“FUEL"AND“FIRE”
What do Metallica and NASA's Artemis missions to the
Moon have in common? Both love "Fuel" and fire. See
footage of the Artemis I launch scored by Metallica's
"Fuel."

How_the_Tesla_Model_S_is_Made___Tesla_Motors_Part_1__WIRED_
If founder Elon Musk is right, Tesla Motors just might
reinvent the American auto industry-with specialized
robots building slick electric cars in a factory straight from
the future. That's where the battery-powered Model S is
born.

NASA___Massive_Black_Hole_Shreds_Passing_Star
This artist's rendering illustrates new findings about a star
shredded by a black hole. When a star wanders too close
to a black hole, intense tidal forces rip the star apart. In
these events, called "tidal disruptions," some of the stellar
debris is flung outward at high speed while the rest falls
toward the black hole. This causes a distinct X-ray flare
that can last for a few years. NASA's Chandra X-ray
Observatory, Swift Gamma-ray Burst Explorer, and ESA/
NASA's XMM-Newton collected different pieces of this
astronomical puzzle in a tidal disruption event called
ASASSN-14Ii, which was found in an optical search by the
All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) in
November 2014. The event occurred neara supermassive
black hole estimated to weigh a few million times the
mass of the sun in the center of PGC 043234, a galaxy that
lies about 290 million light-years away. Astronomers hope
to find more events like ASASSN-14li to test theoretical
models about how black holes affect their environments.

Apollo_13_Views_of_the_Moon_in_4K
This video uses data gathered from the Lunar
Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft to recreate some of
the stunning views of the Moon that the Apollo 13
astronauts saw on their perilous journey around the farside
in 1970. These visualizations, in 4K resolution, depict many
different views of the lunar surface, starting with earthset
and sunrise and concluding with the time Apollo 13
reestablished radio contact with Mission Control. Also
depicted is the path of the free return trajectory around the
Moon, and a continuous view of the Moon throughout that
path. All views have been sped up for timing purposes -
they are not shown in "real-time."
