Incredible storms over Myanmar, Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia. While we see lightning somewhere on Earth every night pass, it’s not as common to see one this active.

No finer start to Memorial Day. Honoring old friends today.

Memorial Day is a time for each of us to honor and remember in our own way. For some, it’s gathering with friends for a barbecue on a sunny day; for others, it’s a grueling workout to pay tribute to the fallen; and for many, it’s a quiet day of reflection. There’s no single way

Today, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Thank you.

Did you know that some intense thunderstorms produce an electric discharge that travels up from the cloud? It’s called a sprite, and it appears as blue-to-red streaks in the mesosphere 50-90km above Earth’s surface. They are thought to be caused by an electrical breakdown in the

I have learned a lot about sprites lately … like that there is a bit of a cult following amongst those who try to capture them! NASA Earth Observation’s Sara Schmidt writes about what a sprite is, and why it is difficult to photograph. Check it out: earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/153422/…

“Last week, Johnson came together for a town hall where both leadership and the NASA Artemis II crew addressed the workforce, provided mission updates and held a Q&A session. Looking forward to launching to the Moon next year!” – Steve Koerner, Johnson acting director

Spacesuit and life support duties topped Thursday's schedule while the Exp 73 crew continued exploring how humans adapt to weightlessness. nasa.gov/blogs/spacesta…

Splashdown and safety: It all starts in the pool. 💧👨‍🚀 Part of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-11’s training focuses on their return, combining routine recovery rehearsals with high intensity procedures for emergency scenarios once the crew splashes down in the ocean. #Crew11 will launch

Nichole “Vapor” Ayers International Space Station NASA 大西卓哉 （JAXA宇宙飛行士）Takuya Onishi M+44: Though we never expect to use it, it’s important that we review basic first responder and advanced life support algorithms in the case that one of our crew mates is unresponsive and needs care. With ground assistance, we went over basic algorithms, reviewed the emergency

We’ve been doing quite a bit of maintenance after the departure of the last cargo vehicle! I’m always amazed by the level of forethought and planning that goes into maintaining the International Space Station. Our engineers on the ground have to be creative enough to anticipate how

Looking at close-ups of lightning is like peering into a different world. These flashes of light are captured in a single frame at 1/120th of a second – a transient piece of artwork which only technology allows us to capture and savor. The depth, the colors, the shapes … I am in

A SpaceX Dragon splashes down off the coast of California, the fourth private mission from Axiom Space and Crew-11 count down to launch, and students have the opportunity to talk to the station crew. #SpaceToGround

How do we do human research in space? The same way our doctor would on Earth – lab tests. We routinely draw our own blood, centrifuge and freeze the samples, then return them on a cargo vehicle (kept frozen in powered cargo freezers). Scientists can look at biomarkers and cell

Nichole “Vapor” Ayers International Space Station NASA 大西卓哉 （JAXA宇宙飛行士）Takuya Onishi M+45: Embracing a DIY mentality is helpful for learning new skills. As astronauts, we’re often called to perform various tasks and maintaining a student-like attitude helps us learn new skills. My experience setting up home networking unexpectedly proved invaluable years later

Tropical Storm Alvin has been downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone as it moves toward landfall on Sunday, which is the first day of Hurricane Season. For those that are affected by tropical storms and hurricanes, make sure you are prepared! The National Weather Service has

Well hello, Spokane! Always good to be home.

The Sun has been pretty active over the last week, which means some phenomenal auroras! The geomagnetic storm that lasted through this weekend did not disappoint. Our current orbit takes us right by the Southern Lights at night. Here are a few of my favorites!

Auroras from space always draw crewmembers to the Cupola. I love how this one illuminated our Dragon, and I also love the dance of satellites on the left in the latter part of the video. It’s interesting how the aurora creeps along the top of the atmosphere as it comes up over
