Australia is closer to embarking on its first mission to the Moon in partnership with NASA. 🌖

Have you seen NASA’s new astronaut suit for Artemis? The suit has been developed by Axiom. The suit was displayed at the Johnson Space Center in Houston during an event by Axiom Space.

Australian Katherine Bennell-Pegg will head to Germany next month to train as an astronaut with the @europeanspaceagency

Largest known galaxy in the universe brought into sharp relief in stunning new composite image. This composite image of the giant barred spiral galaxy NGC 6872 combines visible light images from the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope with far-ultraviolet data from NASA’s Galaxy Evolution Explorer and infrared data acquired by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope.

The NASA Perseverance rover on Mars took a selfie with one of 10 tubes the rover deposited at the sample depot it created in an area within Jezero Crater nicknamed Three Forks. The images used to create this mosaic were captured using the rover's robotic arm on Jan. 20, 2023.

NASA’s Cassini spacecraft imaged Saturn's moon Enceladus, whose frozen surface ice hides a deep ocean. The cracks covering the surface are believed to be from relatively warm sections in the crust, where ice water particles and gasses jet out continuously from the oceans below, contributing to Saturn's E ring. Some of these fissures could be hydrothermal vents that stretch down to its ocean.⁣

Did you see NASA's Artemis 1 Orion spacecraft moon flyby? We live in exciting times space fans!

The successful launch of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket carrying the 'Crew 5 Mission' on its way to the International Space Station. According to SpaceX's website "On Wednesday, October 5 at 12:00 p.m. ET, 16:00 UTC, Falcon 9 launched Dragon's fifth operational human spaceflight mission (Crew-5) to the International Space Station from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Following stage separation, Falcon 9's first stage landed on the Just Read the Instructions droneship."

The heat wave in China is another reminder that enhanced climate change is definitely happening. By enhanced we're referring to the indisputable fact that humans are adding greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide and Methane (such as the Nordstream2 gas disaster) to our atmosphere as well as clearing forests and adding plastics to the oceans. With a rapidly growing population making this all worse, we are all responsible for what happens next.

Getting ready to celebrate World Space Week 2022.

What does this make you think of? Earth rise! Let's protect this incredible planet and also continue to explore the solar system so that we can appreciate what we have. What do you think?

First mission of the Australian Spacd Agency @australianspaceagency

It is great to be at an in-person conference again! The Australian Space Research Conference is an annual meeting for Australian research relating to space science. Sponsors @australianspaceagency US Office of Naval Research Global, Investment NSW, NSW Space Research Network, Binocular and Telescope Shop.

Exciting news! The 2025 International Astronautical Congress will be held in SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA!

Many of us were hoping to see Artemis1 heading to the moon already but we'll have to be patient.

The Space Launch System is an American super heavy-lift expendable launch vehicle under development by NASA since 2011. The first launch, designated Artemis 1, is launching from the Kennedy Space Center.
