Unboxing a lunar experiment 🦠🌚📦👐🤩  A happy scientist shows yeast cells that flew on a #Moon trip aboard to study the impact of radiation in deep space.  European radiation sensors were also along for the ride, the digital unboxing of their data is to come.

What’s it like to unpack research that flew in space? Dr. Luis Zea knows the feeling! These videos capture Dr. Zea’s first look at his study of yeast cells which traveled around the Moon inside @NASA_Orion.

A sunspot has appeared so large it is visible to the naked (but *of course* sun-protected) eye! Grab some eclipse glasses🕶️, pray for a sunny day🌞 and check out the few-times-larger-than-Earth 'NOAA AR 13190' 🌞▪️ should be visible for the next ~5 days #SpaceWeather

☀️🔭👁️ Can you observe sunspots without a telescope? Yes, in fact NOAA AR 13190 is so large it's visible with a pair of eclipse glasses (& a☁️free day😛). The daily @UniGraz ⚪️light☀️image on the ESA #SpaceWeather Portal is shown below with🌍to scale! 🌐swe.ssa.esa.int/kso-S107e-fede
