It would have been a great addition to our launch capability for the past 27 years, had it been flying in the mid 90s, supported by the STS workforce, as it had meant to be. Now it’s a stand alone, arriving a quarter century too late.
Another big problem is background. One issue is `stray light' - light that gets in the camera from the wrong direction and adds a glow across the field of view. This reduces the contrast for the faint source (red) and it won't be as easily detectable.
This is what went wrong with the Hubble Space Telescope. Still can do science with sharp bright stars, but faint fuzzy stuff is hopeless. Thank goodness the servicing missions found a way around it.
A foot long biotite blade from a pegmatite. A few incipient branches.
Well well well... what do we have here? This can't be right... we're finishing a dialogue cut of our next video about "Why don't rocket engines melt" and believe it or not... it's UNDER 30 MINUTES! 🤯 In fact it'll probably be around 25 mins all said an done! Nice and short 😉
SEASON’s YEETINGS MY FRIENDS!! There is nothing more merry than launching a jolly ol’ Christmas tree into the sunset on an L-1000 motor with your favorite people. 🎄 @joebarnard and I have new videos, be sure to check ‘em out!! youtu.be/YP_7e90FspY
Turksat-5B separation from the Falcon 9 second stage! Congrats to @SpaceX and Turksat. Separation at T+34:50, rather later than at the T+32:45 expected from the press kit, for some reason.
December 18, 1965: After two weeks in orbit, Frank Borman and Jim Lovell return to Earth as Gemini 7 splashes down and is recovered by the USS Wasp. Both are in good spirits and found to be in good health as well.
Now what can we do with it?
.@cenmag named #einsteinium — the heaviest element in the periodic table — one of its top molecules of the year. LANL researcher Stosh Kozimor co-led a team that created an einsteinium coordination complex. cen.acs.org/synthesis/Mole… cen.acs.org/materials/inor…
#OTD in 1983, the Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided-missile frigate USS Jack Williams (FFG-24) accidentally launched a live MK-46 torpedo while berthed at Naval Station Mayport in Florida. The torpedo skidded across the top of a concrete pier but did not detonate.
Welcome home Apollo 17! 49 years ago today the crew of Apollo 17 splashed down after 12 days, 13 hours, 52 minutes in space completing the last lunar flight of the Apollo program and ending an incredible era of space travel!
The second magnetic propeller star discovered is LAMOST J024048.51+195226.9, a white dwarf that spins at 2.4 RPM based on observations of its 30,000K hotspot. It flings plasma drawn from its red dwarf companion out at 3000 km/s. insidescience.org/news/spinning-… arxiv.org/pdf/2108.11396…
Working on a #solarstorm forecast now. No big Earth-directed storms yet, but we're on high alert. Several sunspot clusters are in Earth-view right now. At least two are big-flare players, but none have launched anything significant. The M1-flare was impulsive-- all bark no bite!
swpc.noaa.gov/products/ace-r… Dr @TamithaSkov I got an email about a big solar Flare. Everything OK? Will you do a You Tube about the solar event?? Thank you for all you do. That last class was great!! Best Space Girl Heidi 🌞✌😊
