Large water sphere in 0g. This sphere is the size of my head and when hit with a puff of air, shows surprising dynamics due to the diminishing role of surface tension as diameter increases. Video 3X slower from Exp 30 in 2012

Today in 1945, Boeing B-29 Superfortress "Enola Gay" dropped atomic bomb “Little Boy” on Hiroshima, Japan. It was the first time an atomic weapon was used in combat.

Spotlight on samples: these two Mars rock cores were the first I got from the ancient river formation here at Jezero Crater. They’re from an area that scientists think could be a top prospect for finding signs of ancient microbial life on Mars. Meet Samples No. 10 and 11:

Rock on! Or...off? After last year's #DARTMission, when @NASA intentionally crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid, Hubble has been observing the aftermath. This Hubble image shows a few dozen boulders knocked off the asteroid by the collision: go.nasa.gov/44TUlQK

Happy Moon Landing Day. 54 years ago today we started the job of becoming an interplanetary species. Hopefully we finish that job in the coming years.

About this time next year, it will be Artemis III, the first mission to land Humans on the moon since 1972, in this position. NASA has stepped up to the plate for their most ambitious program to date, and is ready to drive it home.

Orion's #Artemis II @ESA service module assembly is nearing completion! It was moved into the Final Assembly and System Testing (FAST) Cell at @NASAKennedy, where it will be integrated with the crew module before being handed over to @NASAGroundSys for fueling.
