Here is a 1969 logo from the Apollo 11 missions. During the 1960s, NASA put together hundreds of manuals, guidebooks, covers, and posters to promote the space program.

On January 16, 2006, the New Horizons space probe left Earth on a voyage to Pluto. 9 years, 5 months, and 29 days later, the spacecraft has successfully made it 3+ billion miles to the distant “planet.” The image above was shared via NASA’s Instagram page and represents the first look at the planet up close and personal.
via Phil Plait:
“The color is real! The reddish hue is due to tholins, organic (carbon-based) molecules crated when methane, abundant on Pluto, is hit by ultraviolet light from the Sun. This breaks apart the simple molecule and allows it to reform into more complex molecules.”
The folks at NPR’s Skunkbear put together this short tribute video to honor the journey:
And here’s a quick 1 minute informational video to catch you up on the key statistics of the mission:
Look forward to many more detailed images in the days to come.

“The Space Project” is an incredible series of photographs by Vincent Fournier, who hails from the little known country of Burkina Faso in West Africa. Vincent traveled around the world to capture space training facilities which were left mostly in a state of abandonment. You may have noticed that most countries seem to have shifted their interests away from manned space programs in recent years. After the lunar landing on July 20th, 1969, we just haven’t collectively wanted to exhaust the resources need to journey to Mars and beyond…
These photographs capture some of the beautifully faded glory of space programs around the world. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

There are many more gems from “The Space Project” that you can find at Vincent’s website, here. I think he may be my new favorite photographer. If you are in Amsterdam before October 31st, definitely check it out.

The Cassini spacecraft has just found evidence for an ocean of liquid water inside Saturn’s moon, Enceladus. Of course, this is exciting news because we know that water is an essential agent for all biochemistry on Earth. In other words, the best places to search for alien life in our solar system contain some source of liquid water (i.e. Europa).
The ocean was found using gravitational measurements from the spacecraft. According to Sami Asmar of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif.: “The way we deduce gravity variations is a concept in physics called the Doppler Effect, the same principle used with a speed-measuring radar gun. As the spacecraft flies by Enceladus, its velocity is perturbed by an amount that depends on variations in the gravity field that we’re trying to measure.

We see the change in velocity as a change in radio frequency, received at our ground stations here all the way across the solar system.

Enceladus is just one of 52 named moons that orbit Saturn.
There may be an ocean of alien life swimming around underneath the surface of Enceladus, but we’ll never know until we can drill into the moon.

Check out this new NASA super zoom video. The film starts with the familiar strip of stars we know as our Milky Way galaxy, but quickly makes its way toward the spiral galaxy, known as ESO 137-001.

The folks at NASA have described it as a “dandelion caught in a breeze.”
From NASA:
“From a star-forming perspective, ESO 137-001 really is spreading its seeds into space like a dandelion in the wind. The stripped gas is now forming stars. However, the galaxy, drained of its own star-forming fuel, will have trouble making stars in the future.

Through studying this runaway spiral, and other galaxies like it, astronomers hope to gain a better understanding of how galaxies form stars and evolve over time.

The zooming video gives a much appreciated perspective about where this galaxy is located, a feature missing from most astronomical photos. It’s quite the view!

I recently stumbled across a vintage photography treasure trove — the National Geographic Found Tumblr. If you are a fan of photography at all, you must take a look at some of the collection gathered at the site.

It’s a true time capsule.
The Tumblr was launched back in March to celebrate National Geographic’s 125th anniversary, but it feels like the magazine just needed a venue to share some of the fascinating images its collected over the years.

National Geographic curator William Bonner is the man in charge of picking the best photos to be shared with the public, and he’s found some gems.

“Many of these photos have never been published and are rarely seen by the public,” the publication explains on its Tumblr. “We hope to bring new life to these images by sharing them with audiences far and wide. Their beauty has been lost to the outside world for years and many of the images are missing their original date or location.” via The Verge
Wow, I just spent an hour smiling my way through this collection…
