The @SpaceX #Crew4 mission is targeted to undock from the station no earlier than 11:35am ET on Friday with a splashdown at 4:50pm off the Florida coast weather permitting. https://t.co/HiLGwkoHsN

Low gravity on @Space_Station can cause blood & spinal fluid to shift toward the head, leading to vision changes in astronauts. For #WorldSightDay, learn more about this condition, known as SANS: https://t.co/tjZPSfkRuX https://t.co/FOuH7B1DQV

The pulse of X-rays from this burst was also caught by the OHMAN rapid-response system on the @Space_Station. @JAXA_en’s MAXI experiment spotted the burst and automatically alerted our NICER telescope to take a deeper look. Learn more about OHMAN: https://t.co/PCd428BfXq https://t.co/uEWY4RZL4A

Anyone know the name of the circled star system? It's always in the same place above my house.

Our #LucyMission will fly past the Earth at about 7am ET (1100 UTC) this Sunday, Oct. 16—and it'll be close enough to spot from parts of Australia and the western United States! If you'll be watching, share your photos with the #WaveToLucy hashtag: https://t.co/fgu8yfgAbZ https://t.co/1iwhgEupOJ

.@NASA’s EMIT experiment aboard the @Space_station has produced its first mineral maps! They provide detailed images that show the composition of the surface in regions of northwest Nevada and Libya in the Sahara Desert. Read more 👓: https://t.co/acD36IhoBx https://t.co/fymoTJQZjn

I made this JWST image using data from the LMC Astrometric Field. full res in comments

For #EarthScienceWeek let's go back to 1 of @NASA's first Earth science missions. Explorer 7 launched #OTD in 1959 to measure not only the Sun's electromagnetic rays, but also the UV and IR rays reflected by Earth. It took the first Earth radiation budget measurements from space! https://t.co/1EOcBnykEV
