NASA guy uses telescope. My late father left me his enormous 8” astrophotography telescope. I finally got it operational last night. Visual eyepieces only (camera gear pending). Managed to snap these pics through the eyepiece.

An awesomely fun project from my friend and long-time collaborator @davidcharney.bsky.social. Making the internet a better place, as always. alphabetmoon.org

How does this happen?

Apollo 13 “problem”, 55 years ago at 11pm ET tonight. ApolloInRealtime.org/13

Trump announces new tarrifs right here.

Great new film by NASA featuring some of the wonderfully talented people that I get to work with every day. We're working hard to prepare for our return to the Moon. This film shows just one aspect of those preparations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoJO...

Extra points if you can spot me in the back of the science room. In the fall I was part of an Artemis III training simulation at NASA JSC. Today, NASA published a short article about it. science.nasa.gov/uncategorize...

I’m looking forward to being on @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social’s The Current around 8.30 am EST tomorrow to talk about the significance of @firefly-aerospace.bsky.social’s mission & what this means for lunar exploration, including for 🇨🇦 @westernuresearch.bsky.social

ISS spacewalk currently underway. Suni Williams just surpassed Peggy Whitson's record for most spacewalk hours completed by a woman. Incredible. Meanwhile the press:

Looking Back on 2019, The Year My Life Changed This latest blog post tells the story of my first full-time year at NASA. benfeist.com/posts/airt-a... Being given a chance to work at NASA on meaningful work was a dream come true. I hope you all enjoy it.

Apollo 17's first lunar EVA is underway! apolloinrealtime.org/17/

Apollo 17 has just gone behind the moon and is about to shoot some 16mm film of what they see. Landing tomorrow. Follow along live: apolloinrealtime.org/17/

Apollo 17 is on it's way to the moon exactly 52 years ago. Follow along (as is tradition at this point): apolloinrealtime.org/17/ #apollo #nasa

Work on ISS in Real Time continues. I have processed the ISS space-to-ground comm back to 2019 and continuing backwards. Stats so far: Days transcribed: 1,169 of 2,417 Word count so far: 14,408,409 Per S/G channel: 1: 5,103,572 2: 6,435,531 3: 2,146,940 4: 722,366 #spacestation #iss #space #nasa

I'm working on a new project to bring the day to day activities on the ISS to life. issinrealtime.org will be a cousin to apolloinrealtime.org. It will place all of the public mission data into context for playback. I'm currently transcribing all space-to-ground comm dating back to 2015.

Wrapped up a fantastic week at the NASA Johnson Space Center with a dry run of the #Artemis III impact cratering training activities #ToTheMoon #ImpactCraters

Had an inspiring week at Johnson Space Center where we ran a series of Artemis 3 EVA simulations. Mission Control supported the crew as they walked on the Moon in VR with the Artemis 3 science team learning how to support operations from the Science Evaluation Room.
