9 years in flight, the New Horizons probe will reveal a lot more information about the dwarf planet today on July 14th 2015. I built this about a month ago for my local library for preparation of the Pluto flyby which has just recently happened. Tested my SNOT knowledge and was a thoroughly enjoyable design build.

Bravo to the UK for a magnificent opening of the Olympics! It was truly spectacular! The final lighting of the torch was absolutely thrilling. I'm so excited for you all.
On June 30, 2001, the Microwave Anisotropy Probe (MAP) spacecraft launched on a Boeing Delta II rocket from Cape Canaveral. The probe measured small fluctuations in the temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and created the most accurate full-sky map of the CMB. In 2003 it was renamed the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) in honor of cosmologist David Todd Wilkinson, a member of the mission science team. Carrying on the Nobel Prize winning work of the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE), WMAP data has played a critical role in establishing the current standard model of cosmology. The WMAP mission team won the 2012 Gruber Cosmology Prize and the 2018 Breakthrough Prize. Designed for a 27 month mission, WMAP was decommissioned in October 2010 after nine years of operation.

After the assault on Hoth the Imperial probe droids were known to steal blasters from the Snowtroopers and start firing around randomly. Repairing the malfunctioning probe droids was a risky job.
There is a theory that suggests a band of rebels reprogrammed the probes to do this, but this has not been confirmed to be true.
Hey guys!
We've just updated our currently available catalog of houses and skyboxes to include probes (for compatibility with PBR products).
Note: this is not a PBR update.
Updating to this version is optional and the updates will not be sent out automatically. You will have to redeliver your purchase.
This update introduces two separately packaged versions of your house/skybox. A version that's specifically tailored for PBR viewers and the trusty regular non-PBR viewer version.
Both can be found in the main box with a short ReadMe explaining the differences and quirks (please read the ReadMe notecards because probes are finicky to say the least).
Your house/skybox remains and looks the same.
Probes are important for PBR products to display correctly. If you've been buying a lot of PBR furniture/decor or clothing, you'll want to update your house/skybox and use the version with the probes. It'll make products with PBR materials reflect the interior correctly
Enjoy!
we've used telemetry to plot ascent profile, very shallow as rocket thought it was at 60km when it was only at 6km. Although this may look like a normal launch arc, reference photo used is way too close to pad to normally see the top of the arc
Santa got me a Black Series Probe droid this year! Here she is on the display base. Gotta fix that ugly cut on the arch.
Just a glimpse of this one. Last passed a MOT in 2009, although tested in 2012 but failed on rust. Presumably someone has some plans for this for it to still be around 4 and a half years later.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is wheeled into position in a clean room at Astrotech Space Operations in Titusville, Florida, for pre-launch testing and preparations. On April 3, 2018, the spacecraft was transported from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, to Joint Base Andrews by truck, then by a United States Air Force C-17 to Titusville.

The Artist Shed for this month's TWE12VE event.
The theme is Fetish. Did someone say tentacle fetish? Ah yes, I do love a bit of tentacle in the morning. Visit the event and grab either of the Tentacle Fetish décor planters for only L$75! They are perfect for your home, office or intergalactic sex barge.
The event starts at 12 noon SLT on February 12th and runs until the 28th.
