#spacex #starship #elonmusk O.F.T (Orbital Flight Test) is a fictional animation depicting a first test flight of the long-awaited SpaceX’s Starship rocket. Starship is a highly ambitious rocket design with many critical systems that have to work together perfectly in order for the aspiring goal of full and rapid reusability to become reality. Will the vehicle successfully make it past the grueling dynamics of MaxQ or will a single issue set off a cascade of failures leading to disappointment? This project has been a massive undertaking with many artists from around the world all having a hand in crafting it. Work on this project lasted nearly 9 months from conceptual design to final cutting and scoring. I would not have been able to finish this without the assistance and support provided by the Artists of Spaceflight group members. I want to thank everyone who had a hand in making this a reality and anyone else who helps support and share this film through social media. Lastly and most importantly, I want to thank everyone at SpaceX working to design and innovate the future of spaceflight. Your passion and dedication for making life multi-planetary will inspire generations to come. Credit To : Patreon - / ryanhansenspace Twitter - / ryanhansenspace

Changing your idea of what robots can do – that’s the slogan of Boston Dynamics. Founded in 1992 by Marc Raibert as a spin-off company from MIT, its early days were spent making training videos for the navy. Only later did the company begin delving into the world of robots – amassing a level of expertise unsurpassed throughout the industry. In fact, Boston Dynamics’s achievements look like the opening montage from a science fiction movie. Starting with the cumbersome BigDog – a quadruped robot designed for the military – the company has seen each new generation of robots surpass the last in a relentless fashion. Sometimes their announcements leave you a little more unnerved than impressed. What was once the realm of speculation is now being shipped from Boston Dynamics’ factories on a weekly basis. All the while, the robots move ever closer in the resemblance of their human creators. In this video, I’ll explore the staggering rise of this revolutionary robotics company, taking an in-depth look at their growing super robot army.

Oumuamua: The First Alien Spaceship Scientists and star-gazers alike share this belief. It feeds our wonder and allows us to imagine that our lives may have a much more significant meaning than we’ve been led to believe. Maybe we’re part of a greater intelligence that exists just beyond our reach. This idea is one of the most inspiring and debated throughout human history.

Most people have heard the tale of the dinosaurs, and their tragic extinction at the hand of a massive meteor around 66 million years ago. Dinosaurs had existed on the planet for almost 200 million years at that point, so for them to die out all at once was a massive shift to the planet’s ecosystem. That was of course paired with the fact that the asteroid didn’t just kill off the dinosaurs; it killed off more than 75% of all life on Earth, causing a huge number of species to go extinct all at once. The asteroid that struck the planet was approximately 10 kilometers wide, and hit in the Gulf of Mexico. It caused instantaneous destruction in the immediate vicinity, but the secondary effects of the impact resulted in the end of the Mesozoic Era, and the beginning of the Cenozoic Era. But what were those secondary effects, and how did they affect the way life developed right after the extinction of the dinosaurs? That’s what this video is going to dive into.

This Plane Disappeared and Landed 37 Years Later Imagine this: You book a short, 3-hour commercial flight to visit family like you’ve done every summer. You call them from the airport to confirm the flight is on time and tell them you’ll see them soon. You board the plane, prepare for takeoff and take to the sky. Your family drives to the airport excited to see you. They stare at the arrivals board and see your flight is on time. The arrivals gate fills and empties with no sign of you. They ask the help desk why the flight is delayed, but they don’t have an answer. They wait and wait but the flight never arrives, and no one knows why. It’s simply disappeared. Your family is devastated when they’re told the plane must have crashed in the ocean; even though search efforts failed to identify a crash site. Surely, evidence of a crash would have to be found. Unless there was no crash at all.

Artemis 1 will be on its journey for 25 days, going beyond the dark side of the moon, then returning to Earth and splashing down in the Pacific Ocean in December. The success of this mission is crucial to the Artemis 2 and 3 flights that will follow and which will take humans to and from the moon.

