The only thing that's makes this launch a success is the Separation of the satellites, then we all witnessed a part of Europes space flight history.
Im sad but also very happy, and of course I wonder what great missions are ahead with the Ariane 6❤️ 🇪🇺 💪🏾
SRS Bogavante now with ink and base colour. Being a lobster was not going to be of another hue than red. Now it looks like a Belgian “ligne claire” comic. Tomorrow I’ll add light and shadow and details. Maybe even a little Easter egg…
@sundogplanets@tehstu “SpaceX had the largest number of satellites — more than 2000 — in orbit at the time of the observations.” 🙀 Over 2000? I don’t know how many Earth satellites I thought were up there but definitely didn’t think one company could have up to 2000 satellites floating around. 💀 #Space#Science#Astronomy#SpaceX
#UMPlus - Galaxy ESO 174-1 https://www.universomagico.net/2023/07/galaxia-eso-174-1.html
ESO 174-1 is an irregular galaxy that looks like a lone, misty cloud located behind a field of bright stars and in front of more distant galaxies. The image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope shows a path of dark gas and dust meandering through the galaxy's disk. ESO 174-1 is located in the direction of the Constellation Centaurus and is..... #astronomy#space#astrophysics#astrophotography
Work in progress. The SRS Bogavante. A planetary research vessel based on a… eh… lobster “Bogavante is Spanish for lobster” Yesterday I watched a lobster on TV and I though “What a nice shape for a spaceship”. Now I need to ink and colour it.
"The Moon’s low gravity and slow rotation mean that a space elevator could be built with materials already available. The honeycomb fiber called M5 is lighter and stronger than Kevlar; a ribbon 3 centimeters wide and 0.02 millimeter thick could support 2,000 kilograms on the lunar surface or 100 climbers with a mass of 600 kilos each, evenly spaced along the ribbon. We could build a lunar elevator right now."

JWST took a look at the first asteroid belt discovered outside our solar system, and the results surprised us. The Fomalhaut system actually has multiple belts!
Navigation system update! Instead of using a fixed point to calculate coordinates, it now uses the ship as the center point. So the coordinates and target indicator update in real time. Navigation is similar to what is used in Star Trek funny enough. #gamedev#space#scifi
But there've been recent #movies and images from #soacecraft that, even more than Dave's end in #2001ASpaceOdyssey, have added a level of fear that has really dampened my previous enthusiasm.
#Perseverance moved to a new location 10m to the north, orienting itself in front of a sizeable rock, and changing site number to 41.
The new NAVCAM images give a wider view to the west. The mosaic below shows a possible path toward Fall River Pass, and the location of the (hidden) #MarsHelicopter, #Ingenuity.
Most meteors are car-sized, and burn up in the atmosphere before reaching us. However, scale it up to a 60-feet-wide two-storey house size, and you have a bomb stronger than the Hiroshima one. - Articles from The Weather Channel | weather.com
