No tuve la suerte de estar en esta isla en el tiempo correcto para ver estas aves, solo hice una imagen tomando una captura de pantalla, ya veis que la calidad fotográfica está ausente aquí, pero vale la pena observar el fenómeno para valorar nuestro bello planeta.
El momento más emocionante para ver flamencos rosados en Cerdeña es durante las primeras semanas de junio, cuando estas aves deciden anidar y poner sus huevos, formando así una nube rosada infinita. Antes del atardecer, cuando todo se pone de color rosa, desde las montañas hasta las salinas, es una maravilla observar estas siluetas de los flamencos apiñados formado un manto rosado debido a que, estas aves comen los "Artemisia salina" o pequeños crustáceos rosados,.. Estos pequeños camarones contribuyen a la coloración rosada de sus plumas y la intensidad del color depende del número de camarones ingeridos.
The couvent des Cordeliers was constructed in the 13th century and was one of the first Franciscan convents in Provence. This photo was taken beneath the bridge that now leads to the Artemisia museum and the Université européenne des senteurs et saveurs.
Artemis I sitting on launch pad 39B close to sunrise, viewed from across the water. Unfortunately the launch was scrubbed due to issues with the third engine. The next possible launch date will be Sept. 2. The crowd on hand to view this launch was huge.
The view from Vero Beach which is about 70 miles south of Cape Canaveral. Artemis I lifted, off after a short delay, at 1:47 AM.

80, Avenue Carnot, Bordeaux
Cet immeuble est bâti en triangle, sur trois niveaux, dans un style Art nouveau très lisse. Sa façade est réalisée en brique claire, jaune doré, sans ornementation, avec quelques détails en pierre taillée. Elle est éclairée par des fenêtres arquées et se termine tout en haut par une remarquable terrasse en toiture.
Cette maison a été dessinée par l'architecte Pierre Ferret en 1910. C'était sa première œuvre, et il l'a utilisée lui-même comme habitation et atelier. Tout l'intérieur a été dessiné par Ferret, qui a fait un très large emploi de pierre taillée, de ferronnerie et de verre.
La large fenêtre compartimentée de l'atelier au premier étage ainsi que l'entrée protégée par une marquise d'une forme inhabituelle attirent particulièrement le regard.

Engineers with Exploration Ground Systems and contractor Jacobs successfully completed the Umbilical Release and Retract Test on Sept. 19 inside the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in preparation for the Artemis I mission.
The umbilicals will provide power, communications, coolant, and fuel to the rocket and the Orion spacecraft while at the launch pad until they disconnect and retract at ignition and liftoff.
This is a close-up view of the Artemis I Space Launch System rocket inside High Bay 3 of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Sept. 20, 2021. All 10 levels of work platforms have been retracted from around the rocket as part of the umbilical release and retract test. During the test, several umbilical arms on the mobile launcher were extended to connect to the SLS rocket and then swung away from the launch vehicle, just as they will on launch day. Artemis I will be the first integrated test of the SLS and Orion spacecraft. In later missions, NASA will land the first woman and the first person of color on the surface of the Moon, paving the way for a long-term lunar presence and serving as a steppingstone on the way to Mars.

This is NASA's Space Launch System ("SLS"), a 365-foot (111.25 meter) rocket that is the most powerful rocket NASA has ever built, seen with the Sun rising behind it.
On March 17, 2022, the SLS rolled to Launch Complex 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center for testing and is scheduled to carry the Orion capsule on an uncrewed journey around the Moon. Dubbed the Artemis mission, the plan is for the SLS to eventually launch astronauts to the surface of the Moon by 2025.
The final launch date will depend on nominal tests during the April 3 "Wet Dress Rehearsal," when the launch crew will take all steps leading up to a launch (including fueling), right up to ignition.
This photo was captured approximately 10-miles away from the rocket using a high-magnification telephoto lens, creating an effect known as lens compression, causing the rocket to look oversized compared to the Sun.
Eight!
Thirty!
Three!
We are now officially one day away from the scheduled 8:33am Monday (8/29) launch of the Space Launch System, Orion and the #Artemis1 mission.

