"Why are two Texas senators trying to wrest a Space Shuttle from the Smithsonian?" by @arstechnica / @sciguyspace - Texas senators introduced crazy bill which should have no chance of passing. The harebrained stupid $1B proposal would risk damaging Space Shuttle Discovery to move it from the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum to Houston, which failed in its bid for a shuttle when museum locations were up for discussion 15 years ago. #NASA wants no part in this. https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/04/why-are-two-texas-senators-trying-to-wrest-a-space-shuttle-from-the-smithsonian/ #space #WTF

The Orbital Index Issue № 314:
Proposed budget cuts to NASA and NOAA could cripple US scientific research, risking the closure of Goddard Space Flight Center. Recent discoveries include insights on the Oort cloud and Mars's ice cap. Notable updates: NASA's Lucy mission flyby, Bangladesh joins Artemis, and Blue Origin's all-female crew mission.

Virgo Cluster Galaxies

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2504/LRGB_final_corrected1024.jpg

Galaxies of the Virgo Cluster are scattered across this nearly 4 degree wide telescopic field of view. About 50 million light-years distant, the Virgo Cluster is the closest large galaxy cluster to our own local galaxy group. Prominent here are Virgo's bright elliptical galaxies from the Messier catalog, M87 at bottom left, and M86 and M84 near center right. M86 and M84 are recognized as part of Markarian's Chain, the visually striking line-up of galaxies on the that runs through the upper portion of this frame. Near the middle of the chain lies an intriguing interacting pair of galaxies, NGC 4438 and NGC 4435, known to some as Markarian's Eyes. Still, giant elliptical galaxy M87 dominates the Virgo cluster. It's the home of a super massive black hole, the first black hole ever imaged by planet Earth's Event Horizon Telescope.

10年以上にわたってセンターの研究任務を支えてきたNASAのS-3Bバイキング機が、クリーブランドのNASAグレン研究センターから移動し、新たな名誉ある任務を開始する。この航空機はフロリダ州ジャクソンビルにある国立捕虜・行方不明者記念館（National POW/MIA Memorial and Museum）に向かい、そこですべての捕虜に敬意を表して展示される予定である。 #NASA

I remember messing around with my classmates in high school because they spent money buying #NASA stuff, without having any interest whatsoever in space exploration. I was a huge space junkie at the time, and I was proudly wearing #ESA swag ALL THE TIME. Ten years have passed, but I still wear

I remember messing around with my classmates in high school because they spent money buying #NASA stuff, without having any interest whatsoever in space exploration. I was a huge space junkie at the time, and I was proudly wearing #ESA swag ALL THE TIME.

Ten years have passed, but I still wear the same swag with the same love, even if I am not into so much into #Astronomy anymore…

Here is a picture of me in Montjuic, Barcelona, during the school trip of our last year of high school

I didn't check today: High winds all over NZ but apparently not in Wanaka so the balloon launched and I missed it . Tracker here ...
