A big NASA nerd who incessantly retweets almost anything space-related...from Artemis and JWST to Sagittarius A* and exoplanets. Ad astra! (I don't read DMs.)

Blue Ghost and the #PyramidOnTheMoon have arrived at the lunar surface!
This is the second mission (behind Intuitive Machines' IM-1 over a year ago) to put my name and message on the Moon. Much thanks to @fireflyspace and @goLifeShip for this amazing opportunity!

Got to see Space Shuttle Endeavour a little early thanks to being a @casciencecenter member. The Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center is an absolutely phenomenal experience. 10/10

I will always remember the day NASA came to town. Definitely a top 3 day since I’ve gotten into this hobby 1.5 years ago!

Night time lapse, Indonesia to North of Japan. A very lively atmosphere up high, with dizzying human activity down low. Blue lights are fishing trawlers hard at work.

On this day in 1993, Space Shuttle Columbia touched down to conclude STS-58, landing two weeks after lift-off. At the time, STS-58 was NASA's longest space shuttle mission to date.

We're back for round two of exploring the hidden gems in our own Milky Way galaxy! 🌌💎
Astrophotographer @space.by.jase takes us from a sweeping view of the southern Milky Way to some of the incredible treasures hiding within it.
From the Omega Nebula (M17) to the Trifid Nebula (M20), Lagoon Nebula (M8), and more, these stellar nurseries are filled with glowing gas, intricate dust clouds, and newly forming stars.
Captured with a Celestron EdgeHD 8" telescope, these close-ups reveal just how much there is to discover within our galactic home.
Swipe through to uncover the next round of hidden gems! 🔭

NASA's Dragonfly recently completed its first simulated test flight! 🚁
This "flight" was performed on a computer testbed at the Johns Hopkins APL, and incorporated many systems and maneuvers the rotorcraft will employ when it arrives at Titan.

It seems like the rumors were indeed true!! SLC-46 is now being leased to Blue Origin as the Space Force shifts to building SLC-51 for its missile tests.
This pad will most likely be used in the future for New Glenn 9x4, since it was listed for lease for Superheavy-Class Vehicles.
The Blue Empires grows!

🚨 NASA'S X-59 QUIET SUPERSONIC JET JUST FLEW!
That insane needle nose is 1/3 of the entire aircraft, no front window, pilot flies on 4K cameras via XVS.
Designed to break Mach 1 with no sonic boom, just a 75dB thump. This is how NASA plans to bring back supersonic flight over land. ✈️🔇

Happy Dark Matter Day from the #DarkUniverse detective, @ESA_Euclid !
Earlier this year, scientists published this first demonstration that Euclid can trace massive structures dominated by usually invisible dark matter.
