NASA astronaut Victor Glover shared his take on the overview effect at #38SPACE. "I’m looking at the beauty of Earth. And that machine keeps us alive.... That’s our spaceship. We gotta take care of it....And we’ve got to take care of each other."

Blue passenger @DrGeorgeNield - Pictures don't do justice between the black sky & the curvature of the earth, having fun tumbling around. A thrilling experience of a lifetime. It was everything hoped for in your entire career fighting for this, getting more people going to space.

The James Webb Space Telescope is fully deployed. Next up: five months of commissioning
✅ The final wing is now deployed! Before we celebrate, we’ve still got work to do. The team is working hard at @SpaceTelescope to latch the wing into place, a multi-hour process. When the final latch is secure, #NASAWebb will be fully unfolded in space. #UnfoldTheUniverse

Predictions from a Webb science briefing today… In its first year, the telescope will find the reason Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is red and will find a galaxy even older than the current record holder—GN-z11 at 13.4 billion years.

X-rays emitted by black holes, quasars and other features in deep space have a story to tell, but astronomers have yet to fully tune in by examining the polarization of the beams. Here's the inside story on NASA's new astronomy tool launching Dec. 9. https://t.co/tupYHFp4p0
