Hæsteinn 🍇

@haasteinn

This experiment was done on Earth’s gravity if I'm not wrong. Would the outcome be the same if it was done on the Moon and is the moon’s gravity an obstacle to grow plants on the Moon?

NASA

@NASA

Replying to @haasteinn

Plants on the Moon would likely be growing in a habitat shared with humans, so the atmosphere, temp., and lighting could be similar to how they were grown in the Florida lab. But one day they could have their own habitat; plants tend to do well in low-pressure atmospheres.

In reply to @NASA

StarshipShuffle:SpaceXgame

@StarshipShuffle

Wow, plants in Lunar soil, didn’t see that coming. What is regolith even made of?

NASA

@NASA

Replying to @StarshipShuffle @UF and 1 otherfalse

The areas of the Moon around the Apollo 11, 12 and 17 sites are mostly of crushed basalt rocks. It's typically not called “soil” as it doesn't have the hallmarks of Earth soil–organic material & life. The minute you grow a plant in it, regolith essentially becomes “soil."

NASA

@NASA

Got questions about the black hole at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy (and how it interacts with the space around it)?

Bring them to a Twitter Q&A today over on @ChandraXRay at 2pm ET (1800 UTC). Experts will be standing by!

@e_standge

Isn't this a photo of a black hole from a few years ago?🤔

NASA

@NASA

Replying to @e_standge

It looks similar, but you're looking at the first image ever taken of the black hole at the center of our galaxy. It's 4 million times more massive than the Sun. In comparison, the M87 galaxy's black hole (image released in 2019), is several billion times the mass of the Sun.

NASA

@NASA

Have you seen the picture of the black hole at the center of our galaxy?

The image of Sagittarius A* (inset) was taken by @EHTelescope. Now see it in context with support from our @ChandraXray, Swift and NuSTAR observatories. Here's what the colors mean: go.nasa.gov/3yya5vX

How are black holes formed?

NASA

@NASA

Replying to @theRoy2008

There are two main types of black holes: we're still learning about how supermassive black holes are formed, but stellar-sized black holes are created when giant stars run out of fuel and collapse under their own weight. More info: nasa.gov/vision/univers…

And… splashdown! Dragon has safely made it home with precious cargo aboard: four #Crew3 astronauts!

Now they wait for the recovery vehicle, which is named after Shannon Walker, mission specialist for the first crewed @SpaceX mission to the @Space_Station:

A 53-hour Chandra observation of the central region of the Perseus galaxy cluster captured the sound waves. They were discovered by using a special image-processing technique to bring out subtle changes in brightness in the X-ray data. (1/2)

We then took that X-ray data and translated it into sound humans can hear (using Python & sound editing software). (2/2)
