We weren't really trying to capture the sun during last week's #SolarEclipse, but I have to say, this shot during totality with the sun in it is SICK! Look closely! ๐Ÿ˜ olhzn.com/22

The SpaceX Recovery team is still working to recover Flight 13โ€™s Starship from the Indian Ocean. Theyโ€™ve been overcoming challenging conditions and increasingly rough seas as they attempt to guide the 52m long spacecraft to port

Eight years ago today, we flew OLHZN-14. Flawless main and micro computers, excellent landing prediction, and guest payloads aboard. One of those flights that reminds me how much the little systems matter when everything comes together. overlookhorizon.com/flight-1โ€ฆ

This is one of those simple NASA outreach things that I love. Roman is going to give us a much wider view of the universe than Hubble can, and you can put your name on the spacecraft before it heads out toward L2.
Get ready to send your name a MILLION MILES AWAY!! Submit your name to be added to a memory card that will fly on the Roman Space Telescope this year to Lagrange point 2, the same location as @NASAWebb. go.nasa.gov/RomanNames Submissions close July 12th.

Atlas V 551 has a wild resume. New Horizons to Pluto. Juno to Jupiter. Heavy commercial missions. And now one more Amazon Leo launch before ULA shifts those flights to Vulcan. Specific rocket configurations have histories too. The "Bruiser" earned its nickname.

Hearing that Blue Originโ€™s other New Glenn first stage booster, Never Tell Me The Odds, has been damaged. It was inside the nearby HIF facility.

I was excited to see Blue Origin return to flight, but this is a lot worse than the second stage failure, there's towers from the pad visibly missing.

The hydraulic pin holding the tower arm in place did not retract. If that can be fixed tonight, there will be another launch attempt tomorrow at 5:30 CT.

Well, I was going to stream this tonight, but it's been so long that my streaming PC got angry and died. I think I've narrowed it down to either the PSU or NVME drive that died. If it's the PSU, I *might* be able to swap that fast enough to still give it a try. We'll see. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ โ€“ at Victor, NY
On track for todayโ€™s Starship flight test. The launch window is from 5:30 p.m. CT โ€“ 7 p.m. CT and live coverage starts ~45 minutes before launch

Only one chance in this lifetimeโ€ฆ Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldnโ€™t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the viewโ€ฆthis is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
