Food cravings can lead to some unexpected actions at various times. While the most one thought of doing to satisfy a food craving was making or ordering it online, it seems there are more efforts that can be made.
Recently, NASA astronauts aboard the ISS made sushi in space for a crew celebration and to cheer up a crew member who was missing the Japanese dish. Jonny Kim, a
NASA
astronaut took to X to share the information through a post, writing, 'Space sushi isn't quite the same as the fresh stuff on the ground, but it's not bad! We had a crew celebration recently, and one of our crewmates expressed how much they missed sushi (as do I).'
'So we collected and pitched in our personal supplies of fish, spam, and rice, coupled with a dash of gochujang and wasabi, which made for a great meal', he added.
While the astronaut revealed that sushi in space does not taste the same, the dish did wonders for their happiness and mood in the limited space and ingredients. Additionally, he also shared how meals worked in space.
Due to a very obvious lack of gravity, astronauts place tape on the dining table with the sticky side facing up. This helps them attack food, utensils and condiments to the surface, preventing them from floating away in the ship due to zero gravity.

People were happily surprised to learn of the news that astronauts made sushi in space.
"sushi in space made with love and floating condiments honestly feels more michelin than microgravity. humanity really carries flavor wherever it goes." wrote an X user under the post.
"Space sushi sounds epic even if it's not as fresh 😂 I wonder what's the most challenging food to make or eat in zero-g?" wondered another.
Many users wanted the astronauts to try making other dishes in space such as Musubi, a Japanese rice ball dish.
In contrast, others were inquisitive if certain items like seaweed sheets and kimchi were allowed in space.
"Jonny are you allowed to have kimchi on the ISS or is it illegal because it smells too much? Or does smell not work the same in space?" inquired an X user.
Some even suggested better puns for the space-made dish, writing, "Space-sushi….. Spushi? 'Spooshy' and "You could have made a joke about using StarKist tuna. Such a nice pun just laying there."

New Interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS is speeding through our Solar System, NASA confirms

NASA and astronomers around the world have confirmed that a comet named 3I/ATLAS is moving through our solar system, and it's not from around here. This is only the third time in history that an object from interstellar space has been detected flying past our Sun. Spotted on July 1 by the ATLAS survey telescope in Hawaii, the comet was moving so fast that scientists immediately suspected it wasn't bound by the Sun's gravity. Its speed of over 60 kilometres per second means it entered our solar system from deep space and will exit just as quickly. Ice ball from another star According to astronomers, 3I/ATLAS shows signs of being made of mostly ice, not rock. That's based on the faint, fuzzy glow around it. Its brightness will increase as it gets closer to the Sun, peaking around October 30, when it passes just inside Mars' orbit. There's a new interstellar comet in the neighborhood! Known as 3I/ATLAS, this comet poses no threat to Earth – but it does provide a rare opportunity to study an object that originated outside of our solar system: While it won't pose any danger to Earth, its flyby is a big deal. Most comets we see come from the outer edges of our solar system. But this one came from far beyond, possibly freed from another star system by gravity when stars passed close together. Jonathan McDowell from the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics explained that icy objects like this might be formed during the birth of stars, and get pulled away when other stars move past. 3I/ATLAS might have been wandering the galaxy for millions of years before arriving here. Largest interstellar object ever seen? Experts estimate that 3I/ATLAS is about 10 to 20 kilometres wide. That makes it possibly the largest interstellar object ever detected. But if it's made of bright ice, it could be smaller than it looks. Either way, it's bigger than both 'Oumuamua (2017) and 2I/Borisov (2019), the first two interstellar visitors. Astronomers across the globe have been tracking the comet using both new and old telescope data. Pre-discovery images from June 14 have already helped trace its path. It's currently around the distance of Jupiter from Earth and only visible from the Southern Hemisphere for now. More interstellar visitors expected Mark Norris, an astronomer from the University of Central Lancashire, believes this comet is moving even faster than its two predecessors. He also said new telescopes, like the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile, could find thousands of similar objects in the future. NASA determined that 3I/ATLAS will develop a tail. This interstellar comet(?), approaching from 27 Boötis, aligns with the solar system and galactic planes. 'Oumuamua exhibited outgassing but did not resemble a comet. Is 3I/ATLAS emitting signals like 'Oumuamua? #A11pl3Z While it's not possible to send a spacecraft to 3I/ATLAS, it still gives researchers a rare chance to study materials from outside our solar system. If scientists find signs of amino acids or other building blocks of life on it, it could support the idea that life's ingredients exist across the galaxy. So far, this icy wanderer has kept its distance. But it's reminding us that our solar system is not alone. The universe is full of travellers and now, we're finally learning how to spot them.
