📣 Just in! AIAA CEO Dan Dumbacher talked with CNN about the ongoing Starliner mission and the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration/Boeing team's focus on the crew’s safety. Watch his interview here: #AIAA #ascendspace

Black Holes Are No Vacuums! While black holes have a strong gravitational pull, they don't suck everything nearby like a cosmic vacuum cleaner. If the Sun were replaced by a black hole of the same mass, Earth would still orbit it in the same way. The below gif is NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's visualization of the movement of Black Hole.

Hard work and determination pays off

What are Pulsars? These are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars that emit beams of electromagnetic radiation out of their magnetic poles. Pulsars can rotate incredibly fast, with some completing hundreds of rotations per second. The below gif is posted by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

There are over 170 billion galaxies in the observable universe yet there is also a “future visibility limit”! Objects beyond this limit will never enter our observable universe at any time in the infinite future. The reason for this is that light emitted by objects outside that limit would never reach us.

March 2024 was the warmest March on record. Last month continues a streak of records, with the last 10 months each the warmest for their respective months in NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's temperature record, GISTEMP. The global mean temperature anomaly for March 2024 was 1.39°C above the 1951-1980 March average. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/epBCwa-Q

Europa Clipper is up and away! 🚀 NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration bus-sized spacecraft, the Europa Clipper, has embarked on a six-year journey to one of Jupiter's ocean moons. 🌊 Europa's subsurface ocean is larger than all of Earth's oceans combined and may harbour hydrothermal vents, making it a tantalizing target in the search for extraterrestrial life. 🏠 NASA hopes to better understand the moon's habitability with Clipper. 🧩 The Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex that we manage will play a key role in the mission’s success.
