Cool stuff

Check out this really great rare 1960s documentary (10-min) about @NASA engineers involvement in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY 

(hat tip to OnePerfectShot for finding this)

The cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the cosmos stir us - there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries.

Dorothy Metcalf-Lindenburger was the first (fellow) graduate of Space Camp in Huntsville, AL to fly in space.  She flew aboard Discovery on STS-131.

SCIENCE IS COMING.

In honor of the release of Game of Thrones Season 6 today, check out these amazing House designs made by students from the Albert Einstein Institute. Each Game of Thrones inspired sigil celebrates a different changing project in physics and space exploration. 

House Hubble - Hubble Space Telescope

House ISS - International Space Station

House ITER - Nuclear Fusion Project 

House LHC - Large Hadron Collider

House Curiosity - Mars Science Laboratory

House LISA - Laser Interferometer Space Antenna

House JWST - James Webb Space Telescope

House VLA - Very Large Array

I’m super torn because while I’m #teamradioforever, I’m also a lifelong #hubblehugger. I guess if I’m forced to chose, it might have to be House VLA.

I officially bow down to the artists working at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Also, thanks to NASA for recognizing and celebrating the power of art like this. 

These STUNNING posters can all be downloaded directly from JPL (in hi-res). And their mere existence is reason enough for a new Wednesday theme: World Tour Wednesday. 

Stay tuned for some more awesome posters that are out of this world* and worth touring
