A successful developmental test of RS-25 rocket engine No. 0528 was conducted on 7/29/16 at NASA’s Stennis Space Center, near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The RS-25 engine will be used for the most powerful rocket in the world – the Space Launch System (SLS), which will launch humans deeper into space than ever before, including on the journey to Mars.

An Amorphophallus titanium, known commonly as the corpse flower begins to bloom on 7/28/16 at the New York Botanical Garden in New York. This rare plant’s scent, released during a 24–36-hour peak, is said to smell like rotting flesh. It is the first time since 1939 that the New York Botanical Garden displayed the stinky plant as it bloomed. (AP)

This is the heart of the Crab Nebula as captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This stunning image was released to the public on 7/8/16 features the nebula’s central neutron star. Scientists say it spins at a rate of 30 times per second which produces a visible pulsating appearance, much like a beating heart. (NASA/ESA)

Here are the aquanauts of NASA’s Extreme Environment Mission Operations (NEEMO) 21 mission, which began on 7/21/16. The 16 day simulated space mission is being held at the Aquarius Reef Base, located nearly 19 meters below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. The purpose of the mission is to evaluate tools and mission operation techniques that could be used in future space missions. (NASA/Karl Shreeves)
