Vision, Immune System Studies and Hardware Inspections Keep Crew Busy

1 week ago | nasa.gov | Mark Garcia

Life science was back on the schedule for Wednesday as the Expedition 73 crew studied how living in space affects eye structure and cellular immunity. The International Space Station residents also maintained the upkeep of exercise gear, life support components, and orbital plumbing hardware. The ongoing space biology investigations aboard the orbital lab constantly informs doctors how astronauts adapt to months of living and working in weightlessness.
Hubble Images Galaxies Near and Far

1 week ago | nasa.gov | Monika Luabeya

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image offers us the chance to see a distant galaxy now some 19.5 billion light-years from Earth (but appearing as it did around 11 billion years ago, when the galaxy was 5.5 billion light-years away and began its trek to us through expanding space). Known as HerS 020941.1+001557, this remote galaxy appears as a red arc partially encircling a foreground elliptical galaxy located some 2.7 billion light-years away.
