in a nutshell – kurzgesagt It's hard to pick one video of theirs, but thinking of the biggest megastructure humankind could build makes this one a key pick. I might have chosen a different way to characterize how our solar system moves, but I did have to crash course astronomical paths in an hour or so before turning around to write highly technical copy in my last job. Did you know we're only around 20 galactic years old? (A galactic year being the time it takes for the solar system to orbit Sagitarrius A* as our system dips above and below the galactic plane in arcs.) https://lnkd.in/gMj8ennr

Want to know why so many people give up on the New Year's Resolutions before the January frost has melted? There are 3 main reasons: (1) You've set crappy goals. They might be too vague or too ambitious or too dependent on outside factors to achieve; (2) You set too MANY goals. That sets you up for failure in at least one of them, which tanks your motivation to work on the others; or (3) You have unrealistic expectations of what progress looks like. We expect the journey to be a smooth and steady climb towards success. But spoilers: it won't be. Not if you're a human being. (If you're an alien visitor reading this from an orbiting spaceship send me a DM - I have questions 😆). The reality is that we're going to have setbacks. We're going to get tired and demotivated. But as long as you have the end in sight, you'll end up in a better place than when you started. Without question. (James Clear calculated that if you improve just 1% every day, you'll be 37% better off than you are today. That's nothing to sneeze at!). If you want to give goal-setting a red hot go this year, I've got just the thing to help you. I've giving away my goals minicourse for free up until midnight on the 7th of January. You'll learn the secret to setting great goals AND how to create the systems and habits you need to make sure you actually achieve them this year.

I made this very simple game using Unity imitating the Solar System!🚀 Watch the 5 five planets orbit the Sun. Every 5 seconds, a comet streaks through space. Click on any planet to focus the camera and dive deeper into its orbit.🌍 Big thanks to Michigan State University's Online Course on Coursera for guiding me through.

Speaking of Watkins-Johnson TWTs, it appears the WJ-1280 transmitting tube is going to outlast all the other systems on Voyager 1. The WJ-1280 was installed as the backup TWT. Shortly after launch, the main TWT failed. The WJ-1280 then became the main transmitting tube. It only needed to last through the flybys of moons around Jupiter and Saturn. Instead it kept on transmitting even as Voyager crossed the heliopause into deep space and right up to this day when the data collection and encoding systems are breaking down. The WJ TWT can only relay their gibberish. That's reliability!

#Choices Our choices can be our best friend or our worst enemy.They can deliver us to our goals or send us orbiting into a galaxy far, far away. Think about it. Everything in our life exists because you first made a choice about something. Choices are at the root of every one of our results. Each choice starts a behavior that over time becomes a habit. Choose poorly, and you just might find yourself back at the drawing board, forced to make new, oftenharder choices. Don’t choose at all, and you’ve made the choice to be the passive receiver of whatever comes your way. In essence, we make our choices, and then our choices make Us. Every decision, no matter how slight, alters the trajectory of our life. #The_compound_effect

"NASA & its international partners will explore the scientific mysteries of DeepSpace with Gateway, humanity’s first space station to orbit the Moon. Starting with the Artemis IV mission in 2028, the international teams of astronauts living, conducting science, & preparing for missions to the lunar South Pole region on Gateway will be the first humans to make their home in deep space. This artist’s computer-generated animation presents an exterior tour of Gateway in stunning detail. Depicted Gateway elements are : Power and Propulsion Element that will make Gateway the most powerful solar electric spacecraft ever flown. The module will use the Sun’s energy to power the space station’s subsystems and ionize xenon gas to produce the thrust that will maintain Gateway’s unique polar orbit around the Moon. HALO (Habitation and Logistics Outpost), Gateway’s command and control nexus providing communications between Earth and the lunar surface with the Lunar Link system provided by ESA (European Space Agency). HALO will house life support systems, including exercise equipment, and science payload banks. Lunar I-Hab, provided by ESA with hardware contributions from JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), will host environmental control & life support systems, sleeping quarters, & a galley, among other features. Lunar View, provided by ESA, will have refueling capabilities for the Power & Propulsion Element, cargo storage, & large windows. Crew & Science Airlock, provided by Mohammad Bin Rashid Space Centre of UAE, for crew & hardware transfer from Gateway’s interior to the vacuum of space. Canadarm3 advanced external robotic system provided by CSA (Canadian Space Agency). Deep Space Logistics spacecraft that will transport cargo to Gateway to support Artemis missions. Initial Gateway science payloads that will study solar & cosmic radiation, a little-understood phenomenon that is a chief concern for people & hardware traveling through deep space, including Mars. The payloads visible in this video are ERSA (European Radiation Sensors Array), provided by ESA, attached to Power & Propulsion Element, & NASA-led HERMES (Heliophysics Environmental & Radiation Measurement Experiment Suite) is attached to HALO. A third radiation science payload, IDA (Internal Dosimeter Array), provided by ESA & JAXA, will be inside of HALO. This video also depicts: Orion spacecraft docked to the Crew & Science Airlock. Orion will transport international teams of astronauts & three modules (Lunar I-Hab, Lunar View & Crew & Science Airlock) to the Gateway space station. Government-reference HumanLandingSystem (HLS) that will ferry astronauts to & from lunar South Pole region. SpaceX & Blue Origin are on contract to provide Starship HLS & Blue Moon HLS, respectively. Gateway is part of Artemis architecture to return humans to the lunar surface for scientific discovery & chart a path for human exploration further into solar system, such as to Mars & beyond." NASA

Evolution of a Local Universe: When the energy-matter has attained a certain stage in mass materialization, a Creator Son appears upon the scene, accompanied by a Creative Daughter of the Infinite Spirit. Simultaneously with the arrival of the Creator Son, work is begun on the architectural sphere which is to become the headquarters world of the projected local universe. For long ages such a local creation evolves, suns become stabilized and planets form and swing into their orbits, while the work of creating the architectural worlds which serve as constellation headquarters and system capitals continues.

Ever wonder what orbit determination is, why you do orbit determination, and how to overcome the challenges of knowing if your results are valid? Check out this new blog series by Jens Ramrath, Teresa Brooks-Mejia and Doug Cather.
