Ahh… blue lagoon 🏖️

This deep-blue sea of gas and dust—called Messier 8 or the Lagoon Nebula—is a hotbed of star formation. The young stars within the nebula emit rays of high-energy light, including X-rays shown in pink by @chandraxray.
Dynamic, textured clouds swoop across the scene. Their color ranges from deep, steely blue to bright silver. Pink and white stars of varying sizes decorate the clouds.

That's our jam 🎼

Astronomers used @chandraxray to find out that this radio wave formation, known as the "Treble Clef" thanks to its distinctive shape, was likely caused by an outburst from a supermassive black hole, followed by a collision of two galaxy clusters.
A composite image of a radio wave formation that looks a lot like a treble clef musical symbol, hovering in the midst of two colliding galaxy clusters. There are many specks of light set against the blackness of space; those are galaxies and stars. At the center of the image is a large, oval, blue-purple cloud with ragged edges. In the middle of the purple field, tilting slightly to our left, is what appears to be a giant treble clef, loosely drawn with a neon pink marker. Like the musical notation for which it's named, the formation has a strong vertical stroke with a continuous, fluid line swooping back and forth as it moves from top to bottom.

Planting the seeds for deep space exploration! 🌱🚀

Astronauts on the space station are continuing to test ways to grow fresh food in microgravity using plant pillows, advancing @NASAScience_ research on seed storage and crop growth capabilities for future exploration missions.

Some moments are worth floating back to. ✨

When @NASA’s @SpaceX Crew-13 launched on Oct. 1, they brought along a little extra company! 🚀 Meet Lucky, a hand-crocheted golden dragon and the crew’s zero-gravity indicator! These small companions float freely once a spacecraft iving astronauts a visual sign that they’re officially weightless.

There's a lot of ground to cover when you're building a Moon Base.

During the first phase of @NASAMoonBase development, robotic rovers will gather new details about the lunar South Pole region, while lunar terrain vehicles will extend the reach of each Artemis mission.

Welcome to the Artemis Accords, Uzbekistan 🇺🇿

Uzbekistan has joined 76 other nations around the world by committing to the peaceful and safe exploration of space. go.nasa.gov/4hWoI2z
Secretary Marco Rubio and Uzbekistan Foreign Minister Bakhtiyor Saidov smile at the camera against a background of American and Uzbekistan flags. They are both wearing suits and ties. They appear to be shaking hands while also holding up a folder. There is an arrangement of flowers on the table in front of them.
