We have successfully blocked out the entire universe from our view.
If we deleted the excess light, 4 billion people would look up and see the Milky Way for the first time tonight.
It would change human consciousness instantly.
THIS, my friends, it's a sliver of Earth, our beautiful planet, illuminated in deep space. There's so much more from Artemis II to see. This is just so delicate and beautiful. We're so lucky to have this planet. 🫶
NASA's '1st Nuclear powered interplanetary spacecraft' will send Skyfall helicopters to Mars in 2028.
Skyfall is a new Mars mission concept by NASA using six small helicopters instead of one rover.
Using a mid-air Skyfall maneuver, each explores independently, capturing images and scanning below the surface.
Waves on Titan can be much higher and slower-moving than on Earth, largely due to the very low gravity, combined with the light liquid composition of its lakes and its high atmospheric pressure.

We are essentially building a cage of junk around our own planet. If we don't erase it soon, we'll be grounded forever. Earth deserves a clear exit ramp to the stars.
Since the Moon keeps one face turned toward Earth, its far side is never visible to us.
This is what it looks like:

🚨 BREAKING:
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured stunning new near- and mid-infrared views of the Cranium Nebula.
While its near-infrared sensors reveal a dense field of distant stars and galaxies, the mid-infrared perspective brings the nebula's glowing cosmic dust into sharp focus.
The movie 2001: A Space Odyssey came out in 1968.
It showed a spinning space station that creates fake gravity.
This idea uses spinning to push people outward, like a fast merry-go-round.
Real scientists still study this for long space trips to Mars.
The film's effects looked so real that they amazed people even before we landed on the Moon.
