Heute mal etwas "in eigener Sache", wie man das ja gerne nennt... https://t.co/9U6Q3GtSlN

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

We want to be clear about our objectives. This is our first flight and we’ve prepared rigorously for it. But no amount of ground testing or mission simulations is a replacement for flying this rocket. Our key objective today is to reach orbit safely. Anything beyond that is icing on the cake. We know landing the booster on our first try offshore in the Atlantic is ambitious—but we’re going for it. No matter what happens, we’ll learn, refine, and apply that knowledge to our next launch.

@cosmos4u Danke für den Hinweis, ich hatte mich schon gewundert, dass der Asteroid so einfach zu sehen gewesen sein soll. Ich habe den Artikel angepasst.

Wow

[Jared Isaacman @rookisaacman]

I am honored to receive President Trump’s @realDonaldTrump nomination to serve as the next Administrator of NASA. Having been fortunate to see our amazing planet from space, I am passionate about America leading the most incredible adventure in human history.

On my last mission to space, my crew and I traveled farther from Earth than anyone in over half a century. I can confidently say this second space age has only just begun. Space holds unparalleled potential for breakthroughs in manufacturing, biotechnology, mining, and perhaps even pathways to new sources of energy. There will inevitably be a thriving space economy—one that will create opportunities for countless people to live and work in space. At NASA, we will passionately pursue these possibilities and usher in an era where humanity becomes a true spacefaring civilization.

I was born after the Moon landings; my children were born after the final space shuttle launch. With the support of President Trump, I can promise you this: We will never again lose our ability to journey to the stars and never settle for second place. We will inspire children, yours and mine, to look up and dream of what is possible. Americans will walk on the Moon and Mars and in doing so, we will make life better here on Earth.

It is the honor of a lifetime to serve in this role and to work alongside NASA’s extraordinary team to realize our shared dreams of exploration and discovery.

Grateful to serve,

Jared

☄️🎇Incoming! The 12th ever imminent impactor discovered before atmospheric entry is on it's way to cause a harmless meteor in about 7 hours from now (~16:15 UTC +/- 5 minutes) over Siberia. With an estimated size of ~70 cm diameter it will cause a nice bright fireball #C0WECP5

Am 1. Dezember können wir einen Transit des Jupitermondes Ganymed gleichzeitig mit seinem Schatten sehen. Das Ereignis beginnt gegen 20:25 Uhr und ist dann besonders gut zu beobachten. Während des fast 2 Stunden währenden Durchgangs kommt auch der Große Rote Fleck in Sicht 1/2

Today marks 24 years that @NASA and its partners have maintained a permanent human presence in space. To put this in perspective, this means that anyone under the age of 24 has never lived a day without humans continuously living in space.

After more than a quarter of a century of operations, the space station continues to serve as a world-class laboratory, experiencing many firsts, scientific breakthroughs, and improving life on our home planet every day. – Dana Weigel, Station Program Manager

Is this real life? Because it feels like fucking science fiction.

[Jared Isaacman @rookisaacman]

I’ve explored a lot, but one of the best views was last night in PA during a run. It is incredible how many consecutive & simultaneous miracles it took to give us Earth, which protects us from the energy of an angry sun and transforms it into something so visually spectacular.

@KHofsttter @XyzFrau @NicosPanoptikum Viel Erfolg!

[Tanja Banner @cassiopeia]

In Wolkenlücken sieht man hier (Hainburg, Hessen) vereinzelt rosa #Polarlicht durchblitzen... Geht raus, versucht euer Glück!

[Tanja Banner @cassiopeia]

@DrPeterLange2 Danke! Das war im Rhein-Main-Gebiet

[Tanja Banner @cassiopeia]

Besser wird es heute nicht mehr, denn der Himmel zieht zu... aber durch die Wolkenlücken konnte man deutlich das #Polarlicht erkennen.

[Tanja Banner @cassiopeia]

@KHofsttter @XyzFrau @NicosPanoptikum Sorry für die späte Antwort, aber wie ich sehe, wurdest du ja schon gut beraten :-)

We're about 9 hrs from Comet Tshuchinsan-ATLAS from entering the LASCO C3 images. It'll appear in the right-hand side. (Trust me -- you won't miss it!)

Comet rises up over the horizon just before orbital sunrise with aurora streaking by.

This morning, I captured another image of Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) from the @LCOAstro site in the Atacama Desert, Chile 🇨🇱✨😱. The view was absolutely stunning !!! The comet is clearly visible visually. My gear: Nikon D810a camera with a 135mm lens. Exposure: 20 x 30 seconds. #Comet #Astronomy #Atacama #chile #TsuchinshanATLAS #cometa #CometC2023A3 #Tsuchinshan #C2023A3 #FollowTheComet

Die Beobachtungssaison für Tsuchinshan-ATLAS beginnt mit einem Beobachtungsfenster am Morgenhimmel. Man kann bei einer Sonnenhöhe von -10° mit dem Beobachten beginnen und hat dann ein Zeitfenster von etwa einer halben Stunde, wobei die Uhrzeiten im deutschen Sprachraum... 1/3
