Good news! Yesterday, I successfully ejected the flight cover on my TAGSAM sampling arm. I also performed two spins -- called Sample Mass Measurements -- before and after to confirm that my mass changed about 2.5 lbs (approximately the weight of the cover). pic.twitter.com/wkugxtoKQ6

LOVE this space launches chart in @TheEconomist. Applaud their highlighting data driven stories in a new section. Still so crazy to me that all this great work goes uncredited (as do all the words in every issue). Thanks for the beautiful data viz anonymous graphic reporter! pic.twitter.com/uMkW8j0d3a

Viewed from a window inside the cupola, the @Space_Station's "window to the world," we see @JAXA_en's H-II Transfer Vehicle-7 cargo craft at the orbital complex on Oct. 11, with a view of Earth from 257 miles above providing the dramatic backdrop.

"In a remote area of northwest Greenland, an international team of scientists made a stunning discovery, buried beneath more than a half-mile of ice. It's a meteor impact crater that's roughly 1,000 feet deep and bigger than Paris. Get more details: https://t.co/daLrVasRd3 https://t.co/FWRzbYuY8L"

This was a sweeping shot of the 70M antenna surface. Just when you think it isn't that big @Astro0Glen kindly walks into view to put it all into perspective ... No, its jaw dropping big! @CanberraDSN pic.twitter.com/dyks3B8i7J
