Happy 50th anniversary La Silla Observatory
from yours @Spaceholix
with our travelbuddies,
the #SpaceMascots
@PinkLilDragon & houseguest @CamillaSpace
Thank YOU for being such a vital part of #TheCreationOfSpaceInspiration - not only for our family!
By discovering @ESO on social media back in 2012 during your #ESO50Years contest
YOU -amongst other space and science agencies- daily increased my curiosity and my wish to learn more about things out of my everyday business,
to explore and try things well outside my comfort zone and to #DareMightyThings.
One small step led to another and by nurturing that seed in me, an amazing journey gained speed for the three of us.
Thanks to the #MagicPowerOfSocialMedia,
my family and I explored some the most amazing places, met some the most inspiring people ever since, connected with people from all walks of life and from all around our beautiful #BlueDot sharing our passion for #Space and #Science - turning into an ever growing #SpaceFamily.
Thus YOU helped to enrich our lives with numerous unforgettable and often #ForrestGumpLikeMemories.
In a few of my entries for your first contest #ESO50Years #GoParanal from 2012 I wrote that I want to inspire my little one and to show him the beauty of our world and our universe and I am happy that -so far- we had many great chances doing so and I am looking forward to the future.
Sometimes I am wondering, how this German gal here with no professional scientific background at all did become a certified #AsteroidHunterRookie and #MeteoriteHunterRookie, live tweeted from @CERN‘s #LHC and -together with my family attended many space / science events by ESA and NASA TEDx and SpaceUp conferences traveling around our marble,...
... Organizing small space gatherings and sharing my art work and little mementos of our adventures specially designed for many of those events with all attendees AND speakers became a fond tradition in the past 7 years.
And having seen many astronauts, from Mercury and Apollo who flew to and walked on the moon to today’s inhabitants of the #ISS, astronomers, scientists, and our growing #SpaceFamily wearing my badges and lanyards and having them sign our Thank You posters always makes me smile.
And having become a member of the #IAAA (INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ASTRONOMICAL ARTISTS iaaa.org), with my artwork being auctioned off by Apollo astronauts and a painting which will be exhibited under #SpaceShuttle #Atlantis on 21.12.2018 during the #Apollo8 #Earthrise celebration also marking the launch of project #Constellation created by Nicole Passonno Stott, Ron Garan, Anousheh Ansari and Leland Melvin AT Kennedy Space Center in Florida will forever be surreal.
As THIS is the place where I finally fell in love with everything around #Space during watching my 1st of 3 #SpaceShuttle launches of #STS115 back in 2006.
AND from where I sent my very first tweet EVER on July 8th 2011, while watching the final launch of #Shuttle #Atlantis together with @LightspeedLeo on the day he turned 9 months old. What a birthday candle that was.
#OneSmallStepForHumankindOneGiantLeapForMe
I LOVE it, when things come to full circles ;-)

I am so looking forward to the day when our now 8 year old son will understand, whom he met since being a toddler and to which places we were invited.
So I want to thank all of you around @ESO for inviting the public to #ReachingBeyondTheStars -literally and figuratively and for doing what you do.
You all make a difference.
And knowing that OUR story is only one of many inspired by your work is amazing.

"Both sides of the Atlantic Ocean are visible in this view from the Apollo 8 spacecraft. The large, most prominent land mass is the bulge of west Africa. The portion of Africa near the equator is dark and cloudy, but the more northerly portions are clear, showing the prominent cape at Dakar and the Senegal River in Senegal; Cap Blanc; the Adrar Plateau in Mauritania; the wide expanse of desert in Algeria and Spanish Sahara; and at the far edge, the Atlas and Anti-Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Clouds cover the eastern coast of South America, southward from Surinam and Guyana to near the City of Salvador, Brazil. This view was taken after translunar insertion."

This SH-3 Sea King was assigned to Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Four (HS-4).
HS-4 was the first anti-submarine warfare (ASW) helicopter squadron of the U.S. Navy to deploy aboard an aircraft carrier, the escort carrier USS Rendova.
HS-4 was on scene for Apollo missions 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13. The recovery was always made by "Helicopter 66". The helicopter's flight number was changed from "66" to "740", as after the Apollo 11 recovery the U.S. Navy had switched to a three number squadron designator - but the helicopter was repainted with the number "66" for each recovery thereafter for public relations reasons. HS-4 earned a Meritorious Unit Commendation (MUC) for these recoveries. For the recovery of Apollo 13 in April 1970, HS-4 was assigned to the helicopter carrier USS Iwo Jima.
Helicopter "66" now sits on display on the USS Midway (CV-41) in San Diego, CA.

