One small rollout for Apollo 11, one giant rollout for mankind!
#OTD in 1969, while the Apollo 10 astronauts were on their way to the Moon, the Saturn V that carried Apollo 11 on its historic journey made its slow trek from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39A.

@terzaketv Waarom het ontstaan van het universum gaan onderzoeken, als je ook het ontstaan van de universele heteronormatieve gendertheorie kan onderzoeken? Zolang de K.U.L. wordt geleid door witte supremecactische euro cis-mannen, ben ik tegen de komst van de telescoop! #terzaketv

A new year dawns here on the Space Coast with more rockets, more science, and more wildlife in 2024!
From our spaceport family to yours, we wish you a healthy and happy new year!
Make a wish! 🌠 Shooting stars are meteoroids entering our atmosphere and burning up because of the friction with the air. That means that there are no shooting stars on the Moon, so enjoy the ones we can see from Earth!
What are your wishes for the new year?

Here’s a classic from 1969 for UN Day today – the Apollo XI crew paying a visit to the United Nations as part of the world tour following our return to Earth. It was an honor and a privilege to represent America on so many different stages, for so many people, and for such a noble and peaceful endeavor.
Would you believe me if I told you this was captured with a backyard telescope?
A supernova created this incredibly chaotic and beautiful structure known as the Jellyfish Nebula. Easily captured with my 12" telescope, as it is nearly double the size of the full moon in the sky!
