• Don Pettit, NASA's oldest astronaut at age 70, concluded his fourth space mission, spending 220 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS), accumulating a total of 590 days in orbit.
• During his 220-day mission, he orbited Earth over 3,520 times, traveling 93.3 million miles, capturing and sharing breathtaking images and videos of celestial events like Starlink satellites, auroras, and rare upper-atmosphere lightning.
• Pettit's captivating space photography included a video showcasing sprites and blue jets over the Amazon, which he humorously described as catering to the 'inner Uber-Geek,' and images of auroras between Australia and Antarctica.
• He is scheduled to return to Earth on April 20th, landing near Dzhezkazgan, Kazakhstan, aboard the Soyuz MS-26 spacecraft with Russian cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner, after undocking from the ISS's Rassvet module on April 19th.
