👁️ The eye of the storm.
🌀 On 28 Oct, Hurricane Melissa - the strongest in 🇯🇲 Jamaica’s history - made landfall with winds up to 298 km/h and pressure of 892 hPa.
🛰 The eye was captured by #CopernicusEU #Sentinel2.

Out of this world (literally) live view from the International @Space_Station (ISS) orbiting 261 miles directly above Hurricane Erin. You can even look down directly into the eye! Footage Credit: @NASA
Starships were meant to fly (and return to the launch site).
Starship’s fifth flight test lifted off with our most ambitious test objectives yet as we work to demonstrate techniques fundamental to Starship and Super Heavy’s fully and rapidly reusable design.
And on our first try, Mechazilla caught the booster → spacex.com/launches/mission/…
Now that’s something you don’t see everyday. Incredible to see the Aurora over Cork in southern Ireland tonight!

This is a Lockheed WP-3D Orion – one of NOAA’s two #Hurricane Hunters. They're equipped with nose radar, multi-mode radar on the belly, and tail doppler radar, allowing the crew to send back crucial data about hurricanes and other tropical storms.

After Wednesday's launch to the @Space_Station, there are now 19 humans in orbit—a new record for humanity.
We're proud to help expand the boundaries of human exploration. Ad astra!

It’s fair to say this is the Polaris Dawn of a new era in human spaceflight. With @rookisaacman & @Gillis_SarahE making history, by successfully completing the first-ever commercial extravehicular activity (EVA), with SpaceX-designed extravehicular activity (EVA) spacesuits.

We filmed the @Boeing Starliner undocking before its final journey to Earth from our 4K camera payload on the International Space Station. This video was captured during a private test of our livestream - we look forward to sharing future missions with the public once we start operations! Livestream launching September 2024 🚀

#Starliner's hatch is closed, and teams in Houston are preparing the spacecraft to leave @Space_Station. Undocking coverage begins at 5:45 p.m. ET on Sept. 6, with a landing planned for ~12 a.m. ET on Sept. 7.

It's official, #Sydney is the dream city. 💙 Whether you're visiting or returning home, watching the sun bathe the city skyline will never get old.
Thanks for sharing your #feelnewsydney moment IG/vagner.karyna
It was a chilly but sunny morning for the maiden arrival of @CunardLine’s brand new Queen Anne in Cobh.
Perfect lighting as @PrincessCruises’ Regal Princess sets sail from @PortofCork bound for Dún Laoghaire.
The @Space_Station orbiting over Cork tonight and what appears to be two UFOs. Does anyone know what the two other lights could possibly be?
