New Post: Hubble Captures a Galactic Dance - https://lnkd.in/e3pt65Hp striking image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope captures the interacting galaxy pair known as Arp-Madore 2339-661. The Arp-Madore catalog is a collection of peculiar galaxies, and this group’s particular peculiarity might be odder than first meets the eye, as there are three galaxies interacting here, not just two.  The two clearly defined galaxies are NGC […]

This post shares a video of Carl Sagan's famous speech about the pale blue dot, the image of Earth taken by the Voyager 1 spacecraft in 1990. The speech reflects on the fragility and uniqueness of our planet, and the importance of cherishing and preserving it. • Perspective: The pale blue dot shows how small and insignificant we are in the vastness of space. • Planet: The Earth is the only home we have, and it is full of life, beauty, and diversity. • Cosmos: The universe is a wonder to explore, but also a reminder of our responsibility to protect our world and each other. 💡One idea for you is to learn more about the #UNFPA Family Planning Strategy 2022-2030, which aims to ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights, including family planning, as a way to contribute to the sustainable development of our planet.

A day on Venus is longer than a year! Venus has a slow axis rotation which takes 243 Earth days to complete its day. The orbit of Venus around the Sun is 225 Earth days, making a year on Venus 18 days less than a day on Venus. Moreover, Venus rotates in a clockwise direction (also called as "Retrograde Rotational Motion') whereas all the other planets rotate in the anti-clockwise direction. This image is captured by #CassiniSpacecraft International Space Station of NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration on October 6, 2004.

Bravo Sierra Space! This latest successful milestone and the first one in the testing campaign to include a metallic window sub-structure – or blanking plate – now propels Sierra Space into full-scale testing of LIFE by the end of this year. The milestone cements the company’s position as the industry leader in commercial space station development for use in low-Earth orbit (LEO) and deep space. “Sierra Space is putting affordable in-space infrastructure within reach so every boardroom can now look to space for their next breakthrough products,” said Sierra Space CEO Tom Vice. “Our revolutionary space station technology, combined with our highly reusable Dream Chaser spaceplane, significantly decreases the cost of in-space infrastructure and Is ushering in the commercialization of Low Earth Orbit.” Check out Sierra Space's latest video: Reinventing the Space Station with LIFE Habitat here: https://lnkd.in/dt3SRjw2 #SpaceNews #SpaceExploration #SpaceInnovation #SierraSpace #LowEarthOrbit

This striking NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows the densely packed globular cluster known as NGC 2210, which is situated in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The Large Magellanic Cloud is a so-called satellite galaxy of our Milky Way, meaning that the two galaxies are gravitationally bound! Globular clusters are very stable, tightly bound clusters of thousands or even millions of stars. Their stability means that they can last a long time, and therefore globular clusters are often studied in order to investigate potentially very old stellar populations. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eMVEinzg Image credits: ESA/Hubble & NASA, A.

Witness a Majestic Spiral Galaxy in Exquisite Detail Have you ever gazed upon a spiral galaxy? This stunning image from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center captures the beauty and complexity of NGC 4622. NGC 4622 is a grand design spiral galaxy, located about 70 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. Its bright central bulge, dusty spiral arms, and scattered star clusters create a breathtaking spectacle. Why study spiral galaxies? Understanding these galaxies helps us learn more about our own Milky Way galaxy's structure and evolution. Astronomers can also observe star formation and the presence of supermassive black holes within these galaxies.
