What was the purpose of Skylab? Did the government shut down NASA? How is powdered aluminum used on the space shuttle? Why did Obama cancel the space program? Why was winning the space race so important to both the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.?
Why was Alan Shepard the first American in space? How old was Yuri Gagarin when he went into space? How does Skylab differ from the space shuttle? How does the International Space Station stay in orbit? What happened during the space race? What company built the space shuttle? What space ...
Spacecraft in orbit around planets, however, need to be carefully disposed of. When theCassini mission to Saturn came to an end, it was dramatically plunged into the planet’s atmosphere, or deorbited, so that it would deliberately break up and be destroyed. That ensured there was no chanc...
so that what any Northern tier American experiences, we also experience. It reached35° Cfor two days here in Montreal (June19-20) which was unheard of two decades ago. Milky bright nights are the norm now in summer, eagerly awaiting for September, when the nights finally return to "norma...

NASA’s Skylab programme marked the beginning of space biology in the early 1970s, testing the effects of zero gravity on human embryonic lung cells under microgravity. The equipment they used was called Woodlawn Wanderer Nine and can be considered as the first bioreactor in space, where cell ...
At about the same time, this theme was taken up by the mathematical physicist Hannes Alfven, in great experimental and theoretical detail as described below. HANNES ALFVEN The nature and importance of “the fourth state of matter”, and specifically of matter in an electrically charged state, ha...
Where did Skylab crash? What caused the Tunguska event? What are the space shuttle heat shields made of? When was the Challenger space shuttle built? What happened to Skylab? How is powdered aluminum used on the space shuttle? What caused the first Hubble Space Telescope picture to be disappo...
vs the 1,150mm Newt (with the coma corrector); APS-C sized camera sensors; just under 2hrs of integration. Same mount and processing software. The camera made all the difference in being able to see the nebula itself, but the scope was responsible for the lack of "fur" on the stars....
I could go on and on. My point is that there was not one point last night where I was frustrated by viewing comfort, or wishing the stars were a little sharper. I just enjoyed the incredible high contrast, pinpoint sharp views. At no point did I wish I had also brought out the 10...
