Rockets shake and vibrate on their way to space after launch, and delicate instruments must survive.🚀 NASA engineers found a new use for a software tool to identify risks before liftoff. This has saved months of analysis and will help the team to mitigate issues in the future.

Meet the universe’s goth worlds. Brown dwarfs drift in darkness, ungoverned by a host star and heated entirely from within. Our SPHEREx telescope studied 37 of these objects, revealing chemically rich atmospheres harboring water, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and methane. ⬇️

Many of you are talking about the “space jellyfish” following this morning’s launch from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. More than 6,300 scientific investigations and cargo are on their way to the @Space_Station, as part of SpaceX's 35th commercial resupply services mission for NASA. A jellyfish happens near sunrise or sunset when the exhaust plume from the rocket becomes brightly illuminated, creating a glowing shape resembling a jellyfish. Show us where you captured the jellyfish?
