Le rover Curiosity a brisé une roche en roulant dessus, dévoilant des cristaux clairs et laiteux. La zone étant riche en sulfates, il est très probable que ce soit des cristaux de gypse, parmi les plus beaux que je vois depuis le début de la mission ! 1/3
Seeking new data, the James Webb Space Telescope is observing objects that are old acquaintances to the Hubble Space Telescope. Magic Universe proposes a slow transition of the images of both devices in orbit to better see what is new in Webb's latest observations, activate this transition by placing the mouse over the image or clicking on touch screens. The objective of..... #astronomy#space#astrophysics#astrophotography
#PPOD: This scene is a mosaic of two Right Mastcam-Z camera images taken by NASA's Perseverance rover on 27 May 2024 at a local time of 3:15 pm. The color approximates natural human vision. Most boulders are largely basaltic, with evidence of being rounded by wind. We can't wait to learn the composition of the lighter-toned one in the middle of the scene, though, as it appears to be something different. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/Paul Byrne
This week's Featured Links post has links to articles about how an update to the Drake equation suggests we may be alone in the galaxy, how Hispanics in South Florida are fighting disinformation, will Musk's Starlink satellites lead to Kessler syndrome, and more.
On Sol 1168 the rover moved to RMC 52.5032 across the ancient riverbed and stopped a few meters away from a light colored layer of rock at the foot of the northern bank, which appears to be the same layer with that of Bright Angel.
¹"the bacon strip": unofficial name for a light colored layer of rock back at the Three Forks area.
"This Article examines the growing number of soon-to-be-ubiquitous constellations of small satellites and the special problems they pose. It also suggests some legal reforms to combat the dilemmas and temper an otherwise dangerous renewal of an unconstrained and unproductive international race to space."
"As the numbers of rocket launches and commercial aircraft flights increase, the probability of a catastrophic collision between an aircraft and reentering space debris is also growing. ... From a broad economic perspective, space companies are externalizing some of their risks and costs and imposing them on the aviation industry."

Cette nuit, la sonde Chang'e 6 🇨🇳 s'est posée dans le cratère Apollo sur la face cachée de la Lune 🌒
Il transporte l'instrument DORN 🇫🇷 qui va mesurer le taux de radon.
Tellement heureux pour mes amis toulousains qui l'ont conçu et l'opèrent !
Messier 53 (M53) is a globular cluster located in the constellation Coma Berenices. Messier 53 reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight around April 10th.
Last minute change to the Boeing CFT manifest — a urine processor on the ISS failed, apparently, and Boeing is taking a new one up for them. They had to pull off crew suitcases to make room.

Nuts, bolts, rivets, springs, metal sheets, brackets, cables, connectors, wave-guides, antennas, all designed by naturally intelligent (NI™) beings and assembled by their dexterous hands to form a multi-functional creature that was sent to operate on an inhospitable planet 15 light-minutes away, and which is presently capturing images of what appears to be an epic "selfie" at a hill in the middle of a long since dry ancient riverbed.
What is the basis conditions of the #UI#UX design of our rotating simulator for astronauts? Loads from the resulting accelerations, vibrations, optimal viewing direction, protection from accidental clicks.
