    Planets are born in dusty disks around stars, and you can help find them. Uncover clues to how planetary systems form, evolve, and end with the Disk Detective Citizen Science project. Join in: go.nasa.gov/4wJmybi
    Illustration of a bright young star encircled by a glowing, swirling disk of gas and dust, known as a protoplanetary disk, where planets may eventually form.

    New plants have sprouted in space! 🌱 These leafy greens are helping researchers study how plants develop outside of dedicated growth facilities. What we learn could shape the future of fresh food production on missions to the Moon and beyond. go.nasa.gov/4wldYPW
    Two black bags are mounted on a white rectangle, with orange and clear plastic surrounding them. There is a bright white light illuminating the background. The black bags are labeled as plant pillows, and both have a small oval in the center. A small rectangular film can be seen in the oval of both plant pillows, with a small, green sprout emerging from the rectangular film. The left plant pillow has a sprout of Red Russian kale, and the right plant pillow has a sprout of Wasabi mustard greens.
    Two black, square bags lie on a white surface under a white light with orange and clear plastic beneath them. Both squares have an oval in the center where sprouts emerge from a small rectangle. There are multiple leaves jutting from the center of each square. The leaves on the left are smooth and oval shaped, while the leaves on the right are branched like a star. The interior of the space station is visible in the background, including a square-oval opening to another area of the station.

    What happens to blood vessels in space? That question helped NASA researchers study the effects of microgravity — and supported image-analysis tools now being used in medical research, including work to better understand tumors in 3D. go.nasa.gov/4xAcK4i

    "I'm just a regular guy who likes to track the weather." That's how CoCoRaHS volunteer Matt Carnicle describes himself. Then he measured 29.06 inches of rain in less than 12 hours, breaking Louisiana's rainfall record. More: go.nasa.gov/44HAiHx
