#PPOD: NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover used its Mastcam-Z camera system to shoot video of Phobos, one of Mars’ two moons, eclipsing the Sun. It’s the most zoomed-in, highest-frame-rate observation of a Phobos solar eclipse ever taken from the Martian surface. This image is a still taken from that video, which was shot in April 2022.

This particular brown dwarf’s mass, however, is just at the threshold between being a Jupiter-like #planet and a brown dwarf. It has thus also been called a free-floating, or rogue, planet, not bound to a #star

For #spacetober_challenge day 31 prompt future: “Take the Europa Express, your passport to the Galilean Moons!” 🧪🐡 My linocut is a space travel poster for a future where we all share the citizenship of Earth and can take rapid transport to Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, known as the Galilean Moons (named after Galileo, who first observed them with a telescope). 🧵1/2

#PPOD: During its close flyby of Jupiter’s moon Io on December 30, 2023, NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured some of the most detailed imagery ever of Io’s volcanic surface. In this image, taken by the JunoCam instrument from about 1,500 kilometers above the moon, Io’s night side [left lobe] is illuminated by “Jupitershine,” which is sunlight reflected from the planet’s surface.

From Voyager 2’s smooth blue-green view in 1986 to Webb’s breathtaking 2023 image, our vision of Uranus has transformed. Keck (2002) revealed faint rings, Hubble (2022) showed brighter tones and weather patterns, and Webb unveiled glowing rings and a luminous atmosphere.

Happy birthday to #mathematician, aeronautical #engineer, philanthropist and Cherokee ‘hidden figure’ of the space race: Mary Golda Ross (1908-2008).
Great-great-granddaughter of Chief John Ross, who was forced to lead his people on the Trail of Tears, Ross attributed her success in math to the Cherokee tradition of encouraging equal education for boys and girls.
