On our recent trip one of our stops was the Johnson Space Center. In the center of the exhibit area there were a number of activities around Legos one of them being a "Defend the Castle" cannon video game. I found the juxtaposition of that and the Lunar Lander rather amusing...
Hope you have a great Tuesday!

A scan across Saturn's incredible halo of ice rings yields a study in
precision and order.
This natural color mosaic was acquired by the Cassini spacecraft as it
soared 39 degrees above the unilluminated side of the rings.
Major named gaps are labeled at the top. The main rings themselves, along
with the F ring, are labeled at the bottom, along with their inner and
outer boundaries.
This mosaic was constructed from narrow-angle camera images taken
immediately after the wide-angle camera mosaic PIA08388. Radial
features can be seen in the rings that are about ten times smaller than in
the wide-angle view. This scan is rotated 180 degrees compared to PIA08388
in order to present the rings with distance from Saturn increasing left to
right.
The view combines 45 images -- 15 separate sets of red, green and blue
images -- taken over the course of about 2.5 hours, as Cassini scanned
across the rings.
The images in this view were obtained on May 9, 2007, at a distance of
approximately 1.1 million kilometers (700,000 miles) from Saturn. Image
scale in the radial (horizontal) direction is about 6 kilometers (4 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 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.

Monument to the Conquerors of Space with statue of Soviet rocket pioneer Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (1857–1935)
Having a pic that was just not quite right..and listening to Zeb's space music on spotify... and seeing beautiful recent images by Uiethma led to this..... I blame them in the most thankful way.
This typewriter still sits in one the English Department offices of the university I work at. There is even a message on the page that rests in it, but I will share that another day.

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.
La capsula Soyuz atterra a Milano (Soyuz capsule lands in Milan), a temporary exhibit with the Soyuz TM-14 capsule on display. This exhibit in downton Milan, Italy, was organized by the ASI Italian space agency (17-30 Nov 2008).

Nearly invisible upon first glance, Saturn's moon Enceladus is a small bright dot beyond the planet's rings in this Cassini spacecraft image.Enceladus (504 kilometers, or 313 miles across) is visible above the rings, just to the left of the planet. This view looks toward the northern, sunlit side of the rings from just above the ringplane.The image was taken in visible red light with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Nov. 28, 2009. The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 2.4 million kilometers (1.5 million miles) from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 102 degrees. Image scale is 142 kilometers (88 miles) per pixel.The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency.

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.
"Shared Space" is a tool that allows scenographers to create virtual sound spheres in any space in a museum. This new experience offers the public the possibility to merge more deeply with works of art. While wearing headphones, the visitor is at the center of every sound. Depending on their location in the museum, the visitor can focus on a specific sound, story, or sound texture. In this way, senses other than sight, may be aroused and stimulated.
I was organizing photos from our Florida trip over a year ago and found some groups of 3 exposures that I had shot at the Kennedy space center Apollo building. I just had to do an all out grunge HDR on this one.
This image shows several dark storms confined to a region below 30
degrees south latitude in Saturn's atmosphere. This turbulent region has
produced quite a few storms during Cassini's approach to Saturn,
including some that have merged. A number of other interesting
smaller-scale atmospheric features are also becoming visible.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow angle camera on
May 11, 2004, from a distance of 26.4 million kilometers (16.4 million
miles) from Saturn through a filter centered at 750 nanometers. The image
scale is 157 kilometers (98 miles) per pixel. Contrast in the image was
enhanced to aid visibility.
