Elon Musk: Ocean spaceport Deimos is under construction for launch next year

After 4 nights of clouds, I finally captured an incredibly rare atmospheric phenomenon in my astrophoto (OP)

Last October, over 3,800 teams participated in our 9th @SpaceApps Challenge, using our trove of open-access data to solve real-life problems in a 48-hour hackathon. How the winning teams forged connections and found inspiration for their projects: https://t.co/iRGgg2u0Za https://t.co/GeeQcNnTSz

Don't miss out on the partial solar eclipse coming on the 10th of June, 2021

Having issues getting detail on Jupiter

Hi, so this morning at about 4 am I got up to have a shot at imaging Saturn and Jupiter with my phone and telescope. I was using a 4.5 inch 900mm focal length reflector and I was using a phone holder. Saturn turned out pretty good all though I couldn't see the Cassini division. However on Jupiter all I could see was a beige disc with one red stripe faintly visible. Do I need to try stacking a bunch of images or is this simply the limit of what I can achieve with my basic setup?

Project Mercury (SEASON FINALE) [4K]

50 years ago today Mariner 9 launched. Within one year of arrival at Mars, Mariner 9 sent back atmospheric data and over 7,000 photos of the surface: https://t.co/WI5TgTlipB https://t.co/uzxszf0O6K

Late spring is when Leo starts walking downward toward the west, on his way to departing into the sunset in early summer. Right after dark, spot the brightest star toward the west-southwest. That's Regulus, his forefoot. #stargazing https://t.co/0cPWvtGEQy https://t.co/E5EpQc7aFC

The spacesuits Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley wore during the Demo-2 launch looked a bit different from the ones we were used to. Superhero costume designer Jose Fernandez designed the initial look, which SpaceX then transformed into a functioning spacesuit. https://t.co/tjSaGyA6Is

🤩 Stargazing from the space station⁣ ⁣ An astronaut took this photo of a starry night sky and an atmospheric glow blanketing the Earth during an orbital night period, as the International Space Station (ISS) orbited 266 miles above the Indian Ocean. The space station orbits Earth every 90 minutes, so the crew members aboard see as many as 16 sunrises and sunsets in a day. ⁣ ⁣ What’s it like to see the stars from orbit, far above Earth’s atmosphere? Astronaut Drew Morgan recalls, “stars are much more distinct. They don’t have that twinkle anymore, everything is very crisp, and naturally you see infinitely more stars […] infinitely more.”⁣ ⁣ Would you want to go stargazing from space?⁣ ⁣ Credit: NASA⁣ ⁣ #StarryNight #AllTheStars #Stargazing #Atmosphere
