A strange shadow drifts across the moon, or perhaps some malevolent force has taken hold of it?
Just kidding!
This was the almost-full moon shot through branches from my back deck...this was the only photo I got where I was lucky enough to have the moon, rather than the branches, in focus!
Changed the title, as something about the silhouette really makes me think of a Space Invader (you know, from the classic old school video game!).

SEYMOUR+ space seen by Alison Koehler & Yann Lagoutte
Big thanks to artist Alison Koehler and photographer Yann Lagoutte who teamed up to reveal the SEYMOUR+ space through a different prism. Alison’s specially created stained glass artwork took a magical trip around the space one evening. Historically, stained glass has been known to gently provoke visions and sometimes even altered states of consciousness; a fitting additional lens through which to view the space and oneself.

From just outside the faint edge of Saturn's F ring, the moon Pandora
keeps watch over her fine-grained flock. The outer flanks of the F ring
region are populated by ice particles approaching the size of the
particles comprising smoke. As a shepherd moon, Pandora helps her cohort
Prometheus confine and shape the main F ring. Pandora is 84 kilometers
(52 miles) across.
Prometheus is 102 kilometers (63 miles) wide and orbits interior to the F
ring.
The small knot seen attached to the core is one of several that Cassini
scientists are eyeing as they attempt to distinguish embedded moons from
transient clumps of material (see PIA07716).
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on
Aug. 2, 2005, using a filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light
centered at 930 nanometers at a distance of approximately 610,000
kilometers (379,000 miles) from Pandora and at a Sun-Pandora-spacecraft,
or phase, angle of 146 degrees. Image scale is 4 kilometers (2 miles) per
pixel.
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 was designed, developed and assembled at JPL.

Etched on this wafer of polished silicon are dozens of space-ready integrated circuits ready to be separated into individual chips. These highly intricate items incorporate multiple layers to maximise their functionality, with surface structures smaller in size than many individual viruses.
In the future these circuits are going to be manufactured at still smaller scales: for European space missions to become more capable, the microprocessors that run them need to get more powerful, which means shrinking down the features etched upon them. This is the goal of ESA’s new Ultra Deep Submicron Initiative.
ESA microelectronics engineer Boris Glass is the initiative’s technical officer: “For space missions as much as everything else, it’s the underlying technology that defines performance, which comes down to microelectronics. In everyday life we’re used to Moore’s Law, where microprocessors double in power every 18 to 24 months while also dropping in price. This is because more and more miniaturised transistors can be placed on the same area of semiconductor, down to a few nanometres, or millionths of a millimetre.
“This is talking about the general-purpose microprocessors found in smartphones, computers and other consumer electronics. Billions of chips are manufactured annually. But the space sector has specialised requirements, meaning we often cannot simply make use of those chips as they are, without reworking. And in commercial terms we’re a niche market, requiring tens of thousands of chips at most, rather than many millions.”
Europe’s current LEON5 space-optimised integrated circuit has nodes down to 65 nm scale. ESA’s Ultra Deep Submicron Initiative is targeting nearly an order of magnitude smaller, down to 7 nm.
Boris adds: “While people often think of space technology as always being the cutting edge, that isn’t really the case when it comes to microelectronics. We’re about seven years behind the current state-of-the-art. So this new initiative is essential if we want to take advantage of the latest performance gains, for more powerful and agile future missions and a more competitive space sector – based on sustainable access to new chips with a rapid time to market with no access restrictions.”
The most important difference between the terrestrial and space environments is space radiation. Anything placed in orbit gets randomly bombarded by charged particles or cosmic rays that can randomly flip memory bits, known as Single Effect Events, or cause more lasting damage, such as runaway short circuits known as ‘latch ups’.
Countermeasures to these effects are possible, such as adding in electrical protection to confine some currents or adding redundancy to the chip so that a single bit flip will not irreparably degrade onboard memory. In some cases, multiple memories noting discrepancies get to vote to determine which is the correct value. These countermeasures have to be built into the microprocessors themselves, made available part of the library of building blocks available to integrated circuit designers.
The Ultra Deep Submicron Initiative is being led for ESA by the Sweden-based Frontgrade Gaisler company, which has been active in the field of space-grade microprocessor technology for nearly 25 years.
Frontgrade Gaisler’s General Manager Sandi Habinc comments: “Our consortium’s initial focus is to establish radiation-hardened libraries and intellectual property (IP) cores that will serve as the foundation for highly reliable and efficient integrated circuits. This is a bottom-up approach, starting with the fundamental building blocks needed for developing advanced products. At the same time, we are setting the system requirements such as computational capabilities and interfacing requirements to define the initial products that will come out of the initiative, such as high performance microprocessor.
“For the advanced 7 nm technology we are currently working with a foundry outside Europe, but over time it is expected the same or even more advanced nodes will also be available in Europe as we move forward. It is therefore important that our developments remain generic enough and portable to other manufacturers and foundries, which is a key challenge. Europe is already well-positioned when it comes to advanced packaging, and parallel activities will address the packaging challenges, as well as targeting European electronic design tools.
“It will be a challenge to remove all dependencies when it comes to the design and manufacture of state-of-the-art integrated circuits, so we should therefore focus on the most critical areas. This investment will ensure that Europe remains at the forefront of innovation and autonomy, securing the technology necessary for next-generation space exploration and satellite constellations, including advanced AI and Edge computing.”
This initiative is part of a larger ESA-backed ‘EEE (Electrical, electronic, and electromechanical) Space Components Sovereignty for Europe’ programme, introduced as part of the EU’s European Chips Act, aimed at strengthening the entire European supply chain for space-ready integrated circuits, ranging from design houses to foundries to packagers and test service providers.

