We flew right over the top of Hurricane Beryl today. Peering down into the eye with the 50 to 500 mm lens gave me both an eerie feeling and a high level of weather nerd excitement. Whole Hurricane: 50mm, f9, ISO 1000, 1/32000 Eye: 210mm (50 to 500m lens), f13, ISO 1000, 1/26000

CHAPEA's 4-person crew just exited their home after 378 days. ✅ They simulated a Mars mission to help assess health and performance in relation to Mars-realistic resource limitations in isolation and confinement. The door is officially open and the mission is complete. Congrats

Liftoff, #Ariane6! What a giant leap forward for @ESA with the first launch of its powerful, next-generation rocket—and with a NASA Sun & Space scientific instrument onboard. Together with our international partners, we are leading a new era of space exploration.

Getting ready for flight 5!

Humanity is returning to the lunar surface, and Gateway Lunar Space Station will help us stay there! Here's a look at Gateway's HALO—one of four modules where teams of astronauts will live and conduct science as they orbit the Moon. go.nasa.gov/462pwvd

Milestone moment🚀 The mighty SLS core stage for #Artemis II is preparing for its journey to Florida, marking a pivotal moment in the NASA Artemis campaign. How does a giant stage come together? Watch how teams build and assemble the Moon rocket stage>> go.nasa.gov/3Y2CJCo

Excited for a suit fit check in preparation for Artemis II back up mission!

Core Stage for Artemis II is on the roll from the Michoud Assembly Facility . Next stop…. NASA's Kennedy Space Center and then on to the Moon!!

The rich history of geology training for NASA Astronauts continues through NASA Artemis! Astronaut candidates receive classroom and field training during their first two years at NASA and continue their studies after graduating to astronauts. Once they are assigned to a

The Eagle has landed. This day will forever be etched in history as we celebrate the 55th anniversary of humans walking on the Moon.  #NASA #InternationalMoonDay #MoonLanding #Apollo11

We recently received some fresh fruit via Прогресс and Cygnus cargo vehicles. We celebrate every bite with these infrequent treats.

Une expérience incroyable dans le parc national du Vatnajökull, en Islande. Un endroit idéal pour une formation de géologie lunaire lunaire avec mes coéquipiers. asc-csa.gc.ca/fra/actualites…

The moon setting over the Pacific. Went to the cupola to shoot Tropical Storm Hone near Hawaii but right after we passed by the storm the moon started to set. 400mm, ISO 500, 1/20000s shutter speed, f2.8, cropped, denoised.

Dry dress rehearsal and static fire complete! Next stop: SPACE

🚀 Jonny Kim is going to International Space Station! He's set to launch on Soyuz MS-27 in March 2025.

.@astro_Jeremy and his Artemis II crewmates, including Canadian backup @astro_Jenni and NASA backup @astro_AndreD, embarked on a lunar geology training adventure in Iceland. 🌋 Discover how this prepares them for the Moon! asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/news/artic… Photo: NASA/Robert Markowitz