Solar eclipses 2022: When, where & how to see themThe next solar eclipse will be a partial solar eclipse on Oct. 25, 2022, and will be visible from parts of Europe, western Asia and northeast Africa. The next totality will take place on April 8, 2023, during a hybrid solar eclipse. These rare eclipses are a combination of an annular eclipse and a total solar eclipse. "During the event, a "ring of fire" will be visible for a few seconds in the Indian and Pacific oceans, with totality in Exmouth, Western Australia (up to 1 minute), Timor Leste (1 minute 14 seconds) and West Papua (1 minute 9 seconds)." "The next total solar eclipse will be the "Great North American Eclipse" on Apr. 8, 2024, with the path of totality crossing Mexico, the U.S. and Canada." Carter continued.There are four types of solar eclipses depending on how the sun, moon and Earth are aligned at the time of the event. A solar eclipse always occurs about two weeks before or after a lunar eclipse. Total solar eclipse: The sun is fully obscured by the moon. Partial solar eclipse: The moon doesn't fully block the sun so only a portion of the sun is obscured. Here the moon appears to take a "bite" out of the sun. Annular solar eclipse: The moon is centered in front of the sun but doesn't cover the entirety of the surface (as seen in a total solar eclipse). A "ring of fire" shines around the moon. Hybrid solar eclipse: The rarest solar eclipse is a combination of a total and annular eclipse (sometimes known as an A-T eclipse) and is produced when the moon's shadow moves across Earth, it starts as one type of eclipse and transitions to another. The second partial solar eclipse of the year will occur on Oct. 25 and should be visible from Europe, western Asia and northeast Africa. From near sunrise in Iceland to near sunset in western India, the partial solar eclipse will be widely seen. Those wishing to see the moon take the biggest "bite" out of the sun's disk will have to venture some 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers) to the east-northeast of Moscow in the West Siberian Plain where 82% of the sun's area will be covered, according to Sky and Telescope (opens in new tab). Nevertheless, there are still plenty of good partial solar eclipse viewing opportunities across Europe, the Middle East, western Asia and northeast Africa.If you are unable to watch the event in person we have a guide on how you can watch the partial solar eclipse online via various free livestreams. The first location to see the partial solar eclipse begin is at 3.58 a.m. EST (08:58 UTC), the greatest point of total solar eclipse occurs at 6 a.m. EST (11:00 UTC) and it will end at 8:02 a.m. EST (13:02 UTC) at the last location to see the partial eclipse according to timeanddate (opens in new tab).Below is a timetable for the partial solar eclipse on Oct. 25 (all times local), featuring data from timeanddate. After Oct. 25, 2022, we will not experience another solar eclipse until a rare hybrid solar eclipse on Apr. 20, 2023. Portions of the eclipse will be visible in SE Asia, E Indies, Australia, the Philippines and New Zealand while the hybrid eclipse will be visible in Indonesia, Australia, and Papua New Guinea. To find out where and when the portions of the hybrid eclipse are visible check out this interactive Google map (opens in new tab) made by Xavier M. Jubier. The next total solar eclipse will occur on Apr. 8, 2024, and has been dubbed "The Great North American Eclipse" as it will be visible throughout North and Central America. It will start in Mexico, cross into Texas then heads northeast into the Ohio River Valley, upstate New York, Quebec, Canada and New England, finally exiting the continent through the Canadian Maritimes. The maximum duration of totality will last as long as 4 minutes and 26 seconds (over southwest Texas). That's 135 seconds longer than the US average and 40 percent longer than the maximum duration of the 2017 eclipse. The "Great North American Eclipse" isn't the only solar eclipse to look forward to, here is a list of upcoming solar eclipses according to NASA Solar eclipse indonesia solar eclipse malaysia solar eclipse argentina solar eclipse chile solar eclipse brazil solar eclipse france solar eclipse spain solar eclipse asia solar eclipse africa solar eclipse america solar eclipse europe solar eclipse ireland solar eclipse scotland solar eclipse colombia solar eclipse turkey solar eclipse nigeria solar eclipse belgium solar eclipse finland solar eclipse norway solar eclipse iran solar eclipse azerbaijan solar eclipse poland solar eclipse germany solar eclipse uk solar eclipse england solar eclipse venezuela solar eclipse mexico solar eclipse US solar eclipse USA solar eclipse Alaska solar eclipse triniad tobago solar eclipse philippines solar eclipse japan solar eclipse croatia solar eclipse serbia solar eclipse slovenia solar eclipse hungary solar eclipse andorra solar eclipse paraguay solar eclipse italy

