I am incredibly honored that my image was chosen as NASA APOD:
OYEZ, OYEZ, LA NASA VOUS L'ANNONCE…
Suspense et excitation !
L'agence américaine préparait le spectacle depuis des jours et même des semaines en diffusant une bande-annonce digne d'un show hollywoodien pour préparer les spectateurs à une « simple » annonce de l'équipage d'Artemis II.
Bien entendu, il s'agit d'un SYMBOLE !
Les quatre astronautes seront les premiers depuis Apollo 17 à partir aussi loin autour de notre satellite naturel, et ils représentent pour la NASA un espoir renouvelé autant que l'un des grands points d'orgue d'un programme qui a mis plus d'une décennie à voir le jour.
Cette « nouvelle conquête lunaire » doit d'abord marquer les esprits et bénéficier de l'appui politique et du grand public … Eh oui !!!
D'où ce côté spectacle assumé !
L'ensemble des astronautes présents à Houston se trouvait sur scène, y compris ceux des pays partenaires en formation.
Il y avait aussi les dirigeants de la NASA et François-Philippe Champagne, le pétillant ministre canadien en charge du spatial dans le gouvernement en place.
En effet, cet équipage est bien composé de trois membres de la NASA et d'un Canadien. On retrouve donc Reid Wiseman (commandant), Victor Glover (pilote), Christina Koch (spécialiste de mission) et le Canadien Jeremy Hansen (spécialiste de mission) 😉
Bonne journée les artistes :D

HEAR, HEAR, NASA ANNOUNCES IT TO YOU...
Suspense and excitement!
The American agency had been preparing the show for days and even weeks by releasing a trailer worthy of a Hollywood show to prepare viewers for a "simple" announcement from the crew of Artemis II.
Of course, it is a symbol!
The four astronauts will be the first since Apollo 17 to travel this far around our natural satellite, and they represent renewed hope for NASA as much as one of the great culmination points of a program that has taken more than a decade to come.
This “new lunar conquest” must first mark the spirits and benefit from the political support and the general public… Yes!!!
Hence this assumed side of the show!
All the astronauts present in Houston were on stage, including those of the partner countries in training.
There were also the leaders of NASA and François-Philippe Champagne, the sparkling Canadian minister in charge of space in the government in place.
Indeed, this crew is indeed made up of three NASA members and a Canadian. So we find Reid Wiseman (commander), Victor Glover (pilot), Christina Koch (mission specialist) and Canadian Jeremy Hansen (mission specialist) 😉
Good day artists :D
for some reason or another NASA is prepared to spend billions hoping to find some signs of life far away, but no need to go far to find some life where you don't expect it.....NASA would be ecstatic with such a MARS shot....
Earth’s atmosphere has five layers between the surface of the planet and space. In this image of the Shuttle Endeavor approaching ISS in 2010 we can see the Troposphere (Orange), the Statosphere (White), and the Mesosphere (Blue) from the light of the sun. The next two layers out are the Thermosphere and Exosphere. The Thermosphere is the atmospheric layer in which ISS orbits and the Exosphere is the beginning of true deep space. #funfactfriday #planetsarelikeonions #theyhavelayers

Phone died before I got a chance to take pictures of what I think are their best trucks in the fleet, the older of the front loaders and every one of their rear loaders.
Norfolk Southern train #052 eases through Dallas, GA with 12 rocket booster sections bound for NASA at Cape Canaveral for use on the Artemis Program. The longest days of the year may be hot but they sure are great for times like these.
Here's a short clip of our star captured yesterday, December 6, 2025 ☀️
Atmospheric conditions were particularly unfavorable: strong turbulence (degraded seeing) due to wind, numerous cloud passages, and unstable brightness made stacking and processing virtually impossible. In these situations, high-resolution imaging becomes very difficult because the turbulence constantly distorts the solar surface. Therefore, I opted for a raw video, which at least preserves a record of the solar activity at the time, even if the optical quality is significantly affected...

Many aurora appear green, but sometimes — as in this image from the International Space Station — other colors such as red can appear. The colors depend on which atoms are causing the splash of light seen in the aurora. In most cases, the light comes when a charged particle sweeps in from the solar wind and collides with an oxygen atom in Earth’s atmosphere. This produces a green photon, so most aurora appear green. However, lower-energy oxygen collisions as well as collisions with nitrogen atoms can produce red photons -- so sometimes aurora also show a red band as seen here.

'Tis the season for holiday decorating and tree-trimming. Not to be left out, astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have photographed a festive-looking nearby planetary nebula called NGC 5189. The intricate structure of this bright gaseous nebula resembles a glass-blown holiday ornament with a glowing ribbon entwined.
Planetary nebulae represent the final brief stage in the life of a medium-sized star like our sun. While consuming the last of the fuel in its core, the dying star expels a large portion of its outer envelope. This material then becomes heated by the radiation from the stellar remnant and radiates, producing glowing clouds of gas that can show complex structures, as the ejection of mass from the star is uneven in both time and direction.

Went over to the coast to watch the shuttle go up. The photos did not come out very well, but the launch was pretty cool being there. Next time We are getting alot closer!!

Arches of magnetic field lines towered over the sun’s edge as a pair of active regions began to rotate into view in this video captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory on April 5-6, 2016. Active regions are areas of very concentrated magnetic field. Charged particles spiraling along these magnetic fields emit extreme ultraviolet light, which is typically not visible to our eyes, but colorized here in gold. The light given off from the particles helps trace out the magnetic field lines, which are otherwise invisible.
Scientists use images such as this to observe how magnetic fields move around the sun and learn more about what causes active regions.

Manufacturer: McDonnell Douglas (Now Boeing)
Operator: NASA Flight Test Research Center
Type: F-15D two seater Eagle (N836NA)
Event/Location: 2022 Aerospace Airshow/ Edwards AF base
Comment: Aircraft normally used for photo or video support as well as routine flight training required for all NASA pilots.
In March 2014, a team of scientists returned to the Arctic with NASA’s P-3 aircraft to continue Operation IceBridge, a multi-year aerial survey of polar ice. IceBridge is designed to maintain the continuity of measurements between NASA’s Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESat), which stopped functioning in 2009, and its successor, ICESat-2, which is scheduled for launch in 2017.
The first science flight of this year’s campaign occurred on March 12, with the P-3 taking off from Thule Air Base in Greenland to survey sea ice over the Fram Strait. The belly of the plane was packed with radars, altimeters, gravimeters, and an array of sensors designed to yield a three-dimensional view of the ice. Scientists on the plane also had less exotic sensors with them: cameras. Michael Studinger, the IceBridge project scientist, captured this photograph of the Moon and the glow of morning sunlight on snow-covered peaks in northeastern Greenland.

Comment: The SOFIA underwent extensive modifications by L-3 Integrated Systems in Waco, Texas, from 1998 to 2007. L-3 Integrated Systems was responsible for the aircraft's modifications including design engineering, airframe structual modifications, telescope design integration, and flight test activities under the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy. It was an 80/20 joint project of NASA and the German Aerospace Center to construct and maintain an airborne observatory. The project was terminated in October 2022.

More info:
Hubble’s payload computer, which controls and coordinates the observatory’s onboard science instruments, halted suddenly on June 13. When the main computer failed to receive a signal from the payload computer, it automatically placed Hubble’s science instruments into safe mode. That meant the telescope would no longer be doing science while mission specialists analyzed the situation.
In response to the anomaly, NASA began a switch to backup spacecraft hardware on Hubble in response to an ongoing problem with its payload computer. This was a multi-day event.
Science observations restarted the afternoon of Saturday, July 17.
