Day 351, Entertaining.

 

Day 351, Entertaining. So a couple of months ago I picked up the Nasa equine team hitch hiking their way to the shuttle, now that was an epic road trip we had. Well last night I got a call from the middle of nowhere saying that they had enough of floating in space and want a proper cup of tea. A few hours later I pick them up and we end up in this tiny all night dinner on karaoke night, turns out horses cannot sing, but what they lack in talent they make up for in effort. Anyhow we finally get back here just after three in the morning and someone suggests getting out the SpongeBob Monopoly set, and so this is where you still find us, no sleep had but many laughts, something tells me it is going to be another all nighter. Either that or i spend too much time on my own and end up doing a mass of multiple exposures, but I prefer the original story. #black #white #monochrome #cy365 #365 #365photochallenge #photoaday #blackandwhitephotography #humour #funny #portrait #portraiture #horses #nasa #multipleexposures #monopoly #horseheadmask #game #spacesuit #equine #entertainment #spongebob #creepy #masks #edititorial #emotive #blackandwhite #awesomeness #bright #whimsical by loubeyjane

In 2006, #NASA attached ARCADE

 

In 2006, #NASA attached ARCADE (Absolute Radiometer for Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Diffuse Emission) to a giant, tethered #balloon and let it up into #space. They were looking for ARCADE to pick up faint #radio signals and early #heat traces from distant #stars. Instead, #scientists heard something they described as a “#boom.” This became known as the “space #roar.” This sound was six times stronger than any #noise they were predicting. Researchers soon determined that the radio emissions of the “space boom” were not from distant stars, but still cannot figure out exactly what caused this intense boom. by curiositydotcom

Phytoplankton Bloom in the North Atlantic

Phytoplankton Bloom in the North Atlantic On Sept. 23, 2015, the weather was adequate for the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi NPP satellite to acquire this view of a phytoplankton bloom in the North Atlantic. The image was composed with data from the red, green, and blue bands from VIIRS, in addition to chlorophyll data. via NASA http://ift.tt/1jQCdAm

Venus From the International Space Station

Venus From the International Space Station On Dec. 5, 2015, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Kimiya Yui captured this image from the International Space Station of the planet Venus. Part of the station’s Kibo laboratory is visible at the top of the frame. At the time this photograph was taken, Japan’s Akatsuki spacecraft, a Venus climate orbiter, was nearing the planet. via NASA http://ift.tt/1HV7i1m
