This is a shot of the engine bell of a space shuttle main engine (SSME), like the ones found on the space shuttle in this photo, but extracted from a shuttle itself. This helps show how large the engine bells are. The tubing around the engine bell helps cool it when it's in use, and there's over two miles of this tubing (usually copper pipe)!
To see a large view of the space shuttle's tail, see here.
This photo of the Space Shuttle Endeavour exhibit was taken at the California Science Center, the "retirement home" (if you will) of this particular shuttle. If you live in the area, go check it out; entrance is only $2!

This floating ring is the size of a galaxy. In fact, it is a galaxy -- or at least part of one: the photogenic Sombrero Galaxy, one of the largest galaxies in the nearby Virgo Cluster of Galaxies. The dark band of dust that obscures the mid-section of the Sombrero Galaxy in optical light actually glows brightly in infrared light. The above image, digitally sharpened, shows the infrared glow, recently recorded by the orbiting Spitzer Space Telescope, superposed in false-color on an existing image taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope in optical light. The Sombrero Galaxy, also known as M104, spans about 50,000 light years across and lies 28 million light years away. M104 can be seen with a small telescope in the direction of the constellation Virgo. via NASA ift.tt/1WFOUMY
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

Christmas break
All university students have finished their tests. A big party was held at the club Nasa. Páll Óskar was the DJ and also sang some songs himself. The picture is of my hand witch got a stamp from the club.

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.
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 go.nasa.gov/2ushXyC
NASA astronaut Randy Bresnik photographed Super Typhoon Noru on August 1, 2017, as the International Space Station passed overhead. He shared images of the massive storm on social media, writing, "Super Typhoon #Noru, amazing the size of this weather phenomenon, you can almost sense its power from 250 miles above." via NASA August 02, 2017

here we have Nasa again this time one from our first photoshoot together. This was a wonderful photoshoot done outside of our house in front of a car port. Every picture I took I could flip and make another picture, just as nice as the original. it didn't matter whether or not I took it in digital, or on the soon to be extinct 35 mm film. When she sets her mind to pictures so goes all out. Love me some Nasa!

Lapping at rocks along the shore of the Island of Nangan, Taiwan, planet Earth, waves are infused with a subtle blue light in this sea and night skyscape. Composed of a series of long exposures made on April 16 the image captures the faint glow from Noctiluca scintillans. Also known as sea sparkles or blue tears, the marine plankton's bioluminescence is stimulated by wave motion. City lights along the coast of mainland China shine beneath low clouds in the west but stars and the faint Milky Way still fill the night above. Over the horizon the galaxy's central bulge and dark rifts seem to echo the rocks and luminous waves. via NASA ift.tt/1ExrgNs

Early November 2015 brought cloudy skies and intriguing patterns over the Prince Edward Islands in the South Indian Ocean. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Terra satellite captured this scene on November 5. via NASA ift.tt/1MV1RLD
Blown by the wind from a massive star, this interstellar apparition has a surprisingly familiar shape. Cataloged as NGC 7635, it is also known simply as The Bubble Nebula. Although it looks delicate, the 7 light-year diameter bubble offers evidence of violent processes at work. Above and left of the Bubble's center is a hot, O-type star, several hundred thousand times more luminous and around 45 times more massive than the Sun. A fierce stellar wind and intense radiation from that star has blasted out the structure of glowing gas against denser material in a surrounding molecular cloud. The intriguing Bubble Nebula and associated cloud complex lie a mere 7,100 light-years away toward the boastful constellation Cassiopeia. This sharp, tantalizing view of the cosmic bubble is a composite of Hubble Space Telescope image data from 2016, released to celebrate the 26th anniversary of Hubble's launch. via NASA ift.tt/1WK50qB
NASA engineers load a structural test version of the Orion Stage Adapter for NASA's Space Launch System onto NASA’s Super Guppy Aircraft at the Redstone Arsenal Airfield in Huntsville, Alabama, for delivery to Lockheed Martin in Denver. The OSA connects NASA's Orion spacecraft to the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion System, which will give the spacecraft its big, in-space boost to fly around the moon in its first integrated flight with SLS. Built at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, the OSA was used in integrated structural testing for the top of the SLS rocket and will be used in similar testing with Orion at Lockheed. The Guppy has a cargo compartment that is 25 feet tall, 25 feet wide and 111 feet long and can carry up to 24 tons. The aircraft has a unique hinged nose that can open 110 degrees, allowing large pieces of cargo to be loaded and unloaded from the front.

Astronaut gives talk to students at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's visitor center.
More than 800 students from Baltimore City and County Public Schools, Prince George’s County Public Schools and Washington D. C. Public and Charter Schools were invited to the Goddard Space Flight Center to kick off a 3-year collaboration celebration known as Goddard Middle School Week, Oct. 12-15.
Hosted by the Goddard Education office, NASA scientists, engineers, educators and astronauts engaged area students about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects. Students had the opportunity to experience Earth science, planetary exploration, astrophysics, heliophysics and more through hands-on activities.
This initiative was designed to build student and educator interest, knowledge and performance in STEM disciplines. The target audience is aligned with the agency’s Summer of Innovation project – middle school students with a special emphasis on underserved, underrepresented, and underperforming schools.

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.
