    1st morning in temporary Houston home, enjoying sounds, smells, flavors of Earth. Doing great, but gravity is tough!

    Buon lunedì! Bel passaggio senza nuvole sull’Italia, ieri mattina. Nice cloudless pass over Italy yesterday. Yes, even up here we worry about the weather 😄 #MissionMinerva

    È la #FestaDellaRepubblica! Anche qui sulla ISS è giornata di festa e ho avuto tempo libero per immortalare il nostro splendido paese da quassù. Stavate sorridendo? #2giugno #MissionMinerva

    仰观宇宙之大，俯察品类之盛，所以游目骋怀，足以极视听之娱，信可乐也。 Looking up, I see the immensity of the cosmos; bowing my head, I look at the multitude of the world. The gaze flies, the heart expands, the joy of the senses can reach its peak, & indeed, this is true happiness

    Ciao #Sardinia! Sea and mountains, forests, plains, coasts, beaches… due to the great variety of beautiful landscapes and ecosystems some call Sardinia a “micro-continent”! #CiaoItaly #MissionMinerva

    Every orbit the @Space_Station makes a summersault in space. Take a look at how we can use a gyroscope to visualize that! 😉 #MissionMinerva #SpaceTok @esa @esaspaceflight @ISS_Research

    The Sun has been really active lately. Last week we saw the most stunning auroras I have ever experienced in over 300 days in space! #auroraaustralis #MissionMinerva
