Mission managers and scientist are seen reflected in the television control room window during a NASA Perseverance rover mission science overview, Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2021, at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. The Perseverance Mars rover is due to land on Mars Thursday, Feb. 18, 2021. A key objective for Perseverances mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the planets geology and past climate, pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet, and be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rock and regolith.

ISS006-E-08835 (14 December 2002) --- View of a bubble formed as a result of a Zeolite Crystal Growth (ZCG) experiment in the Destiny laboratory on the International Space Station (ISS). Expedition Six Commander Kenneth D. Bowersox used a Space Station drill to mix 12 Zeolite samples in clear tubes. Scientists on the ground watching on TV noticed bubbles in the samples. Bowersox used a modified mixing procedure to process autoclaves to isolate bubbles. He re-inserted the samples in the ZCG furnace in Express Rack 2 in the U.S. laboratory/Destiny. This experiment has shown that the bubbles could cause larger number of smaller deformed crystals to grow. Bowersox rotated the samples so that the heavier fluid was thrown to the outside while the lighter bubbles stayed on the inside.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- The Space Mirror Memorial at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida gleams in the morning sunlight during Kennedys NASA Day of Remembrance. A large wreath was placed at the memorial by Kennedy Center Director Robert Cabana, Deputy Director Janet Petro, and United Space Alliances Vice President for Aerospace Services/Florida Site Director Mark Nappi. The Day of Remembrance honors members of the NASA family who lost their lives while furthering the cause of exploration and discovery, including the astronaut crews of Apollo 1 and space shuttles Challenger and Columbia. Kennedy civil service and contractor employees, along with the general public, paid their respects throughout the day. The visitor complex provided flowers for visitors to place at the memorial.

Thyroid scintigraphy. Thyroid scintigraphy (gamma scan) revealing a multinodular goiter. Scintigraphy is a branch of diagnostic radiology that uses radioactive isotopes attached to drugs that travel to specific organs within the body. These isotopes are then imaged with a gamma camera, giving important information about an organ's function.
