Bob and Doug head home from the ISS in a few days. I received my patch earlier today. Thanks to @kscartist . #launchamerica @nasa @spacex #spacex #spacexcrewdragon https://www.instagram.com/p/CDVSPNvH6pI/?igshid=1kow89xpptp3b

Fun night learning my way around the Moon. In 1965, Ranger 9 was intentionally crashed into the crater Alphonsus. Imaged with a Celestron 127slt mak and iPhone 8. #moon #space #nasa #celestron127slt #telescope #backyardastronomy #craters https://www.instagram.com/p/B2KIOK0HWhY/?igshid=jtolznfnslrd
Started the year off with an invitation from NASA to visit Marshall Space Flight Center. Hopefully, I’m about to get another piece of good news from them to start the new year. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJfWGB3js7_/?igshid=jl1ram2zbctu
Imagine a grain of sand on your fingertip at arms length. That is the amount of sky covered in this image! This is the first deep field image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. All of those little smudges are galaxies with billions of stars in them. What we see tomorrow will be absolutely mind blowing! #explorepage #nasa #jwst #telescope #space #solarsystemambassador https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf5EXutOYhx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Kate and I earned our participation certificates for International Observe the Moon Night. We had to let a bunch of cloud bands pass, but we were finally able to see the beautiful Moon. Also had an opportunity to scope on Jupiter and Saturn. #observethemoon #moon #astronomy #backyardastronomy https://www.instagram.com/p/CFnzVvbjK0F/?igshid=1qk16eqge4wwc

I had a wonderful time talking about human space flight to 3rd Graders at Starling Elementary today! The kids were very knowledgeable and had fantastic questions! I love the reaction I get when I tell my two “Gemini Astronauts” they have to sit next to each other and not shower for two weeks! Everybody: “EEEEWWWWWWW!!!” #stemeducation #STEM #NASA #ArtemisGeneration #Artemis #SolarSystemAmbassador #Orion #sls #spaceflight #gwinnettcounty #gwinnettcountyschools #graysongeorgia #wearegoing #explorepage #space https://www.instagram.com/p/CmLF0wZuxw8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
In honor of the Juno Mission being extended, I present my latest work. As the Great Red Spot plows its way around Jupiter, its almost 300mph winds churn incredible vortices in its wake. This image is my enhancement highlighting the violent turbulence of the wake. #missionjuno #jupiter #greatredspot @nasajuno https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ7q0kyDfY1/?igshid=wsluh0w64c7c
I host public outreach events about the science and research taking place everyday on the International Space Station. A favorite event of mine is called "Story Time From Space", where astronauts onboard the ISS read children's stories featuring space science and STEM topics. (Opinions are my own.)
