So Many Theories. ......

I like when an article thumbnail features a pic of a woman conductor, as it is the closest I will get to living in a world where newspapers write feel-good human-interest stories about a local witch who is proud to show off her new spell.

fucks sake

🤯 Julio Lafuente was a Spanish architect who worked mainly in Italy. This is a summer cabin he built with structural engineer Gaetano Rebecchini on Capocotta beach near Rome in 1965. We have never seen anything like it. What a playful to stack bunkers! Thanks to @rural_office for tipping us off.

Now we just need Jaimie Alexander returning as Lady Sif

Natalie Portman returns in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Jane Foster / female Thor

M87 on different scales and wavelengths

VLA radio image of the galaxy M87 in 1999. We are looking at complex flows of matter 200,000 light years across (that’s twice the size of our galaxy, the Milky Way). Let’s get closer.

X-ray image by Chandra, 2019 - we are looking at very energetic emission here! The close-up is about 25,000 light years across. Let’s look more closely…

Composite (UV, optical, infrared) image from the Hubble Space Telescope (2000). You can see the plasma jet the central Supermassive Black Hole ejects. The width of the image is 5000 light years.

Are you ready to see what’s causing all this mess?

This image is a fraction of a light year across (edited by Randall Munroe of XKCD). The supermassive black hole weighs 6.5 billion times our Sun!

Robotic “Bees” Are About to Join Astronauts in Space

There are some things only humans can do in space. The rest can be left to robots. To free up valuable time for astronauts living and working aboard the International Space Station, we’re sending three robotic helpers to the orbiting outpost. Developed and built at our Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley, the cube-shaped Astrobee robots will each stay as busy as a bee flying around the space station and assisting crew with routine tasks like maintenance and tracking inventory. The robots will also help researchers on the ground carry out experiments, test new technologies and study human-robot interaction in space. Learning how robots can best work with humans in close proximity will be key for exploring the Moon and other destinations. Get to know more about our new robots headed to space: 

The Astrobee robots were tested inside a special lab at our Ames Research Center where researchers created a mockup of the space station’s interior. 

The flying robots are propelled by fans. They can move in any direction and turn on any axis in space. 

Each robot is equipped with cameras and sensors for navigating inside the space station and avoiding obstacles.

Claw power! Astrobees have a robotic arm that can be attached for handling cargo or running experiments.

Astrobee is battery powered. When its battery runs low, the robot will autonomously navigate and dock to a power station to recharge.

The robots can operate in either fully automated mode or under remote control by astronauts or researchers on Earth.

Astrobee builds on the success of SPHERES, our first-generation robotic assistant that arrived at the space station in 2006.  

Two of the three Astrobee robots are scheduled to launch to space this month from our Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia! Tune in to the launch at www.nasa.gov/live.
