LL Ori And The Orion Nebula : Stars Can Make Waves In The Orion Nebula’s Sea Of Gas And Dust. This

LL Ori and the Orion Nebula : Stars can make waves in the Orion Nebula’s sea of gas and dust. This esthetic close-up of cosmic clouds and stellar winds features LL Orionis, interacting with the Orion Nebula flow. Adrift in Orion’s stellar nursery and still in its formative years, variable star LL Orionis produces a wind more energetic than the wind from our own middle-aged Sun. As the fast stellar wind runs into slow moving gas a shock front is formed, analogous to the bow wave of a boat moving through water or a plane traveling at supersonic speed. The small, arcing, graceful structure just above and left of center is LL Ori’s cosmic bow shock, measuring about half a light-year across. The slower gas is flowing away from the Orion Nebula’s hot central star cluster, the Trapezium, located off the upper left corner of the picture. In three dimensions, LL Ori’s wrap-around shock front is shaped like a bowl that appears brightest when viewed along the “bottom” edge. This beautiful painting-like photograph is part of a large mosaic view of the complex stellar nursery in Orion, filled with a myriad of fluid shapes associated with star formation. via NASA

Capturing Space Stories, One Click at a Time!

It’s World Photography Day!

To celebrate the occasion, we’re sharing photos from our photographers that chronicle what’s making news across the agency - from launches and landings to important science announcements to images taken from the vantage point of space.

Take a look!

A Closer View of the Moon 

image

Posted to Twitter by European Space Agency astronaut Alexander Gerst, this image shows our planet’s Moon as seen from the International Space Station. As he said in the tweet, “By orbiting the Earth almost 16 times per day, the #ISS crew travel the distance to the Moon and back – every day. #Horizons”

The International Space Station is the world’s only orbital laboratory. An international partnership of space agencies provides and operates the elements of the station. The principals are the space agencies of the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada.

NASA astronaut Ricky Arnold took this selfie during the May 16, 2018, spacewalk to perform upgrades on the International Space Station, saying in a tweet “An amazing view of our one and only planet.”

Arnold and fellow spacewalker Drew Feustel donned spacesuits and worked for more than six hours outside the station to finish upgrading cooling system hardware and install new and updated communications equipment for future dockings of commercial crew spacecraft.

Capturing Space Stories, One Click At A Time!

The mobile service tower at Space Launch Complex-3 is rolled back to reveal the United Launch Alliance Atlas-V rocket with NASA’s InSight spacecraft onboard, Friday, May 4, 2018, at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. InSight, short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport, is a Mars lander designed to study the “inner space” of Mars: its crust, mantle, and core.

Rethinking Aircraft Design

image

In an effort to improve fuel efficiency, NASA and the aircraft industry are rethinking aircraft design. Inside the 8’ x 6’ wind tunnel at NASA Glenn Research Center, engineers tested a fan and inlet design, commonly called a propulsor, which could use four to eight percent less fuel than today’s advanced aircraft.

Flying Observatory

image

SOFIA, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, is the largest airborne observatory in the world, capable of making observations that are impossible for even the largest and highest ground-based telescopes. During its lifetime, SOFIA also will inspire the development of new scientific instrumentation and foster the education of young scientists and engineers.

NTs as Mythical Creatures

ENTP: Manticore. Strong, chaotic, and fierce–with deadly quills of sarcasm

ENTJ: Siren. Beautiful, confident, and charming–may or may not being trying to kill you

INTP: Elf. Illusive, secretive, and curious–might be causing mischief, might be too lazy

INTJ: Basilisk. Quietly bold, cold, cunning–can also kill you with a single glance

“My heart is not captured easily. I am disinterested in small talk, disillusioned with love, and too focused on my dreams and aspirations to lend anybody my attention for long. But if we make that connection, if you find your way into my heart, God, I will fall for you like gravity has let go of the Earth.”

Do you know how to tell if an ENTJ likes you? (Romantically or platonically?)

ENTJs tend to tolerate certain people if they feel there is some benefit for them if they do so, but if you observe for some time you will start to notice little details that show whether the ENTJ is comfortable with the person and focusing on them, or if they are somewhere else wondering when they will be able to escape.

When they like you platonically:

Attention. A pattern I have noticed in most Extroverted types, attention is outside, looking for something new, exciting or interesting. In this case, ENTJs have a tendency towards moving quicky from person to person if they feel there is something more important being discussed in another conversation, so if they keep paying attention and bringing up new topics of conversation, what I understand is that they are interested in speaking with you, rather that trying to get information from you or something like that.

Time. It’s no secret how obssesed with efficiency ENTJs can be, so if they choose to spend time with you when they could be perfectly fine minding their own business, they like you.

Silliness. It may sound strange, but ENTJ are big goofs at heart. Around people they like they drop their bussiness-like façade and start cracking jokes, doing random things and making puns. A lot of puns. 

They share their feelings. VERY IMPORTANT. I happened to be around when one of my closests friends was feeling really down, and because she trusted me, she told me what was going on inside her mind. ENTJs do not open up easily, even though you talk to them everyday, they might still consider you an acquaintance. But if they let you in on their feelings, thoughts and ideas, there’s no doubt they like you. They generally dislike showing weakness, so if you get to see them (When they are sad, for example), that’s another sign they like you.

I have met some ENTJs who, due to their inferior Fi, denied their feelings for some time before accepting them, or even pushed aside the thought completely because it was not “the right time” to focus on things like that. This is however an unhealthy ENTJ behaviour, and what I mean by this is that it might take some time for the ENTJ to realise what they are feeling, mainly because they will question whether this feelings make sense or not, so sometimes the signs they like you might be confusing as their feelings are also confusing to them.

When they like you romantically:

Sweetness. A secret no ENTJ would like you to know is how sweet and nice they are when they truly like someone. They smile a lot, say nice things and compliment the person and believe me, if you see an ENTJ acting like that, you won’t even believe they are ENTJ to begin with. 

Help. ENTJs have a tendency to believe everybody should be able to handle their situation by themselves, but when they like someone, they make the exception of even taking care of the problem themselves. For example, if you have trouble with your homework, normal ENTJ reaction would be to wait for you to figure it out, help you with some things they consider difficult, and leave you alone. But if the ENTJ goes out of their way to help you they will stay by your side until you finish, let you see their homework, or spend much more time explaining something to you.

Stands by you. They also do it when they like you in general, but when they like you romantically, it is much more fierce. They won’t hesitate if they need to take measures to make sure someone they like is okay. For example, my ENTJ friend will make sarcastic remarks when someone tries to pick on his INFP cousin, or straight up tell them to back off. I figure they do the same with people they like.

Time. But in a different way from above. They are much more flexible, for example they will change their schedule to suit you and make time for the both of you to spend together, instead of waiting until you both have time.

I hope this helped. Thanks for the question :)
