Have you ever wondered what a Mars landing would look like from the perspective 10 km above the surface? This image was captured in the middle of the descent phase (of the Perseverance rover) into the atmosphere. The disk in the centre of the image is the heat shield that protected the probe from the intense heat.

ispace Japan’s Hakuto-R spacecraft captured this view of our Moon and Earth from lunar orbit. The dark shadow on Earth is of the Moon from the solar eclipse of April 20, 2023.

A reminder that every day is Earth Day. Share this to remind us all.

Starship finally left the pad at Boca Chica Texas! Starship reached max Q. The rocket flew for nearly 4 minutes and successfully separated from the Super Heavy booster, a key in-flight milestone, before suffering what the company called a “rapid unscheduled disassembly.” Well done to the whole @spacex team!

SpaceX is targeting as soon as Monday, April 17 at 8:00 a.m. CT for the first flight test of a fully integrated Starship and Super Heavy rocket from Starbase in Texas. This has been years in the making! Will you be watching the live stream?

CUAVA-1 CUBE SAT DELIVERED TO ISS

Posted on 31/08/202131/08/2021 by Educating Space is run by James O'Connor, BSc (Geophysics, GIS), BTeach, MSc (Research) Candidate

The CUAVA-1 is an Australian designed and built satellite recently launched to the International Space Station via SpaceX CRS-23.

The 12 month mission in near-Earth orbit (NEO) will be investigating Earth’s plasma environment.

Here are some photos, artist impressions (and links) from the official CUAVA-1 website plus other media links.

Largest known galaxy in the universe brought into sharp relief in stunning new composite image. This composite image of the giant barred spiral galaxy NGC 6872 combines visible light images from the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope with far-ultraviolet data from NASA’s Galaxy Evolution Explorer and infrared data acquired by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope.

The NASA Perseverance rover on Mars took a selfie with one of 10 tubes the rover deposited at the sample depot it created in an area within Jezero Crater nicknamed Three Forks. The images used to create this mosaic were captured using the rover's robotic arm on Jan. 20, 2023.

NASA’s Cassini spacecraft imaged Saturn's moon Enceladus, whose frozen surface ice hides a deep ocean. The cracks covering the surface are believed to be from relatively warm sections in the crust, where ice water particles and gasses jet out continuously from the oceans below, contributing to Saturn's E ring. Some of these fissures could be hydrothermal vents that stretch down to its ocean.⁣

Q: Where did all the water go?

The successful launch of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket carrying the 'Crew 5 Mission' on its way to the International Space Station. According to SpaceX's website "On Wednesday, October 5 at 12:00 p.m. ET, 16:00 UTC, Falcon 9 launched Dragon's fifth operational human spaceflight mission (Crew-5) to the International Space Station from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Following stage separation, Falcon 9's first stage landed on the Just Read the Instructions droneship."

The heat wave in China is another reminder that enhanced climate change is definitely happening. By enhanced we're referring to the indisputable fact that humans are adding greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide and Methane (such as the Nordstream2 gas disaster) to our atmosphere as well as clearing forests and adding plastics to the oceans. With a rapidly growing population making this all worse, we are all responsible for what happens next.

Getting ready to celebrate World Space Week 2022.
