27/03/24. LRT Depot station, Kaohsiung. A McDonnell Douglas DC-8-72. A seven-hour flight that took off from Rayong, Thailand and landed in Osan, South Korea. On its way, it flew over the south of Taiwan twice (two return trips up to Yunlin County on the west coast, before flying up the east coast of Taiwan).
Hot, young stars and cosmic pillars of gas and dust seem to crowd into NGC 7822. At the edge of a giant molecular cloud toward the northern constellation Cepheus, this glowing star forming region lies about 3,000 light-years away. Within the nebula, bright edges and complex dust sculptures dominate this detailed skyscape taken in infrared light by NASA's Wide Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite. The atomic emission by the cluster's gas is powered by energetic radiation from the hot stars, whose powerful winds and light also sculpt and erode the denser pillar shapes. Stars could still be forming inside the pillars by gravitational collapse, but as the pillars are eroded away, any forming stars will ultimately be cut off from their reservoir of star stuff. This field spans around 40 light-years at the estimated distance of NGC 7822. via NASA ift.tt/1vG6nbo
These scenes were captured during in the Goddard’s LRO Mission Operation Control Center during the critical Lunar Orbit Insertion burn on June 23, 2009. After a four and a half day journey from the Earth, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO, has successfully entered orbit around the moon. Engineers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., confirmed the spacecraft's lunar orbit insertion at 6:27 a.m. EDT Tuesday. During transit to the moon, engineers performed a mid-course correction to get the spacecraft in the proper position to reach its lunar destination. Since the moon is always moving, the spacecraft shot for a target point ahead of the moon. When close to the moon, LRO used its rocket motor to slow down until the gravity of the moon caught the spacecraft in lunar orbit.

The goal of this group is to encourage people to re-interpret and remix the great photo libarary NASA has released into the public domain. Please take this photo Remix It, make a Mashup by combing this photos with other images or textures and reinvent it into a new piece of art. Go ahead give it a try, its fun! Then post your artwork to the group pool. To view some of the best images in the group you can view our stream on flickr river. If your up for a challenge we host remix competitions every month on our discussion forum.

While following the engineering design process, our newly-minted engineers explore the different facets involved in designing, landing, and driving a vehicle on Mars. They are involved in a team
process while designing these spacecraft. Design, implementation, and testing is practiced.

NASA Secrets. Obvious fakery! Wake up to Apollo!
FlatEarth meme collected by A.J. Wilson of iPressThis at FlatEarth.Online, made by others.
Allà tuvimos ocasión de ver el auténtico centro de operaciones desde el que se controlan tanto los lanzamientos de los transbordadores como su regreso a la Tierra. Desgraciadamente, la actividad estaba bajo mÃnimos al no haber ninguna nave en órbita y estar previsto para diciembre el próximo despegue. Lo que se podÃa observar en los monitores eran las actividades rutinarias de control de la situación en la Estación Espacial Internacional.

Expedition 51 Flight Engineer Jack Fischer of NASA is seen inside the International Space Station in his spacesuit during a fit check, in preparation for a spacewalk on Friday, May 12, 2017. This will be the 200th spacewalk at the station for assembly and maintenance, the ninth spacewalk for NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson and the first for Fischer. via NASA ift.tt/2qwu8ZK

On May 9, innermost planet Mercury crossed IN FRONT of the Sun. Though pictures project the event in only two dimensions, a remarkable three dimensional perspective on the transit is possible by free viewing this stereo pair. The images were made 23 minutes apart and rotated so that Mercury's position shifts horizontally between the two. As a result, Mercury's orbital motion produced an exaggerated parallax simulating binocular vision. Between the two exposures, the appropriately named planet's speedy 47.4 kilometer per second orbital velocity actually carried it over 65,000 kilometers. Taken first, the left image is intended for the right eye, so a cross-eyed view is needed to see Mercury's tiny silhouette suspended in the foreground. Try it. Merging the text below the images helps. via NASA ift.tt/20eTfaS

I'd love to see what the USAF had on this tower. My educated guess is they had at least one microwave antenna for a point to point link (via several relay stations) with the AF Flight Test Center at Edwards AFB, and possibly a more secretive location.
Could have also had telemetry receiving antennas, electro-optical tracking camera, IR sensor to monitor thermal signatures of test vehicles, etc.

The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant, all that remains of a tremendous stellar explosion. Observers in China and Japan recorded the supernova nearly 1,000 years ago, in 1054.

Divers retrieve the test vehicle for NASA's Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator off the coast of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Missile Range Facility in Kauai, Hawaii. On June 28, 2014, the vehicle was lifted to near-space with the help of a balloon and rocket in order to test new Mars landing technologies. The divers, from the U.S. Navy's Explosive Ordnance Disposal team, retrieved the vehicle hours after the successful test. NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate funds the LDSD mission, a cooperative effort led by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. NASA's Technology Demonstration Mission program manages LDSD at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Wallops Island, Virginia, coordinated support with the Pacific Missile Range Facility, provided the core electrical systems for the test vehicle, and coordinated the balloon and recovery services for the LDSD test.
