NASA Astronauts Taking Spacewalk at ISS. Watch Happy End Full Movie. On Friday, Oct. 2.
NASA astronauts Randy Bresknik and Joe Acaba will venture outside the International Space Station on the third of three spacewalks aimed at upgrading the orbiting laboratory. You can watch the spacewalk live here, beginning at 6: 3. EDT (1. 03. 0 GMT), with the astronauts expected to exit the spsace station by 8: 0. EDT (1. 20. 5 GMT). Preview: Space Station Astronauts Are Taking a Spacewalk Today: Watch It Live. From NASA. "The spacewalk was originally set for Wednesday before mission managers replanned a new set of tasks due to a camera light failure.
Bresnik and Acaba will now replace the camera light assembly on the Canadarm. Latching End Effector and install an HD camera on the starboard truss. The duo will also replace a fuse on Dextre’s payload platform and remove thermal insulation on two electrical spare parts housed on stowage platforms."Replay: NASA Hubble Space Telescope Facebook Live. Tonight on NASA's Facebook page, the space agency will stream a Facebook Live stream to showcase the Hubble Space Telescope's amazing photos of Messier objects, celestial objects of dazzling beauty. New Hubble Gallery Reveals Glittering Messier Objects.
Earlier today, NASA unveiled a new Flickr album of Hubble's most amazing images of Messier objects over the years. From NASA. The Messier catalog includes some of the most fascinating astronomical objects that can be observed from Earth’s Northern Hemisphere. Among them are deep- sky objects that can be viewed in stunning detail using larger telescopes but are also bright enough to be seen through a small telescope. This characteristic makes Messier objects extremely popular targets for amateur astronomers possessing all levels of experience and equipment. They are so popular, in fact, that they have inspired a special award from the Astronomical League (an organization for amateur astronomers) given to observers who are able to spot each of these objects. Those who succeed receive a certificate and are given the distinction of being in the Messier Club.
On Wednesday, Facebook announced the rollout of Watch, what it is calling “a new platform for shows on Facebook.” It’s yet another foray by the social media. TREE COVER LOSS OUTSIDE OF PLANTATIONS. Forest change data sets on Global Forest Watch show loss in total tree cover, which may include both planted and natural forests. LATEST HEADLINES.

While the Hubble Space Telescope has not produced images of every object in the Messier catalog, it has observed 9. Watch Rest Stop Online Ibtimes. August 2. 01. 7. Some of Hubble's photographs offer views of a given object in its entirety, but many focus on specific areas of interest. While Hubble is able to magnify objects very effectively, it has a relatively small field of view. This means that, in some cases, Hubble would need to take many exposures to capture an entire object.
Although this is not always an efficient use of its time, as is the case for the widely spaced “open” star clusters in the Messier catalog, many exposures are taken when the scientific value justifies the time spent. One of these objects is the Andromeda galaxy (designated M3. Messier’s catalog). In order to create a mosaic image that depicts almost half of Andromeda, Hubble has taken nearly 7,4.
