Leo Vulcan 1 (LV-01) update:
Our first mission on @ulalaunch's Vulcan rocket is set for Friday, Nov. 13, pending range approval. All 40 Leo satellites—our largest payload to date—have been integrated with Vulcan inside Amazon's vertical integration facility (VIF-A) at the Cape, and teams are working through final processing ahead of launch from SLC-41.

The universe has a musical side. 🎶
Meet the Treble Clef, an unusual radio structure stretching more than 2 million light-years across space. Its shape is striking, but the science behind it is even more fascinating.
Studying structures like this can reveal how galaxy clusters interact and evolve. In this composite, radio emission appears in red, X-rays in blue, and infrared data in white: go.nasa.gov/3WCV89U
