Data from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on International Space Station has led to precise behavioral measurements of deuterons, proton-neutron pairs found in cosmic rays. These findings advance the search for dark matter and deepen an understanding of the universe. doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe…

Do you see how International Space Station deploys CubeSats? Very demure. Very mindful. These satellites look very cubes-y in the Earth’s orbit. Developed by educational, government, and private groups, CubeSats are designed to further science and technology across many disciplines.

Sweet dreams, International Space Station😴 An @ESA study tests a new LED system that could help astronauts maintain circadian rhythms by mimicking Earth’s natural lighting. Circadian Light studies how lighting impacts the crew’s overall sleep, stress, and well-being. go.nasa.gov/46QxSX2

Stars, planets, and other observables account for 5% of the universe’s known mass. Little is known about the rest: dark matter, antimatter, and dark energy. The Alpha-Magnetic Spectrometer mounted outside International Space Station helps researchers learn more: go.nasa.gov/4cRAYvA