@PinkLilDragon & houseguest @CamillaSpace
Thank YOU for being such a vital part of #TheCreationOfSpaceInspiration - not only for our family!
By discovering @ESO on social media back in 2012 during your #ESO50Years contest
YOU -amongst other space and science agencies- daily increased my curiosity and my wish to learn more about things out of my everyday business,
to explore and try things well outside my comfort zone and to #DareMightyThings.
One small step led to another and by nurturing that seed in me, an amazing journey gained speed for the three of us.
Thanks to the #MagicPowerOfSocialMedia,
my family and I explored some the most amazing places, met some the most inspiring people ever since, connected with people from all walks of life and from all around our beautiful #BlueDot sharing our passion for #Space and #Science - turning into an ever growing #SpaceFamily.
Thus YOU helped to enrich our lives with numerous unforgettable and often #ForrestGumpLikeMemories.
In a few of my entries for your first contest #ESO50Years #GoParanal from 2012 I wrote that I want to inspire my little one and to show him the beauty of our world and our universe and I am happy that -so far- we had many great chances doing so and I am looking forward to the future.
Sometimes I am wondering, how this German gal here with no professional scientific background at all did become a certified #AsteroidHunterRookie and #MeteoriteHunterRookie, live tweeted from @CERN‘s #LHC and -together with my family attended many space / science events by ESA and NASA TEDx and SpaceUp conferences traveling around our marble,...
... Organizing small space gatherings and sharing my art work and little mementos of our adventures specially designed for many of those events with all attendees AND speakers became a fond tradition in the past 7 years.
And having seen many astronauts, from Mercury and Apollo who flew to and walked on the moon to today’s inhabitants of the #ISS, astronomers, scientists, and our growing #SpaceFamily wearing my badges and lanyards and having them sign our Thank You posters always makes me smile.
And having become a member of the #IAAA (INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ASTRONOMICAL ARTISTS iaaa.org), with my artwork being auctioned off by Apollo astronauts and a painting which will be exhibited under #SpaceShuttle #Atlantis on 21.12.2018 during the #Apollo8 #Earthrise celebration also marking the launch of project #Constellation created by Nicole Passonno Stott, Ron Garan, Anousheh Ansari and Leland Melvin AT Kennedy Space Center in Florida will forever be surreal.
As THIS is the place where I finally fell in love with everything around #Space during watching my 1st of 3 #SpaceShuttle launches of #STS115 back in 2006.
AND from where I sent my very first tweet EVER on July 8th 2011, while watching the final launch of #Shuttle #Atlantis together with @LightspeedLeo on the day he turned 9 months old. What a birthday candle that was.

I am so looking forward to the day when our now 8 year old son will understand, whom he met since being a toddler and to which places we were invited.
So I want to thank all of you around @ESO for inviting the public to #ReachingBeyondTheStars -literally and figuratively and for doing what you do.
You all make a difference.
And knowing that OUR story is only one of many inspired by your work is amazing.

This week’s Throwback Thursday photos are from January 10, 1969 – FDNY Tower Ladders at the NYC ticker tape parade for Astronauts Frank Borman, James A. Lovell, and William A. Anders, following the Apollo 8 mission to the Moon.
Known as "The Fighting Lady", the USS Yorktown - located at Patriot's Point in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina - is the fourth US Navy ship named after the Revolutionary War Battle. Built in 1943, the USS Yorktown was a Pacific fleet aircraft carrier and served during WWII and the Vietnam War. In 1968, the aircraft carrier completed one of her final duties serving as a recovery ship for the Apollo 8 space mission. Officially decommissioned in 1970, the USS Yorktown was donated to the Patriot's Point Development Authority and was granted National Historic Landmark status in 1986. The carrier is now a museum ship and offers incredible insight into operations and living conditions while aboard. Additionally fighter jets, an Apollo 8 replica and a Medal of Honor museum offer educational exploration that can easily eat up the day~!

