NASA's latest station image shows astronaut Jessica Meir trimming Jack Hathaway's hair on March 1, 2026, aboard the International Space Station. The detail that makes the picture work is practical rather than dramatic: Meir uses an electric razor attached to a vacuum so loose clippings do not drift through the cabin in microgravity.
The image turns a routine haircut into a useful reminder that even ordinary chores in orbit have to be engineered around microgravity.
The image is a straightforward look at station life: grooming, cleanup, and clutter control still have to happen, but everything is shaped by microgravity. That is what gives the photo its charm and its usefulness at the same time.
