Frank Culbertson, Expedition 3 Commander aboard the @Space_Station, captured this photo as smoke rose from the Twin Towers in New York City 25 years ago today. We pause to reflect on that terrible day and pay tribute to the victims, survivors, and heroes of the 9/11 attacks.

Starry starry night. Channeling my inner post-impressionism vibes as I experiment with long exposure star trails from the @Space_Station Japanese Experiment Module window. Maybe van Gogh was dreaming in long exposure for his masterpiece. That’s the @JAXA_en external platform (JEF) in the foreground, looking toward the port truss solar arrays on the left. Taken with a Nikon Z9, 14mm lens, 180s exposure.

I had to help Teddy Mercury Kobrick cross the rainbow bridge (8/10) and say goodbye to my bestest friend ever. He brought me so much joy and light for almost 13 years. My little shadow. I love you so much Teddy and wish you were by my side and healthy. Your were the fluffliest. – at Edgewater, CO

My favorite capture of the night: The moment the moon's shadow split the sunset in half, leaving a diamond ring in the sky and a breathtaking view. I call it "Shadows on the Balearic Sea". I'll have prints available for this one linked in my bio for a few days only.

This should be really interesting and anyone who is looking to contribute to #Artemis should be tuning in. Each part of this event will indicate what early infrastructure and technologies will receive funding through various contract opportunities. #ToTheMoon! – at Edgewater, CO
What's next for @NASAMoonBase? Join us on Tuesday, June 30 at 2:30pm ET (1830 UTC) for a live news event where we'll share updates on our plans for lunar exploration and the next steps toward establishing an enduring human presence on the Moon. go.nasa.gov/4wcDoPu

Everyone be safe. The smoke is so bad that the Moon looks red. Fires are mostly on the West side of Colorado but the air breathing quality is sh!t. If you have AC keep your windows shut to help. #Colorado #WildFires #ColoradoFires #RedMoon – at Lakewood, CO

.@NASA awarded contracts to @Astrolab_Space and @LunarOutpostInc to create new lunar terrain vehicle designs for Artemis astronauts to traverse the Moon starting with the Artemis 4 mission. We spoke with the companies to learn about the road ahead. Watch: youtu.be/wE1ZhMB4m6s?si=_W0s…

That's all of us, all but 4. #ToTheMoon #ArtemisII #HelloWorld – at Edgewater, CO
Replying to @NASA
We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

The first rule about Government Shutdown is that you don't talk about Government Shutdown. Today included a lot of hurry up and wait and no answers. I guess in 13 minutes the government will be shutdown. So call me maybe? – at Highlands Ranch, CO

What a view. From our new free flying camera — deployed on yesterday’s New Shepard mission. (The “bubble” is the seam between two 180 degree lenses.)
