Nasa gravity satellites slam into Moon. Doomed Spacecraft Captures Awesome Close-Up Video of Moon. Three days before the moon-orbiting Ebb spacecraft collided with a lunar mountain, its on-board cameras captured some striking images of the pockmarked moon’s northern hemisphere — from just six miles up.
On Jan. 10, NASA released what look like scenes from a science fiction movie: two probe’s-eye views of the lunar farside, made from Ebb’s stitched-together images. The clips are played six times faster than the spacecraft’s flyover actually occurred. Art vs. Science, Part Four: Gas giants scare the crap out of me – bioephemera. Okay, I knew that planets are big, intellectually, but a well-done graphic is worth a thousand words, and a pretty HD video is even better.
Brad Goodspeed made this video to suggest what other planets would look like, if they orbited Earth at the same distance as the Moon does. I’ve embedded it, but you should seriously watch it in HD, full-screen for maximum effect. Scale from Brad Goodspeed on Vimeo. I have nightmares like that. Seriously. In addition to being full-on creepy, Brad’s video produced a fascinating discussion in the comments and on various sites linking to his blog. Nasalta ennennäkemättömän tarkka värikuva Merkuriuksesta.

Throughout most of human history, humans knew Venus as "the brightest star in the sky. " Fifty years ago, however -- December 14, 1962 -- humanity got to know our neighbor planet in a wonderfully new way: up close and personal. On that day, NASA's Mariner 2 spacecraft sailed by Venus, at a range of 21,600 miles, scanning its atmosphere and surface for a full 42 minutes. It was the first time any spacecraft had ever successfully made a close-up study of another planet.

"Human's May be One of the Early Intelligent Species in the Universe" (Weekend Feature) Arthur C Clarke once wrote that a trillion years from now an advanced civilization will look back at us with envy and say "They knew the Universe when it was young.
" We may soon discover that intelligent life, indeed, may be in it's "very young" stage in the observable Universe. Its 200 billion galaxies show a clear potential to continue on as we see them today for hundreds of billions of years, if not much longer. Because planets and life are so young in our Universe, says Harvard's Dimitar Sasselov, perhaps "the human species are not late comers to the party. We may be among the early ones. " ?ref=http%3A%2F%2Ft.