Née en 1931 à Naples, en Italie, Isabella Ducrot est une jeune artiste à la jeune carrière. Comme beaucoup de femmes de sa génération, elle s’est tournée vers l’art après avoir élevé ses enfants. Ses années formatrices ont été marquées par des voyages continus avec son défunt mari, au cours desquels ils ont accumulé des centaines de miniatures persanes et de rares textiles anciens de toutes sortes.
C’est au beau milieu de sa collection de peintures d’artistes baroques tels que Battistello Caracciolo, Carlo Dolci, Artemisia Gentileschi et Luca Giordano, de dizaines de délicieuses miniatures persanes et indiennes, de morceaux de tapis du XVIIe siècle, et d’autres tissus antiques qu’Isabella Ducrot a passé sa vie et y a forgé la volonté réelle et exigeante de construire sa propre œuvre. Elle a relevé le défi il y a quelques dizaines d’années en transcrivant histoires et citations sur du papier, des tissus et des collages.
Au fil des années, elle a créé une multitude de pièces, audacieuses, lisses, translucides, colorées et/ou strictement minimalistes, qui représentent par exemple des paysages ou des couples amoureux.
Comme elle l’a un jour écrit, « on peut facilement dessiner deux personnes amoureuses l’une de l’autre, mais la tendresse n’apparaît pas toujours. J’essaie de faire ressortir la tendresse, la tendresse et la possibilité du toucher ».
Elle range soigneusement des fleurs en pots, des théières et d’autres collages en forme de kimono dans les grands tiroirs de son studio à Rome au rez-de-chaussée du Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, où elle réside également.
Son choix d’un type particulier de papier japonais qu’elle badigeonne d’encres noires et colorées – un papier souple mais robuste, léger, doux et souvent utilisé à des fins de restauration – l’a amené à développer son fa presto, un clin d’œil à son bien-aimé Luca « Fa Presto » Giordano accroché dans l’entrée de son appartement.
Born in 1931 in Naples, Italy, Isabella Ducrot is a young artist with a young career. Like many women of her generation, she turned to art after raising her children. Her formative years were marked by continuous travels with her late husband, during which they accumulated hundreds of Persian miniatures and rare antique textiles of all kinds.
It was in the midst of her collection of paintings by Baroque artists such as Battistello Caracciolo, Carlo Dolci, Artemisia Gentileschi, and Luca Giordano, dozens of exquisite Persian and Indian miniatures, pieces of 17th-century carpets, and other antique textiles that Isabella Ducrot spent her life and forged the real and demanding will to build her own oeuvre. She took up the challenge a few decades ago by transcribing stories and quotes onto paper, fabrics, and collages.
Over the years, she has created a multitude of bold, smooth, translucent, colorful and/or strictly minimalist pieces, depicting, for example, landscapes or couples in love.
As she once wrote, “you can easily draw two people in love with each other, but tenderness doesn’t always appear. I try to bring out tenderness, tenderness and the possibility of touch.”
She carefully stores potted flowers, teapots and other kimono-shaped collages in the large drawers of her studio in Rome on the ground floor of the Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, where she also resides.
Her choice of a particular type of Japanese paper that she brushes with black and colored inks – a flexible but sturdy paper, light, soft and often used for restoration purposes – led her to develop her fa presto, a nod to her beloved Luca “Fa Presto” Giordano hanging in the entrance of her apartment.

At 12:40 p.m. EST, Dec. 11, 2022, the Orion spacecraft for the Artemis I mission splashed down in the Pacific Ocean after a 25.5-day mission to the Moon. Flight controllers in mission control at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston spent about two hours performing tests in open water to gather additional data about the spacecraft. Orion was then recovered by NASA’s Landing and Recovery team, U.S. Navy and Department of Defense partners aboard the USS Portland. Recovery personnel also spent time collecting detailed imagery of the spacecraft before beginning to pull the capsule into the USS Portland’s well deck. The ship will soon begin its trip back to U.S. Naval Base San Diego, where engineers will remove Orion from the ship in preparation for transport back to Kennedy Space Center in Florida for post-flight analysis. Orion is expected to arrive to shore Dec. 13.

