NASA Astronaut Christina Koch was excitedly greeted at her front door by the family dog. Koch had been away for the past year working on the International Space Station. Despite Koch’s faraway extended absence, her beloved dog had clearly not forgotten her.

Not sure who was more excited. Glad she remembers me after a year! pic.twitter.com/sScVXHMHJn

Off the Earth, for the Earth. Another amazing science instrument mounted outside @Space_Station, this one scanning Earth to study CO2 emission and absorption on scales as never before. The @NASAJPL Orbiting Carbon Observatory-3 brings environmental studies to a whole new level! pic.twitter.com/zYgsrCeFTN
