SpaceEngine - A free space simulation program that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies. Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies, trillions of stars, countless planets - all available for exploration. You can land any planet, moon or asteroid and watch alien landscapes and celestial phenomena. You can even pilot starships and atmospheric shuttles.
Image taken by ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano during the first Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer maintenance spacewalk on 15 November 2019 from the International Space Station.
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a sub-atomic particle detector that looks for dark matter, antimatter and measures cosmic rays - high energy particles that travel through space at close to the speed of light.
The AMS took 16 countries nearly 20 years to develop. It was assembled at CERN, tested at ESA’s ESTEC facility in The Netherlands and installed on the Space Station in 2011. Since then it has collected over 145 billion cosmic ray events across a range of energy levels and has already provided the first insights into potential antimatter and dark matter.
The maintenance of the AMS’ cooling system will ensure it can continue to provide more data and groundbreaking science.

Teams monitor the progress of a Countdown Demonstration Test with Artemis II crewmembers NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, commander; Victor Glover, pilot; Christina Koch, mission specialist; and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, mission specialist onboard their Orion spacecraft from Firing Room 2 of the Rocco A. Petrone Launch Control Center, Saturday, Dec. 20, 2025, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. For this operation, the Artemis II crew and launch teams are simulating the launch day timeline including suit-up, walkout, and spacecraft ingress and egress. Through the Artemis campaign, NASA will send astronauts to explore the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build the foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars, for the benefit of all.

Cassini looked toward the night side of Saturn to spy the darkened orb of
Mimas barely visible here near the center of the image hugging the
planet's shadow. To the left of Mimas are several bright features in the
faint D ring.
The innermost of Saturn's medium-sized icy moons, Mimas, is 397 kilometers
(247 miles) across.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft
narrow-angle camera on June 7, 2006 at a distance of approximately 3.9
million kilometers (2.4 million miles) from Mimas and 4 million kilometers
(2.5 million miles) from Saturn. The Sun-Mimas-spacecraft, or phase, angle
is 161 degrees. Image scale is 24 kilometers (15 miles) per pixel on
Saturn.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European
Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages
the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The
Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and
assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space
Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

Just an exercise I did for class with PS, but I like it.
It's not that well done -- just want to share :)
Being in the shadow of the Space Needle for BrickCon, I was inspired to build this small mosaic. It was tricky to create because I only had the limited number of bricks that I brought with me.

Discovery was the third Space Shuttle orbiter vehicle to fly in space. It entered service in 1984 and retired from spaceflight as the oldest and most accomplished orbiter, the champion of the shuttle fleet. Discovery flew on 39 Earth-orbital missions, spent a total of 365 days in space, and traveled almost 240 million kilometers (150 million miles)--more than the other orbiters. It shuttled 184 men and women into space and back, many of whom flew more than once, for a record-setting total crew count of 251.
Because Discovery flew every kind of mission the Space Shuttle was meant to fly, it embodies well the 30-year history of U.S. human spaceflight from 1981 to 2011. Named for renowned sailing ships of exploration, Discovery is preserved as intact as possible as it last flew in 2011 on the 133rd Space Shuttle mission.
NASA transferred Discovery to the Smithsonian in April 2012 after a delivery flight over the nation's capital.

and here is the view from my backdoor :) In couple of days I will give you some mediterreanean view :))
