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. 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.For more information about the Cassini-Huygens mission visit saturn.jpl.nasa.gov.

This creation is a tribute to the almighty Hubble Space Telescope. This is definitely one of my favourite pieces, its big in size (140cm high!) and room presence. Its not a replica, its a tribute. It lights up at both ends and the top has a reflector shield that can be open or closed to deflect the light it emits. It has been assembled using a dental autoclave, light fittings, dessert bowls, piston, shower hose and much more...

I loved this movie when I was a kid. But looking at it now It may have been the worst movie of the 90's. Space jam is just so bad and unless your in it for the nostalgia stay away from this movie.

The Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center is NASA's manned spacecraft center. It is the home of the Apollo program in addition to being a training facility. On display are Apollo artifacts as well as the Saturn V rocket.

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.

J'avais un peu de retard dans la mise en ligne de certains de mes spécimens photographiés...
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.
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 Cassini-Huygens mission for NASA's Office of Space
Science, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras,
were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team is based
at the Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colo.

The effects of the moon Prometheus create intricate formations in Saturn's
thin F ring.
The gravity of potato-shaped Prometheus (86 kilometers, or 53 miles
across) periodically creates streamer-channels in the F ring. See PIA10461 and
PIA10593 to learn more. To watch a movie of this process, see PIA08397.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 9
degrees above the ringplane. The image was taken in visible light with the
Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 26, 2009. The view was
acquired at a distance of approximately 922,000 kilometers (573,000 miles)
from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 27 degrees.
Image scale is 5 kilometers (3 miles) per pixel.
