The name NEMO has been used throughout history by many famous authors to describe events and people who find themselves on the border between fantasy and reality. In Latin nemo means ‘no one’ and indicates a world between fantasy and reality. Visitors to NEMO science centre can become a scientist, technologist or technician for a day. Suddenly dreams are real.
Have I mentioned one or fifty times how cold it was during my trip to Chicago? I'm still trying to get over it apparently :-) I snapped this shot off the back porch of the McCormick Center - I was in Chicago for the RSNA (Radiological Sciences of North America ) conference which takes place at McCormick every year. It is a HUGE gathering of radiologists, technologists, and vendors from all over. I have heard that it is the biggest professional meeting in the world.
Anyway, as you know I made time for some photography while I was there. The original of this image was pretty dreary, so I did a little (ok, a lot!) of sliding and perked it up a bit!

The Apollo 11 Saturn V space vehicle climbs toward orbit after liftoff from Pad 39A at 9:32 a.m. EDT. In 2 1/2 minutes of powered flight, the S-IC booster lifts the vehicle to an altitude of about 39 miles some 55 miles downrange. This photo was taken with a 70mm telescopic camera mounted in an Air Force EC-135N plane. Onboard are astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr.

NASA image release June 9, 2010
STEREO (Ahead) kept a steady eye on a narrow portion of a solar prominence that rose up, wavered, and finally broke away from the Sun (May 28-30, 2010). It appeared that the trailing portion of the prominence still remained behind. With the spacecraft's viewing angle at edge on, the prominence looks somewhat like a long thin ribbon. Note that the part that erupted brightened (=heated in this case) as it went up. Prominences are cooler clouds of gas suspended above the solar surface by magnetic forces. They frequently become unstable and break away.

As a qualified Computer Technologist from Univ of Wales; I always believes in using the technology to create arts.
This is using the software of www.chaoscope.org.
Chaoscope is a 3D strange attractors rendering software. When you visiting the link above; there are sample of pictures rendered by the program. You can check the Gallery to see more examples of what Chaoscope can do.
It is an ongoing project created and maintained by Nicolas Desprez ; the current version is 0.3.1. It is a freeware running on the Windows™ platform.
I have used the Chaotic - flow Plasma to generate this image.
Then I did some work using Picasa & Corel Paintshop Pro Xi to get to the finish presentation of the above image.
Thank you for your visit & support.
I appreciate it.
The technologists who worked with my husband were lovely ladies who smiled & joked with him. They pinpointed the radiation to his vocal folds where cancer had taken hold. He is over ten years cancer free now.

Goddard scientist David Harding and Goddard technologist Tony Yu are developing a lidar system that could meet an ambitious requirement of the proposed LIST mission.
----------
In 2007, the National Research Council threw down a challenge: Design a space-based laser altimeter that could measure the height of Earth's surface everywhere to within a mere 10 centimeters — all at 5-meter resolution. To this day, some believe it can't be done.
Goddard scientist Dave Harding begs to differ.
He and his team have embraced the challenge and are developing a laser altimeter that could provide the data from a berth onboard the NRC-proposed Lidar Surface Topography, or LIST, mission. It would generate highly detailed maps of topography and vegetation that scientists could use to forecast and respond to natural hazards and study carbon storage in forests.

This zoom sequence begins with a very wide-field view of the southern sky including the spectacular Milky Way. We gradually close in on the stellar nursery NGC 2467 and as the zoom finishes the full majesty of this complex region of gas, dust and young stars is revealed in a very detailed picture from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.

If you are of a certain age, Lego's 'Classic Space' them magically landed in your childhood bringing the dream of space exploration to your toy box.
For this reason, the first generation of Classic Space - the blue and grey theme of 1978-1979 is considered the gold standard of Lego historic themes.
I am of that age.
So is Elon Musk - visionary, entrepreneur and space technologist.
I suspect that Musk is probably a fan of classic space - and I think I can see clear hints of the shapes present in the theme in his electric-powered Tesla Cybertruck, launched last week.
Sure, it was all splendid in shiny stainless steel - just like another of my childhood icons, the Back to the Future DeLorean.
In the back of mind though, during that somewhat bizarre launch event, my thoughts ran to "Maybe this is the Mars rover, and not the road car truck", then "I would probably look pretty cool dressed as Lego Classic Space."
So, here it is Elon's SpaceX Cybertruck.
NASA video acquired August 1 - 2, 2010.
Spectacular aurora lit the night sky from Europe to North America on August 3, 2010, thanks to a 12-hour long geomagnetic storm. The storm occurred as large clouds of charged particles from the Sun interacted with the magnetic field around Earth. As the particles zoomed along the magnetic field, they collided with and energized oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere. When the energized atoms relaxed, they emitted light, providing a brilliant show.

Caption: The image behind NASA technologist Jacob Englander shows the trajectory to Odysseus, a Trojan asteroid. Englander used his new orbit-determination tool to create the design (not associated with any mission or mission proposal) because a colleague suggested Odysseus was a difficult-to-reach target.

Traveling to remote locations sometimes involves navigating through stop-and-go traffic, traversing long stretches of highway and maneuvering sharp turns and steep hills. The same can be said for guiding spacecraft to far-flung destinations in space. It isn’t always a straight shot.
A NASA technologist has developed a fully automated tool that gives mission planners a preliminary set of detailed directions for efficiently steering a spacecraft to hard-to-reach interplanetary destinations, such as Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, and most comets and asteroids.
The tool, the Evolutionary Mission Trajectory Generator “offers a paradigm shift from what we normally do,” said Jacob Englander, a technologist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., who devised a concept for his computer-based tool while a doctorate student at the University of Illinois in Champaign. “EMTG will be used, and already is being used, to develop trajectories for proposed Goddard missions that cannot be designed using any other current tool.”

Paraná River, Argentina and Paraguay February 1984.
The effects of the rainy season in south-central South America are vividly documented in this near-vertical photograph of the confluence of the Paraná and Paraguay Rivers northeast of the Argentine town of Corrientes. The Paraná River flows westward; after merging with the Paraguay River, it begins to flow almost due south. Both rivers are sediment laden and appear to be out of their normal watercourses, thereby producing flooding conditions. The Paraguay River is characterized by the widely varying, meandering main channel; many oxbow lakes; and a tan sediment load. The Paraná River has a smaller floodplain, a deeper channel, and a reddish-brown sediment load. As the two rivers merge and begin to flow southwestward, their individual sediment patterns do not mix readily, a common occurrence in which rivers with different densities of suspended particles tend to retain their individual color characteristics for many miles downstream. The Paraná River, which flows approximately 2000 miles (3200 kilometers), is the second largest drainage system in South America; the Amazon River is the largest. An old river channel south of the Paraná River parallels the present river channel. This much older stream channel seems to flow toward the city of Corrientes (estimated population of 200 000), the commercial center for this rich agricultural region of northeast Argentina and southwest Paraguay.
