Mission Complete Celebrating the Return of NASA's SpaceX Crew-4. The astronauts of Crew-4 have undocked from the International Space Station and are on their way home to Earth. Watch live with NASA as the Dragon spacecraft Freedom reenters the atmosphere and splashes down off the coast of Florida. Splashdown is targeted for 4:55 p.m. EDT (2055 UTC), Friday, Oct. 14. NASA astronauts Kjell Lindgren, Jessica Watkins, Bob Hines, and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti spent five and a half months living and working aboard the orbiting laboratory. During their stay, they contributed to a number of experiments to expand our understanding of space while benefitting life on Earth: #Crew4Homecoming, #SpaceXReturn, #MissionComplete, #NASAHomecoming, #Crew4Celebration, #SpaceXReentry, #AstronautsReturn, #MissionAccomplished, #Crew4Triumph, #SpaceXCelebration, #NASAReunion, #Crew4MissionComplete, #SpaceXSuccess, #Crew4Homebound, #WelcomeBackCrew4

Embarking on Discovery: Science Aboard Northrop Grumman's CRS-18 Mission. The 18th Northrop Grumman commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station carries scientific investigations of topics such as 3D printing of knee cartilage, plant mutations, and mudflow structure—along with a demonstration of camera technology and small satellites from Japan, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. The Cygnus spacecraft carrying these investigations to the orbiting laboratory is scheduled for liftoff no earlier than Nov. 6, 2022 from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia. #CRS18ScienceQuest, #SpaceStationScience, #EmbarkingOnDiscovery, #NorthropGrummanMission, #CosmicExploration, #ScienceInSpace, #CRS18ScientificMission, #CosmicDiscovery, #SpaceScienceAdventure, #ExploringTheUnknown, #CRS18ScientificJourney, #SpaceStationExploration, #ScienceOdyssey, #CosmicResearch, #CRS18SpaceMission

NEOWISE Illuminating the Universe's Transformations. New time-lapse movies from NASA’s NEOWISE mission give astronomers the opportunity to see objects, like stars and black holes, as they move and change over time. The videos include previously hidden brown dwarfs, a feeding black hole, a dying star, a star-forming region, and a brightening star. They combine more than 10 years of NEOWISE observations and 18 all-sky images, enabling a long-term analysis and a deeper understanding of the universe. 0:44 – NEOWISE all-sky scan animation 1:03 – Feeding black hole 1:14 – Pulsing star reaches the end of its life 1:21 – Protostars in star-forming region 1:34 – Brown dwarf moves across the sky 2:00 – Unexplained stellar brightening The NEOWISE mission uses a space telescope to hunt for asteroids and comets, including those that could pose a threat to Earth. Launched in December 2009 as the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, the space telescope was originally designed to survey the sky in infrared, detecting asteroids, stars and some of the faintest galaxies in space. WISE did so successfully until completing its primary mission in February 2011. #NEOWISEUniverse, #CosmicIllumination, #StarryRevelations, #NEOWISEInsights, #UniverseChanges, #CosmicTransformation, #NEOWISEReveals, #AstronomyDiscoveries, #CelestialShifts, #NEOWISEExploration, #CosmicEvolution, #SpaceObservations, #NEOWISEImpact, #CosmicDiscovery, #UnveilingTheStars

Hurricane Intensity Unveiled Insights from a NASA Scientist. Are hurricanes getting stronger? Although we’ll never see a Category 6 hurricane, data does show that more hurricanes are becoming more severe. Hurricane and climate expert Mara Cordero-Fuentes of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center tells us more about the connection between climate change and tropical cyclones. #HurricaneInsights, #NASAWeatherWatch, #StormScience, #ClimateAnalysis, #HurricaneIntensity, #NASAExpertise, #WeatherTrends, #ClimateResearch, #StormWatch, #NASAExplains, #ClimateImpact, #ScienceBehindStorms, #WeatherKnowledge, #NASAInvestigates, #HurricaneResearch.

Crash Landing Countdown NASA's Mars Touchdown Trials We’re testing a new way of landing on Mars… by crashing into its surface. The Simplified High Impact Energy Landing Device (SHIELD) is a lander concept being tested at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). It could one day provide a new way for low-cost missions to land on Mars. Rather than rely on parachutes or retrorockets, SHIELD would include a collapsible, accordion-like base to absorb the energy of a landing. A full-size prototype of the base was tested on Aug. 12, 2022. The prototype was hurled at the ground from the top of a nearly 90-foot-tall (27-meter-tall) drop tower at JPL. A steel plate ensured the impact was even harder than what would be experienced on Mars. The design worked: After crushing against the steel plate at 110 mph (177 kph), several electronic components inside the SHIELD prototype, including a smartphone, survived the impact.

Now NASA is testing a new inflatable heat shield technology that could allow us to carry even larger payloads to worlds with atmospheres.

Exploring Sprites in the Electric Sky II Beyond the Storm: Adventures in Chasing Sprites Paul Smith is a night-sky fanatic and photographer. His obsession is sprites: immense jolts of light that flicker high above thunderstorms. Last October, he guided NASA scientist Dr. Burcu Kosar through the backroads of Oklahoma to catch one herself. #ElectricSkySprites, #SkyExploration, #SpriteHunt, #CelestialWonders, #SkyPhenomenon, #SparklingSkies, #MysticalSprites, #SkyScience, #AtmosphericMarvels, #SpriteDiscovery, #CosmicPhenomena, #SkySpectacle, #SpriteAdventure, #ElectrifyingViews, #SkyMysteries