THE 376TH BOMBARDMENT GROUP IN WORLD WAR II
Following the 7 December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered the Army Air Forces to mount retaliatory raids on the Japanese home islands. A task force, commanded by Colonel Harry E. Halverson and composed of 231 officers and enlisted men and 23 B-24D Liberator bombers, was assembled at Fort Myers, Florida. The unit was given the code name "HALPRO" for Halverson Project. HALPRO, the parent unit of the 376th Bombardment Group, departed the United States on 20 May 1942 to begin attacks on Japanese targets from a base located in China. When HALPRO arrived in Egypt, the unit learned that its proposed Chinese base had been captured by Japanese forces. To make matters worse, the German Afrika Korps under General Erwin Rommel was poised to overwhelm Allied forces in North Africa and capture Middle East oil fields.
HALPRO was quickly diverted from its original mission to a new one: interdictory raids from airfields in Egypt against shipping and North African ports supporting Axis operations. On 20 July 1942 the Halverson Project was dissolved and the organization was renamed the First Provisional Bombardment Group. In a subsequent organizational change, all First Provisional personnel and B-24s were transferred to the newly activated 376th Heavy Bombardment Group. The order became effective on 31 October 1942 and as a gesture of unit identity, members of the 376th adopted the nickname "Liberandos." Rapid build-up of personnel and aircraft in early 1943 resulted in the formation of a full-strength Group composed of the 512th, 513th, 514th, and 515th Squadrons.
Attacks by the fledgling 376th, the first heavy bombardment group to operate in the Middle East Theater, were focused on Axis supply lines between Italy and North Africa, airfields, and port facilities. Later, longer-range raids were made against oil refineries, marshalling yards, and air fields in Italy, Austria, Romania, and Greece. The Liberandos were also chosen to lead four other B-24 bombardment groups on the daring 1 April 1943 low-level raid against Romania's Ploesti Oil Fields. After the liberation of North Africa late in 1943, the Group moved to San Pancrazio, Italy where it participated in an accelerated campaign against Axis targets in southern Europe and the Balkans. Group sorties extended as far north as Vienna, Austria and Regensburg, Germany.
During four years of operations, the 376th and its parent units became integral elements of the 9th, 12th, and 15th Air Forces. The Group flew 451 missions, was awarded three Distinguished Unit Citations, and earned 15 campaign awards. The Liberandos destroyed 220 enemy aircraft in aerial combat and suffered casualties totaling 1479 officers and enlisted personnel and 169 aircraft.

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.
Inside Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) High Bay 4, Space Shuttle Atlantis sits in storage after being moved from Orbiter Processing Facility #1 on June 29, 2012. Atlantis will stay inside the VAB until mid-August when Endeavour leave OPF-2 so crews can finish preperations for Atlantis display.
