Is the International Space Station the size of a football field, or is a football field the size of the International Space Station?
@NASAAstronauts@LoralOhara and @AstroJaws are here with your reminder about just how big the orbiting laboratory is, and to talk about the similarities between training for space travel and training for the Big Game.
Spoiler: It’s all about teamwork.

Твърди се, че поради т.нар. „топлинно разширяване“ Айфеловата кула може да е по-висока през лятото. 🧐 #uchase #funfacts #weirdfacts #unbelievablefacts #crazyfacts
Happy Lunar New Year 🐲
Welcome to the year of the Dragon. In this three-dimensional view of the Orion Nebula – Earth’s closest star-formation nursery – was created using data from the SOFIA mission. It reveals detailed structure of the nebula, including a “bubble” that has been blown clear of gas and dust by a powerful stellar wind. In this way, massive stars can regulate star formation around them, and SOFIA helped astronomers better understand this effect.
The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) was a mission of discovery, revealing unseen – and sometimes unseeable – parts of our universe. While science flights have ended, SOFIA’s data from a total of 732 nights observing over the course of the mission are publicly available for scientists to study and conduct further research in the future.
Image Description: A rotating three-dimensional view of the Orion Nebula in what appears to be in the shape of a dragon. The nebula has a blue center, with red wispy fragments on the outer detail.
