I Think Aurora And Hera Should Meet. They Would Have The Most Incredible Bitching Sessions About Their

I think Aurora and Hera should meet. They would have the most incredible bitching sessions about their respective crews.

Sassy spaceships unite.

Hubble Space Telescope: Exploring the Cosmos and Making Life Better on Earth

In the 35 years since its launch aboard space shuttle Discovery, the Hubble Space Telescope has provided stunning views of galaxies millions of light years away. But the leaps in technology needed for its look into space has also provided benefits on the ground. Here are some of the technologies developed for Hubble that have improved life on Earth.

Image Sensors Find Cancer

Charge-coupled device (CCD) sensors have been used in digital photography for decades, but Hubble’s Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph required a far more sensitive CCD. This development resulted in improved image sensors for mammogram machines, helping doctors find and treat breast cancer.

Laser Vision Gives Insights

In preparation for a repair mission to fix Hubble’s misshapen mirror, Goddard Space Flight Center required a way to accurately measure replacement parts. This resulted in a tool to detect mirror defects, which has since been used to develop a commercial 3D imaging system and a package detection device now used by all major shipping companies.

Optimized Hospital Scheduling

A computer scientist who helped design software for scheduling Hubble’s observations adapted it to assist with scheduling medical procedures. This software helps hospitals optimize constantly changing schedules for medical imaging and keep the high pace of emergency rooms going.

Optical Filters Match Wavelengths and Paint Swatches

For Hubble’s main cameras to capture high-quality images of stars and galaxies, each of its filters had to block all but a specific range of wavelengths of light. The filters needed to capture the best data possible but also fit on one optical element. A company contracted to construct these filters used its experience on this project to create filters used in paint-matching devices for hardware stores, with multiple wavelengths evaluated by a single lens.

I CANNNN so basically all the energy in the universe wants to be as spread out as possible so whenever energy goes into something it has to come out but it doesn’t always have to come out in the same form which is why stuff can exist without immediately exploding

can anyone explain entropy in a way that makes sense to a somewhat insane 17 year old

if you dont fuck w jacobi and maxwell being best friends forever you dont fuck with me. Highlight of s3 relisten for me so far has been listening to them banter. It’s such a different banter from what you get from everyone else butting heads it’s so bouncy. It tells you they do this all the time but like. They’re friends about it. They hate each other but they also do nefarious shit together theyre bonded forever . Until the incident of course but i digress .

The Trans Beauty Nova

In Pokemon X&Y there is a Beauty Nova that is encountered who says the following. "Yes, a mere half year ago I was a Black Belt! Quite thee transformation, wouldn't you say?" The Black Belt is a trainer class that has been only depicted as male, thus implying this Beauty Nova is trans.

This is made even more clear on the Japanese side as she says the following. "I was a Karate King just half a year ago; the power of medical science is awesome, wouldn't you say?"
