Nasa + SpaceX

From The Verge:

SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule successfully splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean after spending nearly a week at the International Space Station. The plunge brings the spacecraft’s first test flight to an end. With the splashdown, SpaceX has proven its capsule can survive the harrowing journey to space and back, and that means the company has just made a significant leap forward in its quest to put people on the Crew Dragon someday.

Smooth flight.

Jupiter Drama

From nasa.gov:

Dramatic atmospheric features in Jupiter’s northern hemisphere are captured in this view from NASA’s Juno spacecraft. The new perspective shows swirling clouds that surround a circular feature within a jet stream region called “Jet N6.”

Crazy planet that one.

Ultima Thule

From nasa.gov:

These new images of Ultima Thule – obtained by the telephoto Long-Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) just six-and-a-half minutes before New Horizons’ closest approach to the object (officially named 2014 MU69) at 12:33 a.m. EST on Jan. 1, 2019 – offer a resolution of about 110 feet (33 meters) per pixel. Their combination of high spatial resolution and a favorable viewing angle gives the team an unprecedented opportunity to investigate the surface, as well as the origin and evolution, of Ultima Thule, which is thought to be the most primitive object ever encountered by a spacecraft.

Fascinating! Very cool!

To the Moon

From arsTechnica:

“We want to strike a balance between getting to the Moon as fast as possible while also, when we get to the Moon, we’re there to stay,” NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said during a media call before the event. “This is the big vision.”

This is late. Should have been there already.

Growing plants on the Moon

From The Verge:

A biology experiment on board China’s recent Moon lander has sprouted tiny cotton plants, marking the first time that humans have grown plants on the lunar surface

Cool. What if it work, and spreads, perhaps we get a cotton Moon? 🙂

Radio Waves

From The Verge:

Astronomers have spotted more than a dozen new pulses of radio waves coming from outside our galaxy, including a few bursts that stem from the exact same location in the sky.

Very fascinating.
