‼️Deep Sea Mining: Is it a blessing or a curse for our environment?

Check out my latest article exploring the controversial topic. https://t.co/qoezJdsGoD #DeepSeaMining #Environment

The Cassini spacecraft took the image when the Sun was directly behind Saturn on July 19, 2013.

The Earth is also in the frame, visible between the G ring and the main bright rings at the bottom of the image.

An extraordinarily rare photograph captures the precise moment Saturn emerges from behind the Moon.

This celestial alignment typically only occurs once every five years.

Did you know that apart from revolutionizing physics, Einstein also co-invented a refrigerator with his former student, Leo Szilard, in 1926? This refrigerator had no moving parts and used ammonia, butane, and water as working fluids. It was an environmentally friendly design, a response to the harmful gases used in refrigerators at the time, though it never became a commercial success.

But the mathematicians of the nineteenth century failed miserably to grasp the equally great opportunity offered to them in 1865 by Maxwell. If they had taken Maxwell's equations to heart as Euler took Newton's, they would have discovered, among other things, Einstein's theory of special relativity, the theory of topological groups and their linear representations, and probably large pieces of the theory of hyperbolic differential equations and functional analysis. A great part of twentieth century physics and mathematics could have been created in the nineteenth century, simply by exploring to the end the mathematical concepts to which Maxwell's equations naturally lead.

Looking back at my Huginn mission, it has been an experience out of this world😉 A dream come true, where I got to live and work on the International Space Station for more than 6 months, conducting science from Denmark, Europe, and the world, in areas like our immune system, water filtration, virtual reality and how we sleep on the Space Station.

I also used many hours of my sparetime in Cupola, taking marvelous pictures of Earth and seeing our blue planet as one. From green forests, sandy deserts and more volcanoes that I can count, each picture shows what our place in the universe has to offer.

Here is a little collection of my work and incredible views from the Space Station.

Når jeg ser tilbage på min Huginn mission, har det været en oplevelse ud over denne verden😉 En drøm der gik i opfyldelse, hvor jeg fik lov til at leve og arbejde på den Internationale Rumstation i mere end 6 måneder. Her udførte jeg videnskab fra Danmark, Europa, og verden, indenfor vores immunsystem, vandfiltrering, virtuel virkelighed og hvordan vi sover på Rumstationen for at nævne et par stykker

Jeg brugte også mange timer af min fritid i Cupola, hvor jeg tog fantastiske billeder af Jorden - herfra er det tydeligt at der kun er én blå planet vores. Fra grønne skove, sandørkener og flere vulkaner, end jeg kan tælle, viser hvert billede, hvad vores plads i universet har at byde på.

Her er en lille samling fra mit arbejde og de utrolige udsigter fra Rumstationen.

Photographer Wu Yung-sen has been deep sea diving and photographing marine life for four years.

On a blackwater dive—unable to see the bottom and surrounded by impenetrable space—he chanced upon a rare larval Wunderpus octopus, totally transparent.

After almost six months on the International Space Station, it is time to go home. We have gotten the date for our return: No earlier than 8 March 2024 will Jasmin, Satoshi, Konstantin, and I enter our Crew Dragon "Endurance" and undock from the Space Station and splash down near the coast of Florida. The return is dependent on Crew 8's launch on the 1 March and weather at the landing site off the coast of Florida.

It has been a fantastic mission, where I became the commander of the crew on Expedition 70, a fantastic international crew where we have explored new science and worked together to make it a great expedition. Unfortunately, the spacewalk I was planned to go out on will not be performed this time, but maybe in the future by another crew.

My Huginn mission has been a dream come true, where I got to live and work on International Space Station once more, this time for a little bit longer than in 2015 😉 I will do my best to make the most of these last few weeks, and at the same time, I look forward to coming home to my family.

Efter næsten seks måneder på Den Internationale Rumstation er det tid til at tage hjem. Vi har fået datoen for vores retur: Tidligst den 8. marts 2024 vil Jasmin, Satoshi, Konstantin og jeg gå om bord i vores Crew Dragon "Endurance", koble os fra Rumstationen og lande ud for kysten af Florida. Vores retur afhænger af opsendelsen af Crew 8 den 1. marts og vejret på landingsstedet ud for Floridas kyst.

Det har været en fantastisk mission, hvor jeg blev kommandør for besætningen på Ekspedition 70, en fantastisk international besætning, hvor vi har udført ny videnskab og arbejdet sammen for at gøre det til en god ekspedition. Desværre vil den planlagte rumvandring, jeg skulle have deltaget i, ikke blive udført denne gang, men måske i fremtiden af en anden besætning.

Min Huginn mission har været en drøm, der er gået i opfyldelse, hvor jeg har fået lov til at leve og arbejde på Den Internationale Rumstation endnu engang, denne gang lidt længere end i 2015😉 Jeg vil gøre mit bedste for at nyde de sidste par uger, samtidig med at jeg ser frem til at komme hjem til min familie.
