This spiral galaxy,
beautifully streaked with tendrils of reddish dust,
was captured by @NASAHubble as a part of a black hole study.
Black holes are fundamental components of galaxies and are thought to lurk at the hearts of many —
if not all —
spirals.⁣

America (and the world’s)
most powerful rocket is gearing up to check off a major milestone with its Green Run test series.
Locked and loaded into its test stand at @NASAStennis,
our Space Launch System is being prepped for the first top-to-bottom integrated testing of the stage’s systems prior to its #Artemis Moon mission flights.⁣⁣

⁣
Green Run testing will take place over several months and culminates with an eight-minute,
full-duration hot fire of the stage’s four RS-25 engines to generate 2 million pounds of thrust,
as during an actual launch.
