T-2h53m07s for ignition! I’m here at Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center and the atmosphere is electric. We are patiently waiting for the liftoff of the Falcon Heavy that will take Europa Clipper to Jupiter in search of a habitable environment beyond Earth. Go Clipper!

More than 2,700 light-years from Earth, eight planets orbit a star slightly larger than our Sun. This system was found using machine learning; researchers trained computers to look for signs of planets in data from the Kepler Space Telescope. exoplanets.nasa.gov/news/147…

Self-care Satur(n)day! 🪐 3 mindfulness tips 👇 1. Take up space. Saturn is the 2nd largest planet in our solar system. 2. Slow down. One year on Saturn is more than 29 Earth years. 3. Surround yourself with friends. Saturn has at least 83 moons in addition to its famous rings.
Hubble Space Telescope image of Saturn. The Planet has shades of tan in horizontal rings and the rings around the planet are white. The rings are more visible in the front and on the sides of the planet.

Aliens? 😀 A 1.5 meter sphere appeared on Tuesday (21) at Enshuhama Beach in Hamamatsu, Japan. Police surrounded the area and cordoned off a perimeter of 200 meters until the type of metallic material was identified. source: reddit.com/r/Damnthatsintere…
