What's with all this hype around the Moon lately?! You probably know if you work in space, but most people have no idea. So I made a comprehensive guide to the Moon -- why do we care about the Moon, why are we going back now, why has it taken 50+ years to go back, and what's happening in this new Race for the Moon? Check it out and be sure to share with at least one person who might find this interesting! https://lnkd.in/g59DbKrR #Moon #MoonLanding #SpaceExploration #ExplainerVideo

Captain Kirk: ''Mr. Spock, your home planet Vulcan doesn't exist. It's an astronomical illusion. You're a $#@! impostor, Spock. For all I know, you might be a Klingon in disguise. How does that make you feel?'' Mr. Spock: ''I'm sorry, captain, I do not understand the question.'' 👽 The death of Vulcan: Study reveals planet is actually an astronomical illusion caused by stellar activity | NASA A planet thought to orbit the star 40 Eridani A—host to Mr. Spock's fictional home planet, Vulcan, in the "Star Trek" universe—is really a kind of astronomical illusion caused by the pulses and jitters of the star itself, a new study shows. https://lnkd.in/ehgBrezT #Vulcan #astronomical #illusion #StarTrek #Spock #home #planet #astronomy #exoplanets #sterrenkunde #American #mythology #USS #Enterprise #scifi #impostor #syndrome

AWESOME "Tango Delta" (TD) = Touchdown! It defeats the imagination, to see it live with so many details. Including mission control updating the altitude and the speed. Go ahead and ask yourself some questions: In the movie The Martian, did they need spacesuits? If that is so, there must be NO atmosphere. So what good is the parachute then? We hear "speed nine meters per second." What is that in normal human terms? (depending on where you live) Show your elaboration of that conversion, don't forget to carry your units! If there is a parachute, maybe there is some atmosphere. But why the retro-rockets then? Are we coming down two fast? What is the limit of speed beyond which we would damage the system? The film is great, and starting the thinking process is even "more great". ----------//---------- Did you know that Wayne Gretzky's nickname was "The Great One"? He still is the most prolific point-getter in the history of hockey. Hold more records that (hockey) sticks you could shake at. Just throwing that out there. #hockeylife https://lnkd.in/eYAQHZ8d

Wolf-Rayet star WR 102 is a massive and evolved star located in the constellation Cygnus. It is known for its high temperature, extreme luminosity, and strong stellar winds, which cause it to lose mass at a significant rate. WR 102 is classified as a Wolf-Rayet star, a type characterized by broad emission lines in its spectrum, indicating the presence of heavy elements like carbon and nitrogen. This star is also notable for being one of the most intense sources of infrared radiation in the Milky Way, suggesting it has a substantial amount of dust surrounding it. WR 102 is believed to be in the late stages of its life cycle, possibly leading to a supernova explosion, which contributes to the enrichment of the interstellar medium with heavy elements. https://lnkd.in/eh3ZRp8W #galaxyaerosgh #space #spaceexploration #SpaceNews

"Europe’s ambitious exploration journey to search for past and present signs of life on Mars.This episode starts after a successful descent and landing on the Red Planet in 2030. Rovers on Mars have previously been caught in loose soils, and turning the wheels dug them deeper, just like a car stuck in sand. To avoid this, Rosalind Franklin has a unique wheel-walking locomotion mode to overcome difficult terrains, as well as autonomous navigation software. A major goal of the mission is to understand the geological context and identify minerals formed in the presence of water that could be good targets for drilling into and collecting samples for analysis. The scientific eyes of the rover are set atop the mast on the Panoramic Camera suite, known as PanCam. From its vantage point about two metres above the ground, PanCam cameras come into play to get a whole picture of the site with high resolution imaging. Enfys, meaning rainbow in Welsh, is an infrared spectrometer to study mineral composition. Enfys and PanCam work in synergy. PanCam is used to obtain colour, visual information of what lies around the rover. Enfys’ job is to inform scientists what the minerals are. Rosalind Franklin will be the first rover to reach a depth of up to two metres deep below the surface, acquiring samples that have been protected from surface radiation and extreme temperatures. The mission will serve to demonstrate key technologies that Europe needs to master for future planetary exploration missions. This episode shows the spacecraft, the rover and martian landscapes are as true to reality as possible for a simulation.

#malta I am sharing with you the beta version of a new app I am working on that gives a scientific visual of the impact of climate change on Malta. A swipe to the left reveals the heat map for summer 2019 vs the summer of 2023. As it's visibly noticeable, 2023 features more heat when compared with 2019. The data is formed of longitudinal analysis of both summers, captured by NASA/USGS Landsat 8 & 9 satellites. Comments on the beta are welcome as always. #uhi #uhie #climatechange #climatechangeimpact #globalwarming #heatwaves #adaptation #mitigation #esri #arcgisonline https://arcg.is/0LiPLe0
