"To Fly Free in Space" is #NASA #astronomy picture of the day #APOD for February 15, 2026. This iconic image was taken 42 years ago in Feb 1984 on STS-41B Space Shuttle Challenger as astronaut Bruce McCandless II tested the untethered spacesuit called MMU (Manned Maneuvering Unit), with thrusters making it and him a spacecraft. Though the MMU only had enough propellant to do work around the shuttle and its payloads. #space #history

A imagem mostra a AR 4366 no Sol, uma região ativa do tamanho de vários planeta Terra, fotografadas do México. Se sobreviver à rotação do Sol, pode trazer mais auroras daqui a duas semanas -

Uma região ativa do tamanho de VÁRIAS Terras está agora na borda do Sol. Chamada AR 4366, ela já soltou flares poderosos e pode desaparecer atrás do astro nos próximos dias.

A imagem mostra as manchas escuras no disco solar, fotografadas do México. Se ela sobreviver à rotação do Sol, pode trazer mais auroras daqui a duas semanas.

Explanation: What would it be like to fly free in space. About 100 meters from the cargo bay of a space shuttle, Bruce McCandless II was living the dream -- floating farther out than anyone had ever been before. Guided by a Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU), astronaut McCandless, pictured, was floating free in space
