NASA image acquired: March 29, 2011 The first image acquired by MESSENGER from orbit around Mercury was actually part of an eight-image sequence, for which images were acquired through eight of the WAC’s eleven filters. Here we see a color version of that first imaged terrain; in this view the images obtained through the filters with central wavelengths of 1000 nm, 750 nm, and 430 nm are displayed in red, green, and blue, respectively. One of MESSENGER’s measurement objectives is to create an eight-color global base map at a resolution of 1 km/pixel (0.6 miles/pixel) to help understand the variations of composition across Mercury’s surface. On March 17, 2011 (March 18, 2011, UTC), MESSENGER became the first spacecraft ever to orbit the planet Mercury. The mission is currently in its commissioning phase, during which spacecraft and instrument performance are verified through a series of specially designed checkout activities. In the course of the one-year primary mission, the spacecraft's seven scientific instruments and radio science investigation will unravel the history and evolution of the Solar System's innermost planet.

Are you getting tired of me making OCs yet? TOO DAMN BA-

This is Wynona! She's the MC to my current project 'WYNONA'S SUBSPACE' it's still a work in progress but I put a face to the name!!

The images in this gallery are the first amateur images of light echoes from the 19th-century Great Eruption of Eta Carinae. These light echoes have been detected by the Hubble Space Telescope and from large observatories such as the CTIO 4m telescope, but this is the first time that amateur images reveal these transient features. My other first amateur detection of light echoes from supernova SN1987a inspired me to try looking for the fainter echoes near Eta Carinae. What are Light Echoes? Light echoes occur when the initial flash from a bright source, like a supernova, is reflected back to us from a slightly different direction. Dust clouds in interstellar space reflect a portion of the outward-traveling light from the supernova, redirecting it towards Earth. These faint light echoes can be observed decades or centuries after the original flash. Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky, known for his contributions to supernovae, neutron stars, dark matter, and gravitational lenses, predicted the existence of light echoes as early as 1940. Together with Walter Baade, he coined the term 'supernova' in 1934 and proposed that faint echoes of historical supernovae could be visible long after the initial explosion. The Great Eruption was a significant brightening of the star Eta Carinae that occurred in phases during the mid-19th century. The light echoes are produced when the initial flash from the eruption is subsequently reflected off interstellar dust as light travels outward from ...

I'm hoping tomorrow is better for you two, Not sure if it's worth anything but I'm wishing.

The most visually striking feature on Saturn’s icy moon Tethys is Odysseus crater. An enormous impact created the crater, which is about 280 miles (450 kilometers) across, with its ring of steep cliffs and the mountains that rise at its center. Odysseus is on the leading hemisphere of Tethys (1,071 kilometers, or 665 miles across). In this image, north on Tethys is up. This view is a composite of several images taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Aug. 17, 2015, at a distance of about 28,000 miles (44,500 kilometers) from Tethys. The Cassini spacecraft ended its mission on Sept. 15, 2017. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute Read More Read more about Cassini NASA Media Usage Guidelines

Good Job at the adaptation.

Log 1: I'm a tie breaker in our choice to invite our "Stranger." I am to make a decision at the end of the hour.

Noted.

That looks painful. However, It looks like shes enjoying herself.

My hopes for a good day are extended to you!

She likes money. A plausible scenario.

Born too early to even dream about ventures that far. Shame really.

Cassini NAC RGB view taken on 2010-10-16. Much of the moon's sunlit surface was overexposed in the blue filter so the image uses synthetic blue color for most of the disc, except near the terminator. The color of Saturn's cloudtops is shifted towards blue most likely because of the spacecraft tracking the moon during the 3 exposures. Saturn's backdrop was probably shifting from darker regions near the terminator seen through the red filter through to brighter-lit disc seen through the blue filter, during the course of 2 minutes. Distance: 36 000 km Phase angle: 84 deg Magnified 4x for better visibility.

Log 0: It is the morning of October 3rd. My roommates are skittish to the prospect of an invitation for a stranger. Perhaps I should be more hesitant but I feel a sense of superiority due to my un-quick to judge nature.

Nicole. A person somehow less lewd naked? Perhaps the fault dressing like a prostitute has. What a nice drawing to get me thinking.

Both a pelvic and oral charging port are a concept for sure. Interesting.

Root beer. A nostalgic classic from childhood. You and I have similar tastes.