This composite made from 10 images shows the progression of the Moon during a total lunar eclipse above the Vehicle Assembly Building, Nov. 8, 2022, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Visible trailing the Moon in this composite is Mars.
For North America, the partial eclipse began at 4:09 a.m. EST, with totality beginning at 5:16 a.m. One feature of a total lunar eclipse is the Moon’s red hue during totality. The red color occurs because of the refraction, filtering, and scattering of light by Earth’s atmosphere.

The Space Launch System (SLS) rocket with the Orion spacecraft aboard lifted off at 07:47 CEST from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA on 16 November 2022.
The most powerful rocket ever built sent NASA’s Orion spacecraft and ESA’s European Service Module (ESM) to a journey beyond the Moon and back. No crew will be on board Orion this time, and the spacecraft will be controlled by teams on Earth.
ESM provides for all astronauts’ basic needs, such as water, oxygen, nitrogen, temperature control, power and propulsion.
Much like a train engine pulls passenger carriages and supplies power, the European Service Module will take the Orion capsule to its destination and back.

The Earth is seen setting from the far side of the Moon just beyond the Orion spacecraft in this video taken on the sixth day of the Artemis I mission by a camera on the tip of one of Orion’s solar arrays. The spacecraft was preparing for the Outbound Powered Flyby maneuver which would bring it within 80 miles of the lunar surface, the closest approach of the uncrewed Artemis I mission, before moving into a distant retrograde orbit around the Moon. The spacecraft entered the lunar sphere of influence Sunday, Nov. 20, making the Moon, instead of Earth, the main gravitational force acting on the spacecraft.

The pieces are stacking up for the launch of Artemis 1 mission around the Moon and back. The massive Space Launch Systems (SLS) rocket that will launch the first crewless test flight of the Orion spacecraft, powered by the European Service Module, is being integrated at the Vehicle Assemble Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA.
Visible in this image are the twin solid fuel rocket boosters, now fully stacked atop the mobile launcher. The boosters will be mated with the rocket’s 65 m tall core stage that recently barged in to Florida aboard the Pegasus barge on 27 April after successful testing at NASA’s Stennis Space Center in Mississippi.
Once the rocket stages are ready to go, the Orion spacecraft and additional flight hardware are next up for integration.
Since our last Orion and the European Service Module update for Artemis I, the spacecraft has moved, from the NASA Kennedy Space Center’s Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout facility, a few kilometres down the road to the Multi Payload Processing Facility. The names of these buildings give the game away. The first Orion spacecraft has been checked out and is ready for the next step on the road to space: processing for launch.
Fuelling was completed on 1 April, after which the system will be serviced in high pressure helium that serves as a pressurisation agent to the European Service Module propellant tanks, ensuring the correct pressure at the engine inlets.
Eventually, the spacecraft will be hoisted to the top of the fully stacked SLS rocket.
Read more updates on the Orion blog.
The European Service Module is ESA’s contribution to NASA’s Orion spacecraft that will send astronauts, including the first European, to the Moon and beyond. Follow Europe’s role in the mission here.

Farewell 2022! Looking back on a historic year for NASA, there were great accomplishments, such as the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope and the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission success. But the high point has to be the launch and return to Earth of the Artemis I mission. Here is an image of NASA’s Space Launch System rocket carrying the Orion spacecraft into space on the Artemis I flight test, Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2022, from Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Snoopy, the zero gravity indicator that flew aboard Orion during the Artemis I mission, wears a smile after being unpacked from his transport case on Jan. 5, 2023.
Zero gravity indicators are small items carried aboard spacecraft that provide a visual indicator when a spacecraft has reached the weightlessness of microgravity. NASA has held an association with Snoopy since the Apollo Era – the character has contributed to the excitement for NASA human spaceflight missions, helping inspire generations to dream big, and is a symbol of NASA’s safety culture and mission success.

