The tiny pink dot in the center of this image is a magnetar — a type of neutron star with the most powerful known magnetic fields in the Universe. If a magnetar was located a sixth of the way to the Moon (~64,000 km), it would wipe the data from all of the credit cards on Earth! The strength of Earth's magnetic field has a value of about 1 Gauss, while a refrigerator magnet measures about 100 Gauss. Magnetars have magnetic fields of about a million billion Gauss.🤯 📱Want this #magnetar #pic as a #background #wallpaper for your phone or tablet? The link is in our bio!

Microbes are everywhere! 🦠 They may not be visible to the human eye, but microorganisms have a huge influence on our lives. Humans need some to survive, while others are disease-causing pathogens. Therefore, it’s important for us to identify, monitor, and study these tiny organisms. Researchers are using the International Space Station as testing grounds to study microbes and how to keep astronauts safe during long-duration missions. Benefit 3: Microbial studies on the space station are helping us understand microbial behavior, opening new areas of research, and streamlining microbiology processes which could support hospitals by optimizing cleanliness and turnaround time.

The hatch on nasa Orion is now closed in the Vehicle Assembly Building at nasakennedy . The Artemis I deep space spacecraft will soon travel 64,000 kilometers beyond the far side of the Moon, farther than any other human rated vehicle ever has!

Booster 7 single engine Spin Prime test it would appear. So that's two Ship 24 six engine Spin Primes and one Booster 7 single engine Spin Prime. https://t.co/iIIwRuaZce https://t.co/x4x3oH0c5N

Quote "While photographing the Andromeda galaxy in 2016, near the peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower, a small pebble from deep space crossed right in front of our Milky Way Galaxy's far-distant companion. The small meteor took only a fraction of a second to pass through this 10-degree field" . Tag the.astronomy.daily to feature your photos!

The sixth of nine sections for SpaceX's Starship orbital launch pad in Florida is moving across the Kennedy Space Center tonight on the way to pad 39A for stacking. Watch live: https://t.co/86oZVKaY4A https://t.co/T1Z3u7cMY4

Today in 1908, Wilbur Wright made the first public flight of a Wright airplane in Europe, dispelling doubts of the Wrights' achievement: https://t.co/JocUNDzi8F https://t.co/L94isFbmox

Riding a 96-wheel self-propelled transporter, the sixth segment of SpaceX's Starship launch pad tower rolled by the Vehicle Assembly Building tonight on the way to the construction site at Launch Complex 39A. Continuing coverage: https://t.co/86oZVKaY4A https://t.co/mIJ5PPHU31

SpaceX is transporting another section of its Starship launch pad tower to Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center tonight. Watch live: https://t.co/86oZVKaY4A https://t.co/d18XPaSTar

And another one for B7. That's four Spin Prime tests in total this window for those keeping count. https://t.co/Hi9RGKE41y
