Bulge fossil fragment Terzan 5 (Webb and Hubble image)

Researchers have confirmed a new class of objects within our Milky Way galaxy: survivors called 'bulge fossil fragments.' Terzan 5 is the prototype of these remnants of our galaxy's early formation. Using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope and the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescopes researchers have shown that Terzan 5 is not a globular star cluster as it was once classified. Instead, it is something much odder and rarer.

This video was published on social media by ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot with the following caption:

Day 122, orbit 1892 — In this timelapse, I’m installing the European NEMUCO experiment in the BioLab facility of the Columbus laboratory module. Delivered by the CRS-34 cargo mission, NEMUCO explores how nerve and muscle cells develop and communicate in microgravity, compared to samples on Earth.

Without countermeasures – like two hours of daily exercise – astronauts’ muscles not only shrink but also lose strength and coordination. NEMUCO investigates, at the cellular level, how microgravity affects the formation of connections and stability between