View of ESA's European Service Module that is powering NASA's Orion spacecraft, pointing at our planet and the Moon, taken on the 13th day of flight for the Artemis I mission at 22:06 CET (21:06 GMT), 28 November 2022. It shows Orion and the European Service Module halfway through the Artemis I mission near its maximum distance from Earth, at 432210 km from our home planet and over 64 000 km from the Moon. Seen from the spacecraft our planet had just passed behind the Moon when this photo was taken, as Orion was in lunar orbit.
This picture was presented to French President Emmanuel Macron during his visit to NASA’s headquarters in Washington D.C., USA, on 30 November.
Cameras placed at the end of Orion’s four European-built solar array wings are recording the Artemis mission as engineers test the uncrewed Orion spacecraft’s capabilities, preparing for missions with astronauts to the Moon.
After its launch on November 16, Orion has circled the Moon on its 25-day Artemis I mission. Orion was launched by the NASA Space Launch System rocket at 7:47 CET (06:47 GMT) from launchpad 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA.ac
The European Service Module is powering Orion, providing propulsion, temperature control, electricity as well as storage and delivery for essential supplies such as fuel, water and air. The uncrewed mission to learn as much as possible about Orion and its European Service Module’s performance. The primary objectives are to demonstrate Orion’s heat shield on reentry, demonstrate operations and facilities during all mission phases, and retrieve the spacecraft after splashdown.

NASA has completed the design certification review (DCR) for the Space Launch System Program (SLS) rocket ahead of the Artemis I mission to send the Orion spacecraft to the Moon. This close-up view shows the SLS rocket for Artemis I inside High Bay 3 of the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Sept. 20, 2021. Inside the VAB, the rocket recently completed the umbilical retract and release test and the integrated modal test. With the completion of the SLS design, NASA has now certified the SLS and Orion spacecraft designs, as well as the new Launch Control Center at Kennedy for the Artemis I mission.

NASA’s Orion spacecraft, powered by ESA’s European Service Module, shares a stunning new take on ‘Earth rise’ following the return powered flyby of the Moon.
This image was taken on 5 December, flight day 20, after the spacecraft completed a 3 minute 27 second burn to swing around the Moon and back to Earth.
Just before the burn, Orion made its second and final close approach to the Moon at 17:43 CET (16:43 GMT), passing 130 km above the lunar surface.
The burn, which used the European Service Module’s main engine, changed the velocity of the spacecraft by about 1054 km/h. It was the final major engine burn of the Artemis I mission.
Orion is due to splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on 11 December to complete the 25-day Artemis I mission.
“Orion is heading home!” said NASA administrator Bill Nelson. “The lunar flyby enabled the spacecraft to harness the Moon’s gravity and slingshot it back toward Earth for splashdown. Next up, reentry!”
Sadly, but necessarily, the European Service Module’s contribution to Artemis ends 40 minutes before splashdown. Together with the Crew Module Adapter these elements of the Orion spacecraft will detach from the Crew Module and burn up harmlessly in the atmosphere, leaving Orion on its own for the last crucial minutes to splashdown.

When NASA’s Artemis I mission launches later this year, thousands of cameras will capture the historic first flight of NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft.
Some cameras, though, are focused on carefully placed markings on the rocket, spacecraft, and mobile launcher. These cameras aim to capture portions of the countdown and launch and will provide valuable data to engineering teams following launch and flight.
A variety of black-and-white patterns are painted on the rocket and spacecraft and used as targets for the cameras. Some designs, like the checkered rings on each solid rocket booster, are used by cameras on the rocket. In the case of the black ring below the nose cone on the left-hand solid rocket booster, it allows the engineers to easily distinguish the right booster from the left since the vehicle is very symmetric and some of the cameras will have a tight field of view. Other patterns, though, are best viewed at a distance.

On the sixth day of the Artemis I mission, Nov. 21, 2022, the Orion spacecraft’s optical navigation camera captured black-and-white images of craters on the Moon below. This photo and others captured are the closest photos of the Moon from a human-rated vessel since Apollo. The optical navigation camera takes black-and-white imagery of the Earth and the Moon at different phases and distances; this technology demonstration will help prove its effectiveness for future missions with crew.
