Amazing Photo by @nasa – Our Hubble Space telescope found what looks like a cosmic, double-bladed lightsaber just in time for the release of #StarWars. This celestial lightsaber does not lie in a galaxy far, far away, but rather inside our home galaxy, the Milky Way.
In the center of the image, partially obscured by a dark, Jedi-like cloak of dust, a newborn star shoots twin jets out into space as a sort of birth announcement to the universe. This is inside a turbulent birthing ground for new stars known as the Orion B molecular cloud complex, located 1,350 light-years away.

Three International Space Station (@ISS) crew members are returning to Earth today after 141 days in space. Flight Engineers Kjell Lindgren of NASA; Oleg Kononenko of Roscosmos, the Russian Federal Space Agency; and Kimiya Yui of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) will land in their Soyuz spacecraft at 8:12 a.m. EST in Kazakhstan.

Prior to undocking from the station at 4:49 a.m. EST, Astronaut Kjell Lindgren shared this image of a trio of crewmates inside their Soyuz saying „All loaded up! Farewell to our Exp 45 crewmates and the magnificent International Space Station! Hello Earth!!“ Image credit: NASA
