The 2015 Explore@NASAGoddard event, on Sept. 26, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope. Investigating everything from black holes to planets around other stars, Hubble has ushered in a new chapter of humanity’s exploration of the universe, and the venerable telescope continues to answer some of the most compelling astronomical questions of our time.
Additionally, all areas of Goddard’s research – Earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, astrophysics, and engineering and technology – were presented, as each discipline plays a critical part in NASA's ongoing journey to reach new heights, reveal the unknown and advance scientific understanding for the benefit of humankind.

The Watch
2016 Rolex Explorer 214270 (the 39mm with 3-hands) has a more relevant display. New hands, new indexes were with improved proportions. The iconic 3 – 6 – 9 indexes – considered the most important part of the Explorer – are now coated with blue Chromalight luminous material, as are the indexes and the hands.
The 2016 Rolex Explorer 214270 still features its 39mm Oyster case, in 904L stainless steel, water resistant to 100m, with flat and a polished bezel and a 3-link Oyster bracelet with brushed surfaces and the Oysterlock clasp, with the Easylink adjustment.
The 2016 Rolex Explorer 214270 also has the Superlative Chronometer certification, done in-house by Rolex and with stricter criteria (-2/+2 seconds per day). It also is guaranteed for 5 years.
Brief History of the Rolex Explorer
Most people believe the Explorer I was launched by Rolex for commemorating the Everest expedition and that this watch was with the British explorer team consisting of Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay on 29th, May of 1953 when they climbed to the top of Everest. This story sounds appealing, however, it is not accurate. Rolex supported the Himalayan expeditions beginning in 1933, and later the Everest expeditions. Rolex was the official supporter, and each explorer team was provided with Rolex wristwatches. The fact is, Rolex was not the only supporter. It is reported that when Edmund Hillary climbed to the top of Everest, he was wearing a watch from the British supporter Smith. Climber Tenzing Norgay wore a Rolex.
The Explorer was based on the already existing tough and hard wearing bubbleback, which was modified by Rolex for the more active and adventurous customers. In 1952, the references 6098 and 6150 (both using the A296 movement) were the first prototypes of Explorer to be used by climbers; they were watches with white dials and leaf shaped hands and did not bear the name Explorer yet.
Before Hillary and Norgay climbed Everest, Rolex did not name their watches Explorer. Although Rolex registered the trade mark Explorer in Geneva on 26th, Jan of 1953, the Explorer gained its name after Hillary and Norgay climbed Everest. “Explorer” was added on Ref.6350 after the successful climbing of 1953.
I don't upload a new version of this every single time a new picture makes it onto explore, but I couldn't resist posting this nice and very rewarding 6x8 grid. Thanks to everybody who comments on my pictures or looks at them, has added them to their favourites or has blogged them. Flickr rocks!

Never stop exploring.
This is a "re-do" of a photo I made a couple of years ago for the same theme. I used the same scrapbook paper background and scrabble letters to spell the word. You can see the first one here: www.flickr.com/photos/leslieshappyheart/17339935052/in/al...
She is Emiko, my Lady Camellia Blythe doll. This is the first time I've photographed her without her kimono. I was reluctant to take it off, because it is rather involved to put back on...and I fear that she may never wear it again!
Adding my own twist to this tutorial, give it a try!
A thank you to ClaraDon for finding this tutorial, thanks Don!
