✨ Life aboard the International Space Station

The Expedition 74 crew spent the day maintaining science equipment and life support systems while conducting a wide range of experiments in orbit.
Astronauts studied plant growth, cardiovascular health, teamwork and emotional stability in space, blood pressure in microgravity, and even quantum research using the Cold Atom Lab. Crew members also tested vision, upgraded computers and laboratory systems, analyzed blood samples, and worked on the station’s oxygen generation system.
Meanwhile, Earth and the Milky Way glowed beautifully outside the station windows.
✨ Science never sleeps in orbit.

✨ Webb captures the Ring Nebula in extraordinary detail

The James Webb Space Telescope observed the Ring Nebula, a planetary nebula formed when a dying star expelled its outer layers into space after running out of fuel.
Webb’s NIRCam revealed intricate filament structures inside the nebula, along with nearly 20,000 dense clumps rich in molecular hydrogen. The inner region contains extremely hot gas, while the outer shell shows emissions from carbon-based molecules known as PAHs.
