With 14 electric motors turning propellers and all of them integrated into a uniquely-designed wing, NASA will test new propulsion technology using an experimental airplane now designated the X-57 and nicknamed “Maxwell.” This concept image illustrates NASA's X-57 plane in flight. via NASA ift.tt/1sJCEBk
Neil Armstrong trained for the Apollo 11 mission at NASA Langley's Lunar Landing Research Facility on equipment that cancelled all but one-sixth of Earth's gravitational force. Armstrong offered perhaps the greatest tribute to the importance of his training when asked what it was like to land on the moon, replying, "Like Langley." via NASA ift.tt/2tjeylH

Like a rainbow at night, a beautiful moonbow shines above the western horizon in this deserted beach scene from Molokai Island, Hawaii, USA, planet Earth. Captured last June 17 in early morning hours, the lights along the horizon are from Honolulu and cities on the island of Oahu some 30 miles away. So where was the Moon? A rainbow is produced by sunlight internally reflected in rain drops from the direction opposite the Sun back toward the observer. As the light passes from air to water and back to air again, longer wavelengths are refracted (bent) less than shorter ones resulting in the separation of colors. And so the moonbow is produced as raindrops reflect moonlight from the direction opposite the Moon. That puts the Moon directly behind the photographer, still low and rising over the eastern horizon, a few days past its full phase. via NASA ift.tt/1tbIhm1

Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge is the premier national science competition for students in grades 5 through 8. The Young Scientist Challenge is designed to encourage the exploration of science among America’s youth and to promote the importance of science communication. In 1999, Discovery Communications, LLC, launched the competition to nurture the next generation of American scientists at a critical age when interest in science begins to decline. Over the past nine years, more than 540,000 middle school students have been nominated to participate in the competition, and winners have gone on to speak in front of members of Congress, work with the nation’s top scientists, and pursue academic careers in the sciences.

Ultraviolet astronomy photos taken with telescope on moon, Apollo 16.
Disclaimer: I am not endorsed by NASA, I have done this out of intrest for the Apollo Program in my free time.
Captured: Earth
File information:
This set includes Apollo 16 UVC scans from NASA converted to JPGs by Thomas.
This set also includes unconverted scans from NASA, with a RAW prefix and .raw extension. The latter can not be read by conventional image software. For more information on how it was scanned, see NSSDC link below.
To get the RAW files, see 'Download options' window and click on 'SHOW ALL'
Why, and story:
The Apollo 16 UVC experiment photos are not all readily available on the internet. Original files have been received by NASA by asking here:
nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/datasetDisplay.do?id=ASUV-00017
At this website you can read how the raw files were decoded into image files viewable by modern operating systems: www3.telus.net/summa/faruv/explain.htm
Usefull Information:
The Revised S201 catalog of far-ultraviolet objects inspects some images in detail. A great source of information.

Late Friday night, 40 high school girls arrived at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, for a STEM-themed sleepover, ready to learn about careers in Science, technology, engineering and math. The educational event offered young women a chance to meet working female scientists and to discover opportunities for women in STEM-related professions.
The teens kicked off the third annual STEM Girls Night In with an astronaut Q&A, talks from female scientists across disciplines and a collection of hands-on activities. The night culminated in a three-hour Mars rover competition and concluded with a late-night showing of “Hidden Figures.”

STS-118 was the first flight of the Station-Shuttle Power Transfer System (SSPTS) -- the new system we went to KSC to watch being tested. I sat OJT on the EGIL (electrical/cryo) console to watch it in action and study how well our performance predictions matched up with its actual operation. Since SSPTS converts excess Space Station power to Shuttle power, we use less cryo to generate electricity and can stay docked to Station for several more days.
In Mission Control, there is a plaque on the wall for each mission completed in that control room (there are other rooms you don't see on TV). My co-worker Christi was one of the EGILs who helped work on SSPTS for years while it was being developed and built, and she was Lead EGIL for STS-118, so she got to hang the plaque after 118 landed. The "Hang the Plaque" award is like being named MVP for that mission.
BTW, they take these team photos in one of the brief LOS (Loss of Signal) periods during the mission, where there is no telemetry being received, so the whole room isn't shirking their respective duties like it may appear.

America's first Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), the air force's Atlas rocket (Series-A) was first launched successfully in December, 1955. In August, 1058 a Series-B Atlas was launched, achieving a range of 4022km (2500 miles). Originally designed as an extremely powerful weapon transport, the Atlas was selected by NASA for launching manned and unmanned spacecraft into Earth orbit: In february, 1962, John Glenn was launched aboard a Mercury-Atlas vehicle, becoming the first American to orbit Earth. The rocket launched three more mercury astronauts: Carpenter (May, 1962), Schirra (October, 1962), and Cooper (May, 1963). The Atlas could achieve Earth orbit in part because of its lightweight, dime-thin aluminium airframe, which is always kept pressurized. Beginning in 1962 and on through the early 1970s, Atlas-Agena vehicles (added Agena upper stage) launched Ranger and Lunar Orbiter probes while Atlas-Centaur launched Surveyor (moon) and Mariner (Venus) probes.
