🍲@chandraxray has found a black hole that may be stirring the "pot" in its neighborhood.
Astronomers expected this galaxy, nicknamed the "red potato," to be producing many young stars, but the amount of star formation was relatively low.

Engine 4 has entered the chat🔥
The final RS-25 engine for Artemis III has made its way to @NASAKennedy where it will soon be integrated with the SLS core stage along with the other engines.
Together, they will provide around two million pounds of thrust at launch!

Making Space for Progress!💪
After @NASA announced that Artemis III would be a low Earth orbit mission, teams at Marshall began building a spacer that would take the place of the ICPS.
Now, the final friction stir weld is complete, and inspections are underway. Stay tuned!
