Last October 5 to 7, 2026, we conducted a 3-day solar observation at the NEU Main Observatory. While cloudy weather provided some difficulty, we achieved our objective of capturing photos of the nearest star to our planet on the third day, in time for the #WorldSpaceWeek celebrations.

Mary Golda Ross is the first-known #NativeAmerican female engineer & a key pioneer of the US Space Race. #WorldSpaceWeek🚀

A citizen of the Cherokee Nation, she spent >3 decades performing aerospace design & engineering work laying the groundwork for modern interplanetary exploration. #WomenInSTEM 🧵
A black-and-white, profile-angle photograph of Mary Golda Ross (1908–2008), the first known Native American female engineer and a key pioneer of the American Space Race, working at her drafting table. Seated and facing left, Ross rests her forearms on a large drafting surface covered in technical drawings and mathematical graphs. She holds a pencil in her right hand and holds up a sheet of paper with her left, seemingly reviewing complex flight paths or rocket designs. She wears a dark, short-sleeved blouse featuring a light-colored collar, a wrist watch on her left arm, and prominent rounded earrings. Her dark hair is styled neatly away from her face, which carries an expression of quiet focus and intellect. Scattered across the workspace are precision drafting tools, including rulers, a t-square, a technical compass, and an ink well, while a mechanical drafting arm anchors the foreground. The plain paneled walls create a minimalist office environment. The overall mood is serious and professional, highlighting a foundational Indigenous woman in mid-century aerospace engineering.

What happens to asteroid impact debris after it lands? ☄️

PSI's Kirby Runyon used a miniature catapult aboard a reduced-gravity airplane to find out!

Engineer & cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova was the first woman to fly in space in Vostok 6. She was just 26. #WorldSpaceWeek🚀

The only woman to ever fly a solo space mission. She spent 3 days alone in space & orbited the Earth 48 times...inside the little pod in the pic. Extraordinary. #WomenInSTEM
A classic color portrait of Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman to fly in space, taken in her mid-20s shortly after her 1963 Vostok 6 mission. She is in full Soviet Air Force uniform, wearing a brown military jacket with blue and red shoulder boards, a tie, and a chest covered in numerous medals and orders (including the Hero of the Soviet Union star, Lenin Order, and others). Her short dark hair is neatly styled, and she gazes to the right of the camera with a calm, resolute, and dignified expression against a plain blue-gray background. The image highlights her pioneering role as the first female cosmonaut and her decorated status as a national hero of the Soviet Union. A color photograph taken at the Science Museum's Cosmonauts exhibition, showing Russian cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova standing beside a full-scale replica or original Vostok 6 spacecraft capsule. The spherical, dark metallic capsule with a circular window and visible hatch is displayed on a stand under dramatic red lighting. Tereshkova, an older woman with short gray hair, wears a dark patterned jacket over a light blouse, and looks toward the camera with a composed, proud expression. The image captures her as the first woman in space (June 16, 1963), standing next to the very vehicle she piloted during her historic solo Vostok 6 mission.

Astronaut Eileen Collins was the first female Space Shuttle pilot. #WorldSpaceWeek🚀

She piloted the Space Shuttle Discovery during mission STS-63 (1995), a mission that included the first-ever rendezvous between a US Space Shuttle and the Russian space station Mir. #WomenInSTEM
An official NASA portrait of a smiling Eileen Collins (born 1956), the first female Space Shuttle pilot and commander, posing in front of a studio backdrop. Positioned left of center, she is captured from the waist up, turned slightly right while facing forward with a warm, confident expression. Her short, light brown hair is neatly styled in a voluminous, feathered cut. She wears a vibrant orange Advanced Crew Escape Suit (ACES) complete with a bulky metallic neck ring, black collar fabric underneath, and an intricate harness. A circular mission patch for STS-93 is prominently affixed to the right side of her chest, reading the names Collins, Ashby, Coleman, Hawley, and Tognini, while a blue-and-white NASA name tag on her left side reads "EILEEN M. COLLINS". Her right hand gently rest on a glossy black-and-white astronaut helmet held in her lap. The backdrop features the United States flag draped on the far left, while a detailed desktop model of the Space Shuttle stacked with its solid rocket boosters and external tank stands on a pedestal to the right. The overall composition balances a professional, historic mood with Collins' approachable demeanor, celebrating her groundbreaking milestones as a trailblazing woman in STEM and space exploration.

Engineer, physicist & NASA astronaut Sally Ride was the first American woman in space, 1983. #WorldSpaceWeek 🚀

+ Wrote/co-wrote 7 books to help encourage children to study #science
+ Co-founded Sally Ride Science to inspire young people in STEM & promote STEM literacy

#WomenInSTEM
A historical photograph of Dr. Sally Kristen Ride (May 26, 1951 – July 23, 2012)—the first American woman in space—inside the flight deck of the Space Shuttle Challenger during the STS-7 mission in June 1983. Dr. Ride is positioned in the center of the frame from the chest up with a warm, engaged smile. She wears a light-blue NASA flight jumpsuit adorned with an American flag patch on her left shoulder, a NASA insignia on her chest, and a name tag that reads "SALLY." A lightweight communications headset rests on her curly, dark brown hair, with a thin microphone curving toward her mouth. Her right hand adjusts a component of the headset wire near her ear. The background is filled with the dense, intricate instrumentation of the shuttle's overhead and aft control panels, packed with gray switches, dials, and circuit breakers. The tight framing, soft interior lighting, and candid composition emphasize a focused yet calm atmosphere, documenting a milestone moment for women in STEM and space exploration.

This was the first rocket launch at Cape Canaveral.

Cape Canaveral is the home of the Cape Canaveral Space Fore Station and next to the Kennedy Space Center, making it the US capital of rocket launches. But every legacy had to start somewhere. (1/3)
