The 18-cent Space Achievement commemorative stamps in block of eight were issued on May 21, 1981, at Kennedy Space Center, Florida. The stamps focused attention on the first flight of the space shuttle and the culmination of twenty years of manned space flight. The stamp design by Robert T. McCall includes renderings of the historical moon walk, Columbia space shuttle in flight, Skylab, Pioneer 11, and telescope. The block of eight stamps was issued in a pane of forty-eight and printed on the photogravure press.

Once I had a baby Exo Suit I needed a baby turtle to go with it. Added a Teenage Stellar Robot Turtle for good measure! The daddy turtle is Peter Reid's from set 21109.

One of a photo collection taken at the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson, Ariznoa. They have an amazing collection, and a friendly and knowledgeable staff. We had a great day there with the whole family. The kids love it… and so do the grown-ups. I had not been since I was a child… anyway. I hope you enjoy the image.

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image obtained December 19, 2011 shows the nearby spiral galaxy M74 . Bright knots of glowing gas light up the spiral arms, indicating a rich environment of star formation. Messier 74, also called NGC 628, is an example of a grand-design spiral galaxy that is viewed by Earth observers nearly face-on. Its perfectly symmetrical spiral arms emanate from the central nucleus and are dotted with clusters of young blue stars and glowing pink regions of ionized hydrogen (hydrogen atoms that have lost their electrons). These regions of star formation show an excess of light at ultraviolet wavelengths. Tracing along the spiral arms are winding dust lanes that also begin very near the galaxy's nucleus and follow along the length of the spiral arms. M74 is located roughly 32 million light-years away in the direction of the constellation Pisces, the Fish. It is the dominant member of a small group of about half a dozen galaxies, the M74 galaxy group. In its entirety, it is estimated that M74 is home to about 100 billion stars, making it slightly smaller than our Milky Way.

By T.A. Heppenheimer, copyright 1977. A book detailing how to proceed with the colonization and exploration of space. Cover art by John Berkey.
The unlit side of the rings glows with scattered sunlight as two moons
circle giant Saturn. The light reaching Cassini in this view has traveled
many paths before being captured.
At left, Mimas (397 kilometers, or 247 miles across) presents its dark
side. Enceladus (505 kilometers, or 314 miles across), on the far side of
the rings, is lit by "Saturnshine," or reflected sunlight coming from the
planet. Saturn, in turn, is faintly lit in the south by light reflecting
off the rings.
Saturn's shadow darkens the rings, tapering off toward the left side of
this view.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft
narrow-angle camera on June 11, 2006 at a distance of approximately 3.9
million kilometers (2.5 million miles) from Mimas, 4.3 kilometers (2.7 million
miles) from Enceladus and 4.1 million kilometers (2.6 million miles) from Saturn.
Image scale is 25 kilometers (16 million 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.

These guys were hanging out by Mission Space. I have one outtake of Goofy sneaking a taste of Aidan's lollipop.
Saturn's icy moon Enceladus hovers above Saturn's exquisite rings in this
color view from Cassini. The rings, made of nearly pure water ice, have
also become somewhat contaminated by meteoritic dust during their history,
which may span several hundred million years. Enceladus shares the rings'
nearly pure water ice composition, but appears to have eluded dust
contamination through resurfacing processes that scientists are still
trying to understand. Enceladus is 505 kilometers (314 miles) across.
Dust affects the rings' color, while differences in brightness are
attributable to varying particle sizes and concentrations.
The images for this natural color view were taken with the Cassini
spacecraft narrow-angle camera on April 5, 2005, at a distance of
approximately 2.2 million kilometers (1.4 million miles) from Saturn
through red, green and blue spectral filters. The image scale is 13
kilometers (8 miles) per pixel.

Space vehicle based on the M:Tron theme from 1990-1991. Some elements and parts came from the original 6896 Celestial Forager set.
This was made for a contest at Comunidade 0937 : www.comunidade0937.com
One of the challenges in that contest was to build a MOC based on a discontinued theme.

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.
