If you’re less than 25 years old, you never experienced a situation in which all the people was present on the Earth at any time! Since today 25 tears ago the Expedition 1 in the International Space Station began! What a feat for the whole humankind 🥰. 🚀🧑‍🚀

New book out soon! 📖 (Unfortunately only in Czech) Planet of Melting Ice by Zdeněk Zvonek brings together 19 interviews with scientists from all sorts of fields — from biology to geology to social science — all united by one thing: their work in the polar regions. 🧊 👇🧵

It’s good to be back around the glaciers 🥰.

Super interesting story about the new interstellar object - 3I/ATLAS 👇.

He was soooo ahead of his time…

Not only the Prague planetarium have the most modern LED projection in the world. They also do have these awesome mirrors on toilets! How cool is that?! 😍

This is an awesome accomplishment by our former student! So happy for him 🥹. @esa.int

Pretty grim www.planetary.org/articles/nas...

What a joke. If Trump really wanted America First then he wouldn't have proposed absolutely massacring NASA's budget. It's all bullshit.

What a disaster… 😩

May the 4th be with you! (Mimas, moon of Saturn, Voyager 1, 1980)

Happy B-Day Hubble! #OTD 35 years ago Hubble launched onboard space shuttle Discovery STS-30. Keep those pictures coming ❤️🔭.

I can’t fucking comment on this. Every last one of them, every Russian must be destroyed.

This is just horrible...

This is breathtaking 🤩.

Cool pictures of Luca Parmitano during the training in Orion mockup with his NASA collegaues. They were practicing recovery procedures for the Artemis II astronauts for next year. It is nice to see the @esa.int patch on Orion space suit! I guess Luca is first in the line for ESA Artemis seat. 🚀

Hello Crew-11! 👋 I am so happy for Zena Cardman. After getting bumped from Crew-9 she is finally going! And again as a commander. Polar scientists turned astronauts are the best!

🥹 good bye dear Gaia! You were the best. Feel for you @janamulacova.bsky.social

China is starting to be serious space explorer. Meanwhile NASA could loose 50% of its science budget (planetary exploration included). What about Europe? We should throttle up!!

Have you ever seen something like this?! 🤯

Very cool paper from my dear friend Jeník! Check it 👇.

Who is more humble? The scientist who looks at the universe with an open mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and never mind the fallibility of all the human beings involved?

Just how cool is that? Sun eclipse from the Moon! By Blue Ghost lander @firefly-aerospace.bsky.social.

😭

Beautiful new pictures from @esa.int Hera spacecraft of Mars and its moon Deimos! Hera is on its way to Dimorphos - a small moon of asteroid Didymos. The other spacecraft - DART - smashed to this moon few years ago to test, if we can (unlike dinosaurs) defend ourselves against the asteroid impact!

It looks like a dog that came back from a vet visit. And just like with the dog, this collar will protect the new SPHEREx space telescope. After a series of delays, it finally successfully launched today! THREAD 🧵👇

She’s sleeping again 🥹. I think Intuitive Machines should put the legs on her side next time. Two times in a row she ended on her belly! Poor Athena. Such a nice science mission and now it’s the end…

There are reports The White House is considering a 50% cut to NASA’s science programs, and 25% of its overall budget, which would be catastrophic for both current and planned missions. But, there is still time for the administration to reconsider. Read our full statement ⬇️

This is just SO SAD!!!! The display case of US science is going straight to the toilet. Just appaling.

My beloved wife has a new paper! 😊

Facts: Putin is a dictator and murderer. Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine is fighting for their lives. America used to stand up against tyrants. This is not who we are as a nation. Disgraceful.

Wow!

This is beyond ridiculous. And brutally disgusting and disrespectful to actual great human being and awesome astronaut Andy Mogensen from @esa.int.

“Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot…

Changes in NASA's workforce, by year, since 1959. Today will mark the largest involuntary reduction in staffing since the end of Apollo. The difference is that, right now, NASA is trying to spin up a Moon program instead of end one.

Just saying… 😆❤️

Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams are expected to do an EVA this Thursday. I guess they did not expect to go outside the ISS when they launched onboard Starliner last June... 😆 Awesome team!

A part of Antarctica's history is now forever changed. The best and cutest field camp in the Dry Valleys – the famous Lake Bonney Camp – is gone. Well, not entirely gone, just moved a bit further uphill due to Lake Bonney itself.

Very interesting photo by Luca Parmitano from his IG account just dropped. I guess that first assigment by ESA for the Artemis program is done deal?! 🚀👨‍🚀
