In celebration of International Women's Day on Wednesday (March 8) and Women's History Month in March, NASA's Johnson Space Center released this photo of women in its past and present astronaut corps. Pictured, from left to right: Megan Behnken, Christina Koch, Ellen Ochoa, Nicole Mann, Tracy Dyson, Anne McClain, Anna Lee Fisher, Marsha Ivins, Serena Aunon, Jessica Meir, Sunita Williams, Stephanie Wilson, Kate Rubins, Shannon Walker, Ellen Baker and Karen Nyberg. Peggy Whitson can also be seen on the screen at the front of the room, as broadcast from the International Space Station. |

Unlike the last photo of NASA's women astronauts, Lisa Nowak wasn't available? |

Looks to me like this photo was meant to be all active and management astronauts working at JSC. So really the only person missing is Jeanette Epps. |

That earlier photo was an off-site gathering in honor of the late Sally Ride. It included many women who no longer work at Johnson Space Center.Today's photo included only JSC employees. Below is an alternate version of the photo with only members of the astronaut office. quote:

Epps is in Russia preparing for a mission to the International Space Station. |

So Ellen Baker is still working at JSC even though she resigned from NASA in 2011 (among other retired women astronauts)? |

I was mistaken. Baker is currently the director of Project ECHO at MD Anderson, and I'm told Ivins no longer has a role at Johnson. |

From Janet Kavandi on Twitter: At the 2017 Astronaut Reunion, the female astronauts gathered for a photo. An awesome group of women!  |

The annual astronaut reunion in Houston was held this year on Dec. 15. Fairly certain this correct: Back row: Jenni Sidey, Stephanie Wilson, Ellen Ochoa, Jasmin Moghbeli, Loral O’Hara, Peggy Whitson, Janet Kavandi, Nicole Stott, Zena Cardman, Kate Rubins, Kayla Barron Front row: Eileen Collins, Shannon Lucid, Rhea Seddon, Karen Nyberg, Lisa Nowak, Sandy Magnus, Joan Higginbotham, Bonnie Dunbar, [unknown], Kathy Sullivan, Megan McArthur Behnken, Barbara Morgan, Nicole Mann, Julie Payette, Cady Coleman, Jessica Watkins |

The "unknown" in the picture looks like it could be Mary Ellen Weber. |

At first, I didn't think it was Weber, but based on this photo from October, you might be correct. |

Anyone know what's up with Mary Cleave? Is she not able to make it back for the reunions? She's a class act. |

You know you're getting old when a bunch of astronauts look so young. Most of them ARE younger than I am. Please excuse me while I go away and have a little sob. |
