Una aurora boreale vista dall’alto, fotografata dalla ISS il 29 maggio scorso. Cliccare l’immagine per ingrandire. Astronauts onboard the International Space Station found out on May 29th when they flew through a geomagnetic storm and witnessed this green ribbon snaking over the Indian Ocean.

A good site of “sounds of space” collected by U Iowa instruments on various spacecraft. Here you can find many sounds “recorded” (remember that this are radio frequencies not audio frequencies) by Cassini, Voyagers and Galileo spacecrafts during the Jupiter and Saturn missions. The site is Space Audio. Here you […]
Google celebra i 20 anni del telescopio spaziale Hubble includendone l’immagine nel proprio logo arricchito dai link ad alcune fra le più belle immagini scattate dell’HST, visibili in Google Sky. Lanciato il 24 Aprile 1990, l’Hubble Space Telescope, che deve il suo nome all’astronomo americano E. Hubble che scoprì l’espansione […]
Another fascinating recording of space sounds captured by a NASA spacecraft. This time it’s Jupiter sounds (electromagnetic “voices”) recorded by the Voyager. The complex interactions of charged electromagnetic particles from the solar wind , planetary magnetosphere etc. create vibration “soundscapes”. Jupiter is mostly composed of hydrogen and helium. The entire […]
Since its discovery in 1930, Pluto has been a speck of light in the largest ground-based telescopes. But NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has now mapped the dwarf planet in never-before-seen detail. The new map is so good, astronomers have even been able to detect changes on the dwarf planet’s surface […]
Some years ago, the japanese Kaguya spacecraft orbited the moon with a HD camera onboard and take this movie. The colors of the Earth rising above the horizon suggest our planet is a beautiful place to see from far away. Sorry for the music and the comments. from: Open Culture […]
The Known Universe takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible because of the world’s most complete four-dimensional map of the universe, the Digital Universe Atlas […]
The huge NASA Image Archive is now online thanks to the Internet Archive. The site nasaimages.org is divided into five sections: Universe, Solar System, Earth, Aeronautics, and Astronauts, but the content is also indexed by a nice timeline. Potrebbero interessarti anche: L’arte della Terra
From the NASA site, last news about the Cassini mission. An aurora, shining high above the northern part of Saturn, moves from the night side to the day side of the planet in this movie (QuickTime, no audio, 9 MB) recorded by Cassini. These observations, taken over four days, represent […]
In the August and September 1977, two Voyager spacecraft were launched to fly by and explore the great gaseous planets of Jupiter and Saturn. Voyager I, after successful encounters with the two, was sent out of the plane of the ecliptic to investigate interstellar space. Voyager II’s charter later came […]
