1 week left to name a space mission 🚀
Greece’s 1st #astronaut mission to the #ISS, with @esa and @VAST, needs a name!
▶️ youtube.com/shorts/ufLVo__C9…
Send your idea to the Hellenic Space Center until 30 October:

Got a clever name for a #spaceflight?!
The Hellenic Space Center is gathering suggestions for the name of Greece’s first #astronaut mission to the #ISS, flown with #ESA and #VAST.
Open to all. Deadline 30 October.

Q&A from the team during our first week of training with @VAST in California.
Commander @Thom_astro 🇫🇷, pilot @Aleš Svoboda 🇨🇿 and I 🇬🇷 took questions about the mission ahead: VAST-PAM-1.
Three astronauts, three countries, three languages - one crew. And one objective. @esa
(1/4) This star's name has a special story.
NAVI, at the peak of Cassiopeia's W. It looks like it belongs there, next to the ancient names of Deneb and Alpheratz.
It does not. It is barely 60 years old. 🧵
(3/4) 🔭 All three made it onto @NASA's list of 37 navigation stars.
Back then the star tracker on an Apollo spacecraft was a human eye at a sextant! The crew found one of these stars, centred it, marked it for the computer. They had to recognise the sky themselves.

(4/4) 📷 I ran into this star map on my first week of astronaut training at @NASAJohnson Space Center Quite the welcoming!

(1/5) After last week's nebulae, 3 objects that together tell the whole life cycle of a star 🔭✨
All from the dark skies of the French Pyrenees.
Thread 👇
(4/5) The end 💍 The #RingNebula (M57), ~2,300 light years away in Lyra.
A star much like our Sun reached the end of its life and shed its outer layers. A white dwarf remains at the centre. In ~5 billion years, our own Sun will do the same.
(5/5) 🔬Why do astronomy? Because by studying how other stars behave, we learn the future of our own.

(1/4) Summer is never complete without the sea, and #astrophotography 🔭✨
From the dark skies of the French Pyrenees, a few jewels of the night sky. A thread 👇
(3/4) The #BubbleNebula (NGC 7635) 🫧 — a cosmic bubble ~10 light years across, blown by a massive star in Cassiopeia, ~7,100 light years from Earth.

🔬 Nebulae tell us how stars form & end. The carbon, oxygen and nitrogen in our bodies were forged in stellar explosions. #Astronomy is the deepest #origin #story we share.
