Esse é o Objeto de Hoag, uma galáxia curiosa do tipo anelar: seu núcleo é rodeado por um anel de estrelas, gás e poeira. Sua origem é um mistério, pois galáxias anelares são formadas quando uma galáxia atravessa a outra. Nesse caso não há nenhuma galáxia nas imediações que possa ter feito isso. . This is the Hoag’s Object, a curious galaxy in the the shape of a ring: its nucleus is surrounded by a ring of stars, gas and dust. Its origins remains a mystery, as other ring galaxies are formed when one galaxy passes through another galaxy. In this case, there is no candidate for the bullet galaxy in the vicinity. .

“I felt I was an accepted team member. It was a great experience and a unique opportunity.”
Ruth Ann Strunk, a math major, was hired in 1968 at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center as an acceptance checkout equipment software engineer. She monitored the work of contractors who wrote the computer programs designed to check out the command module, lunar module and the Apollo J mission experiments. These experiments were conducted aboard the service modules on Apollo 15, 16 and 17 by the command module pilots.
“I am proud of the advancement and the number of women who are working and enjoy working here,” Strunk said. “It was a wonderful opportunity NASA afforded me during Apollo that I have been able to use ever since.”
Remember the women who made #Apollo50th possible.
