I was honored to speak with Secretary of the Army, and to discuss the significance of the U.S. Army‘s birthday. For 250 years, the Army has stood as a symbol of strength, innovation, and service to our nation. As an Army astronaut, I am proud to represent that legacy, and I am proud to serve

Here's a fun STEM activity for the summer, and it involves a current crew member on the ISS! COL Anne McClain reads one of our favorite books from the station. You can find the video on the Story Time From Space website: storytimefromspace.com/ada-lace-part-…

So, when I took this aurora, at first I thought that my settings were not correct because the aurora appeared white. I thought maybe the ISO was off, or I picked the wrong lens. Turns out, what I thought was white is actually light pink, and this led me down a path of learning.

We had to tap in to #NationalSelfieDay! 🤳 NASA astronaut COL Anne McClain turns the camera for a selfie during a spacewalk on May 1, 2025, while upgrading the International Space Station's power generation system. See if you can spot Nichole “Vapor” Ayers in this shot.

Welcome, Axiom-4! We always have an amazing view from @space_station, but it is hard to describe what it is like to look out the window and see another spacecraft on approach. Nichole “Vapor” Ayers and I monitored the approach, then our entire crew of Expedition 73 welcomed the new

Just. Wow. As we went over Mexico and the U.S. this morning, I caught this sprite. Sprites are TLEs or Transient Luminous Events, that happen above the clouds and are triggered by intense electrical activity in the thunderstorms below. We have a great view above the clouds, so
