Atlantis Space Shuttle Launch as seen from above. I always thought NASA was the most important government organization. NASA was responsible for inspiring so many kids to study science and to literally reach for the stars.

“Pale Blue Dot” The Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of planet Earth taken in 1990 by the Voyager 1 space craft from a record distance of about 6 billion kilometers from Earth.  In the photograph, Earth is shown as a tiny dot against the vastness of space.  The Voyager 1 spacecraft, which had completed its primary mission and was leaving the solar system, was commanded by NASA to turn its camera around and to take a photograph of Earth across a great expanse of space, by the request of Carl Sagan.

piercednymphaea: dvdp: “A wide field meteor camera at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center recorded this spectacular meteor breaking up in Earth’s atmosphere on Sept. 30, 2011, 8:37 p.m. EDT. Also visible is a star-like object moving slowly toward the upper middle of the field of view — the upper stage of the Zenit booster that launched the Russian Cosmos 2219 intelligence satellite back in 1992. Orbiting 500 miles above Earth, this empty rocket body can get bright enough to be seen with the unaided eye.” I’ve seen a meteor going in the atmosphere like that irl, it was really cool!
