Farewell, brave steed.

Farewell, brave steed.

This day, five years ago.

RIP the Perseverance Skycrane, giving us one of the most badass sci-fi-like photos in space exploration history.

Carl Sagan unveils the Pale Blue Dot image
YouTube video by The Planetary Society Carl Sagan unveils the Pale Blue Dot image

Today is the 36th anniversary of the pale blue dot picture. Yesterday we did a journal club about a classic Sagan paper and my grad student BP ended by sharing this video. I’d heard the more polished pale blue dot speech so many times but I find this one to be more human

40 years ago today, we lost seven heroes aboard Challenger. As an astronaut who commanded the space shuttle after this tragedy, I think about them often. Their courage pushed the boundaries of exploration. Today, we remember their sacrifice and the legacy they left behind.

Voyager 2 Data Revisited
This image is made from data acquired during Voyager 2's closest approach to Neptune  on August 25, 1989. Visible is the backlit planet viewed from Voyager 2 on its way out of the Solar System after the spacecraft had passed closest approach. The crescent shape of Neptune shows bright cirrus clouds and a dark band encircling the South Pole region, as well as a cyclonic structure at the pole itself, perhaps similar in nature to Saturn's now famous hexagon. Encircling the planet is the very faint ring system and the three bright ring arcs in the Adams ring; LibertΓ©, Γ‰galitΓ© and FraternitΓ©, which were discovered by Voyager 2 during the fly-by.
 
To my knowledge a comprehensive high resolution image of the entire Neptunian system has never been released. However, image data for both the planet itself as well as the ring system and the largest moon Triton, taken within fairly short intervals from similar vantage points, do exist in NASA image archives.
  
To produce the image I scoured the Voyager 2 image data freely available from NASA's Planetary Data System.
I was able to find raw images of a crescent Neptune showing intriguing cloud bands around the South Pole.
No complete image of the ring system exist, but based on available long exposure images of portions of the rings I was able to create a model of the density profile. I then fitted this model around the crescent planet to get a complete view, in accordance with the viewing angle as seen in the...