This view of the rising Earth greeted the Apollo 8 astronauts as they came from behind the Moon after the fourth nearside orbit. The photo is displayed here in its original orientation, though it is more commonly viewed with the lunar surface at the bottom of the photo. Earth is about five degrees left of the horizon in the photo. The unnamed surface features on the left are near the eastern limb of the Moon as viewed from Earth. The lunar horizon is approximately 780 kilometers from the spacecraft. Height of the photographed area at the lunar horizon is about 175 kilometers.

Happy 50th anniversary La Silla Observatory
from yours @Spaceholix
with our travelbuddies,
the #SpaceMascots
@PinkLilDragon & houseguest @CamillaSpace
Thank YOU for being such a vital part of #TheCreationOfSpaceInspiration - not only for our family!
By discovering @ESO on social media back in 2012 during your #ESO50Years contest
YOU -amongst other space and science agencies- daily increased my curiosity and my wish to learn more about things out of my everyday business,
to explore and try things well outside my comfort zone and to #DareMightyThings.
One small step led to another and by nurturing that seed in me, an amazing journey gained speed for the three of us.
Thanks to the #MagicPowerOfSocialMedia,
my family and I explored some the most amazing places, met some the most inspiring people ever since, connected with people from all walks of life and from all around our beautiful #BlueDot sharing our passion for #Space and #Science - turning into an ever growing #SpaceFamily.
Thus YOU helped to enrich our lives with numerous unforgettable and often #ForrestGumpLikeMemories.
In a few of my entries for your first contest #ESO50Years #GoParanal from 2012 I wrote that I want to inspire my little one and to show him the beauty of our world and our universe and I am happy that -so far- we had many great chances doing so and I am looking forward to the future.
Sometimes I am wondering, how this German gal here with no professional scientific background at all did become a certified #AsteroidHunterRookie and #MeteoriteHunterRookie, live tweeted from @CERN‘s #LHC and -together with my family attended many space / science events by ESA and NASA TEDx and SpaceUp conferences traveling around our marble,...
... Organizing small space gatherings and sharing my art work and little mementos of our adventures specially designed for many of those events with all attendees AND speakers became a fond tradition in the past 7 years.
And having seen many astronauts, from Mercury and Apollo who flew to and walked on the moon to today’s inhabitants of the #ISS, astronomers, scientists, and our growing #SpaceFamily wearing my badges and lanyards and having them sign our Thank You posters always makes me smile.
And having become a member of the #IAAA (INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ASTRONOMICAL ARTISTS iaaa.org), with my artwork being auctioned off by Apollo astronauts and a painting which will be exhibited under #SpaceShuttle #Atlantis on 21.12.2018 during the #Apollo8 #Earthrise celebration also marking the launch of project #Constellation created by Nicole Passonno Stott, Ron Garan, Anousheh Ansari and Leland Melvin AT Kennedy Space Center in Florida will forever be surreal.
As THIS is the place where I finally fell in love with everything around #Space during watching my 1st of 3 #SpaceShuttle launches of #STS115 back in 2006.
AND from where I sent my very first tweet EVER on July 8th 2011, while watching the final launch of #Shuttle #Atlantis together with @LightspeedLeo on the day he turned 9 months old. What a birthday candle that was.
#OneSmallStepForHumankindOneGiantLeapForMe
I LOVE it, when things come to full circles ;-)

I am so looking forward to the day when our now 8 year old son will understand, whom he met since being a toddler and to which places we were invited.
So I want to thank all of you around @ESO for inviting the public to #ReachingBeyondTheStars -literally and figuratively and for doing what you do.
You all make a difference.
And knowing that OUR story is only one of many inspired by your work is amazing.

This SH-3 Sea King was assigned to Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Four (HS-4).
HS-4 was the first anti-submarine warfare (ASW) helicopter squadron of the U.S. Navy to deploy aboard an aircraft carrier, the escort carrier USS Rendova.
HS-4 was on scene for Apollo missions 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13. The recovery was always made by "Helicopter 66". The helicopter's flight number was changed from "66" to "740", as after the Apollo 11 recovery the U.S. Navy had switched to a three number squadron designator - but the helicopter was repainted with the number "66" for each recovery thereafter for public relations reasons. HS-4 earned a Meritorious Unit Commendation (MUC) for these recoveries. For the recovery of Apollo 13 in April 1970, HS-4 was assigned to the helicopter carrier USS Iwo Jima.
Helicopter "66" now sits on display on the USS Midway (CV-41) in San Diego, CA.
