A timelapse view from our @SpaceX Dragon of the spectacular southern aurora seen in yesterday’s post, a result of a recent solar event. As opposed to the previous aurora I’ve seen, this one danced and snaked its way directly below us, putting on quite a show. I am in awe of this

Another glimpse inside the @Space_Station Life Sciences Glovebox (LSG). It was time to provide the neocartilage mentioned in last week’s post with some fresh nutrients, so yesterday I conducted a media exchange. This nifty chamber designed for space has septa on each side, so I
