naaaajs :)

 

 

evo par zanimljivih slicica.. nema veze sa misijama, nego.. onako.. for fun :)

Welcome to Planet Hunters. With your help, we are looking for planets around other stars.

NASA's Kepler spacecraft is one of the most powerful tools in the search for extrasolar planets (exoplanets), planets orbiting stars outside of our own Solar System, and its discoveries continue to revolutionize our understanding of how planetary systems grow and evolve. Approximately every 30 minutes, Kepler monitors the brightness of many thousands of stars simultaneously for the signature of exoplanets via the transit technique. When an exoplanet passes or transits in front of its parent star, the star momentarily dims. This decrease in brightness is detectable by Kepler and lasts for a few hours or more and repeats once per orbit of the planet.

The time series of brightness measurements for a star is called a light curve. Automated computers are sifting through the Kepler light curves looking for the repeating signal of a planet transit, but we think there will be planets which can only be found via the innate human ability for pattern recognition. At Planet Hunters we are enlisting the public's help to inspect the Kepler light curves and find these planets missed by automated detection algorithms. No training required! All you need is your keen eyes and a web browser to join the hunt.

It's just possible that you might be the first to know that a star somewhere out there in the Milky Way has a companion, just as our Sun does. Fancy giving it a try?

 

Prilicno je zabavno, a i jednostavno. Ne zahteva nikakav astrotrening. Ja se vec sajnapovao i poceo da lovim... :)

NASA's Journey to Mars

NASA is developing the capabilities needed to send humans to an asteroid by 2025 and Mars in the 2030s – goals outlined in the bipartisan NASA Authorization Act of 2010 and in the U.S. National Space Policy, also issued in 2010.

Mars is a rich destination for scientific discovery and robotic and human exploration as we expand our presence into the solar system. Its formation and evolution are comparable to Earth, helping us learn more about our own planet’s history and future. Mars had conditions suitable for life in its past. Future exploration could uncover evidence of life, answering one of the fundamental mysteries of the cosmos: Does life exist beyond Earth?

While robotic explorers have studied Mars for more than 40 years, NASA’s path for the human exploration of Mars begins in low-Earth orbit aboard the International Space Station. Astronauts on the orbiting laboratory are helping us prove many of the technologies and communications systems needed for human missions to deep space, including Mars. The space station also advances our understanding of how the body changes in space and how to protect astronaut health.

Our next step is deep space, where NASA will send a robotic mission to capture and redirect an asteroid to orbit the moon. Astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft will explore the asteroid in the 2020s, returning to Earth with samples. This experience in human spaceflight beyond low-Earth orbit will help NASA test new systems and capabilities, such as Solar Electric Propulsion, which we’ll need to send cargo as part of human missions to Mars. Beginning in FY 2018, NASA’s powerful Space Launch System rocket will enable these “proving ground” missions to test new capabilities. Human missions to Mars will rely on Orion and an evolved version of SLS that will be the most powerful launch vehicle ever flown.

A fleet of robotic spacecraft and rovers already are on and around Mars, dramatically increasing our knowledge about the Red Planet and paving the way for future human explorers. The Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover measured radiation on the way to Mars and is sending back radiation data from the surface. This data will help us plan how to protect the astronauts who will explore Mars. Future missions like the Mars 2020 rover, seeking signs of past life, also will demonstrate new technologies that could help astronauts survive on Mars.

Engineers and scientists around the country are working hard to develop the technologies astronauts will use to one day live and work on Mars, and safely return home from the next giant leap for humanity. NASA also is a leader in a Global Exploration Roadmap, working with international partners and the U.S. commercial space industry on a coordinated expansion of human presence into the solar system, with human missions to the surface of Mars as the driving goal.

11.56 The launch will now be delayed from the original time of 12.05 says the Delta 4 launch director.

11.51 Latest from Nasa suggests there will be a delay as they try and remove a boat from the launch area.

    #Orion is currently "no-go" due to a range issue. There's a boat in the launch area. Teams are working to remove the boat from the area.

 

New launch time 13:17.

[Skyhighatrist]

Ne da im se...

 

 

13.27 Another 'anomaly team discussion' is underway says our radio man after a fuel drain and valve failed to close.

13.25 Another hold. This time for some fuel issues nearing launch. No new estimated launch time as yet. Knew this was too good to be true.

12.54 Ok scratch that. Another hold! More above limit wind again.

12.15 Looks like some "ground winds" are now adding a slight delay to the launch time, due to be at 12.17. Shouldn't be a 'show-stopper' however say Nasa.

11.56 The launch will now be delayed from the original time of 12.05 says the Delta 4 launch director.

Valjda ce biti nesto do mojeg sjutra, odoh da spavam.

 

 

PS. Sve vreme citam lunch delayed, pa mi ekstra tuzno.

[Skyhighatrist]

Imaju još oko sat vremena da ufate današnji lunch^tm window...

[Indy]

Aj sacekacu jos malo... valjda ce biti nesto za lunch™.