The Pillars of Creation are set off in a kaleidoscope of colour in the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope’s near-infrared-light view. The pillars look like arches and spires rising out of a desert landscape, but are filled with semi-transparent gas and dust, and ever changing. This is a region where young stars are forming – or have barely burst from their dusty cocoons as they continue to form. Protostars are the scene-stealers in this Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) image. These are the bright red orbs that sometimes appear with eight diffraction spikes. When knots with sufficient mass form within the pillars, they begin to collapse under their own gravity, slowly heat up, and eventually begin shining brightly. Along the edges of the pillars are wavy lines that look like lava. These are ejections from stars that are still forming. Young stars periodically shoot out jets that can interact within clouds of material, like these thick pillars of gas and dust. This sometimes also results in bow shocks, which can form wavy patterns like a boat does as it moves through water. These young stars are estimated to be only a few hundred thousand years old, and will continue to form for millions of years. Although it may appear that near-infrared light has allowed Webb to “pierce through” the background to reveal great cosmic distances beyond the pillars, the interstellar medium stands in the way, like a drawn curtain. This is also the reason why there are no distant galaxies in this view. This translucent layer of gas blocks our view of the deeper universe. Plus, dust is lit up by the collective light from the packed “party” of stars that have burst free from the pillars. It’s like standing in a well-lit room looking out a window – the interior light reflects on the pane, obscuring the scene outside and, in turn, illuminating the activity at the party inside. Webb’s new view of the Pillars of Creation will help researchers revamp models of star formation. By identifying far more precise star populations, along with the quantities of gas and dust in the region, they will begin to build a clearer understanding of how stars form and burst out of these clouds over millions of years. The Pillars of Creation is a small region within the vast Eagle Nebula, which lies 6,500 light-years away. Webb’s NIRCam was built by a team at the University of Arizona and Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Technology Center.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope made the Pillars of Creation famous with its first image in 1995, but revisited the scene in 2014 to reveal a sharper, wider view in visible light, shown above at left. A new, near-infrared-light view from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, at right, helps us peer through more of the dust in this star-forming region. The thick, dusty brown pillars are no longer as opaque and many more red stars that are still forming come into view. While the pillars of gas and dust seem darker and less penetrable in Hubble’s view, they appear more diaphanous in Webb’s. The background of this Hubble image is like a sunrise, beginning in yellows at the bottom, before transitioning to light green and deeper blues at the top. These colours highlight the thickness of the dust all around the pillars, which obscures many more stars in the overall region. In contrast, the background light in Webb’s image appears in blue hues, which highlights the hydrogen atoms, and reveals an abundance of stars spread across the scene. By penetrating the dusty pillars, Webb also allows us to identify stars that have recently – or are about to – burst free. Near-infrared light can penetrate thick dust clouds, allowing us to learn so much more about this incredible scene. Both views show us what is happening locally. Although Hubble highlights many more thick layers of dust and Webb shows more of the stars, neither shows us the deeper universe. Dust blocks the view in Hubble’s image, but the interstellar medium plays a major role in Webb’s. It acts like thick smoke or fog, preventing us from peering into the deeper universe, where countless galaxies exist. The pillars are a small region within the Eagle Nebula, a vast star-forming region 6,500 light-years from Earth.
