- International Space Station repostedA timelapse view from our @SpaceX Dragon of the spectacular southern aurora seen in yesterday’s post, a result of a recent solar event. As opposed to the previous aurora I’ve seen, this one danced and snaked its way directly below us, putting on quite a show. I am in awe of this
00:00 - International Space Station repostedWhere are you spending your summer days? 🏖️ If you can’t constantly keep your toes in the sand, here are some photos to enjoy as the International @Space_Station orbited approximately 250 miles over popular beach destinations. Do you recognize any of these getaways?
- International Space Station repostedIn microgravity, crystals experience "hopper growth," where the outer edges and corners grow at faster rates than the flat faces, creating a step-like appearance. This timelapse records their growth inside a thin water film. Look closely, and you will see the patterns emerge!
00:00 - International Space Station repostedThere 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.
