You were with us the whole way! Thank YOU and the entire Artemis II close out crew!!!
On launch day, as we helped the Artemis II crew get suited up and ready to board their spacecraft, Victor looked at me, pointed to my name tag patch, and asked, “Can I?” To which I ecstatically replied yes
He took it off my suit, carried it into Integrity, placed it on the wall, and flew it to the Moon.
I honestly don’t have the words to describe what it means to own something that was part of such a historic mission — something that actually traveled to the Moon. It’s a piece of history that I will cherish for the rest of my life, and something I hope to pass down through my family for generations.
To @AstroVicGlover and the entire Artemis II crew: thank you for thinking of us and taking our name tags along for the journey.
It literally means the world to us.

Not everything we see online is true. And when misinformation spreads, what we share can have real-world consequences.
During Global Media and Information Literacy Week and always, pause to verify facts by asking basic questions before sharing content online.

Hues of Africa. This week as I floated into the @Space_Station cupola and came upon this Northern Africa landscape, I reflected back on the first time I saw this scene from space. I was simply in awe of its colors, patterns and textures. Even on my 430th day in space nearing the end of this mission, this palette of Earth Art remains my most inspiring view.

I finally have all 1.2 million raw image files from my latest mission to ISS! Here is a sample of one of my favorite Milky Way photos, taken from the Cupola with Nikon Z9, Arri Zeiss 15mm lens, T1.8 with custom sidereal drive that cancelled out star motion relative to our orbit.

On July 20, 1976, NASA’s Viking 1 lander broke ground on 50 years of Mars surface exploration.
From the first landing, to rovers crossing the desert, to helicopter flights, we’ve been digging into the secrets of Mars ever since.

The lander occupies the center of the scene, extending its robotic arm into the soil, flanked by rovers and helicopters that came later.

Day 139, orbit 2155 — After the pictures (available in HD on my Flickr account), I'm so happy to finally share the timelapse of the most spectacular aurora of the εpsilon mission so far!
🤩 Watching this glowing green ribbon shimmer and dance, it's easy to lose yourself completely in the magic of the moment. Turn the sound on for the full experience – the music was carefully chosen to bring you as close as possible to what I felt watching this from space 💚.

There is a lot going on right now on the @Space_Station, but fortunately we are all safe and witnessed a spectacular southern aurora show yesterday thanks to a recent solar event.

Day 106, orbit 1644 — This timelapse shows the approach and docking of the @SpaceX CRS‑34 🛰 resupply mission on 17 May. Isn’t it amazing to think that this docking manoeuvre takes place while flying at 28,000 km/h around the Earth?
The blurred dot in the middle of the picture is actually a micrometeoroid impact on the Cupola window… No worries, it’s been there for a long time !

Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
