As they orbited above Earth early in the morning on Feb. 26, 2023, NASA astronauts Josh Cassada, Nicole Mann, and JAXA astronaut Koichi Wakata spotted these glowing auroras from the cupola of the International Space Station. Cassada and Mann captured this time-lapse video of the Northern Lights a day later. Listen to Cassada describe the experience in an interview conducted on the station. Credit: NASA

2024 NASA Artemis II Simulation This should give you a rough idea of what it would be like when we sling-shot the moon with a science-fiction landing I added. astronauts and cosmonauts are traditionally removed from the capsules. —NASA is targeting a 2024 launch date for #nasa #Artemis II. Audio is from the Apollo program.

This artist’s rendering illustrates new findings about a star shredded by a black hole. When a star wanders too close to a black hole, intense tidal forces rip the star apart. In these events, called “tidal disruptions,” some of the stellar debris is flung outward at high speed while the rest falls toward the black hole. This causes a distinct X-ray flare that can last for a few years. NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, Swift Gamma-ray Burst Explorer, and ESA/NASA’s XMM-Newton collected different pieces of this astronomical puzzle in a tidal disruption event called ASASSN-14li, which was found in an optical search by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) in November 2014. The event occurred near a supermassive black hole estimated to weigh a few million times the mass of the sun in the center of PGC 043234, a galaxy that lies about 290 million light-years away. Astronomers hope to find more events like ASASSN-14li to test theoretical models about how black holes affect their environments.

We’ve taken giant leaps and left our mark in the heavens. Now we’re building the next chapter, returning to the Moon to stay, and preparing to go beyond. We are NASA – and after 60 years, we’re just getting started. Special thanks to Mike Rowe for the voiceover work.
