G’Day Mate 🪃⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 264 Miles above Earth, a crew member of the ISS, captures the Sun as its rays burst above Sharks Bay, off the coast of Western Australia.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The space station travels 4.76 miles (7.66 km) per second, which allows the crew aboard to see 16 sunsets and sunrises in a day! Though being an astronaut isn’t all about the stellar views, the crew aboard the orbiting laboratory also conducts many science and technological experiments that benefit humanity. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Want to learn when the space station will fly over your neighborhood Visit SpotTheStation.nasa.gov⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Credit: NASA⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Alt Text: Earth in both day and night. The day portion is seen as a thin strip of blue and white that crosses this image diagonally. Above and to the left is the Sun, a bright circle with jets of light streaming in all directions. The blackness of night still holds in the lower right. #Space #NASA #ISS #Sunrise #Australia #SpaceStation #EarthViews #NASAAstronauts #Atmosphere

Did you ever assemble a model kit on your dining room table? Putting together a spacecraft isn't quite that simple! 🚀 On today's #GoddardMiniTour episode, we're visiting the High Bay Clean Room — a 1.3 million-cubic-foot facility that provides a super-clean, climate-controlled space for building and testing spacecraft and instruments. Part of nasawebb was assembled and tested here too! Visit the link in our bio to watch the whole Goddard Tour video and learn more about the high bay.
