25 https://t.co/8OuEHqtGbd

Any Sources where I can get a to scale radio, infrared or x-ray images of NGC224?

For my high school project I am trying to predict the rotation curve of ngc224. For that I need to know the dimensions of the bulge of the galaxy. Since there is a black hole in the bulge and there is a lot of gas, the bulge should be more luminous than the disc. I would estimate the dimentions of the bulge using a legend that shows that "these many pixels is these many arc seconds or parsecs" if provided. I would be forever thankful of you.

The LAS will accelerate the astronauts away from the rest of Orion at 17 G's for 2 seconds. They will be laying on their backs so it won't cause them to black out but it won't be comfortable. Credit: NASA/Northrop Grumman
