Night-hides-the-world - Night Hides The World

NGC 1999

Just south of the Orion nebula is a dense area of dust and gas forming stars, in fact, the first Herbig-Haro stars were located here, protostars pushing intense beams of matter out at the poles.

The mystery is the black blob in the white region, a reflective nebula from the star V380 Ori, but what is the dark patch ?

Originally it was thought to be a dense dark cloud of dust, hiding the light, however further analysis has found it is indeed a hole, made to look black in contrast to the bright reflective surroundings.

3D Bennu : Put on your red/blue glasses and float next to asteroid 101955 Bennu. Shaped like a spinning toy top with boulders littering its rough surface, the tiny Solar System world is about one Empire State Building (less than 500 meters) across. Frames used to construct this 3D anaglyph were taken by PolyCam on the OSIRIS_REx spacecraft on December 3, 2018 from a distance of about 80 kilometers. With a sample from the asteroid’s rocky surface on board, OSIRIS_REx departed Bennu’s vicinity this May and is now enroute to planet Earth. The robotic spacecraft is scheduled to return the sample to Earth in September 2023. via NASA

Everyone (Even You!) Can Use Satellite Data

At NASA we’re pretty great at putting satellites and science instruments into orbit around Earth. But it turns out we’re also pretty great at showing people how to get and use all that data.

One of the top ways you can learn how to use NASA data is our ARSET program. ARSET is our Applied Remote Sensing Training program and it helps people build skills that integrate all these Earth science data into their decision making.

ARSET will train you on how to use data from a variety of Earth-observing satellites and instruments aboard the International Space Station.

Once you take a training, you’ll be in GREAT company because thousands of people have taken an ARSET training.

We hold in person and online trainings to people around the world, showing them how to use NASA Earth science data. Trainings are offered in air quality, climate, disaster, health, land, water resources and wildfire management.

For example, if you’re trying to track how much fresh drinking water there is in your watershed, you can take an ARSET training and learn how to find satellite data on how much precipitation has fallen over a certain time period or even things like the ‘moistness’ of soil and the quality of the water.

Best yet, all NASA Earth observing data is open and freely available to the whole world! That’s likely one of the reasons we’ve had participants from 172 of the approximately 190 countries on Earth.

Since its beginning 10 years ago, ARSET has trained more than 30 thousand people all over the world. They’ve also worked with people from more than 7,500 different organizations and that includes government agencies, non-profit groups, advocacy organizations, private industry.

And even though 2019 is ARSET’s 10th birthday – we’ve only just begun. Every year about 60% of the organizations and agencies we train are new to the program. We’re training just about anyone who is anyone doing Earth science on Earth! 

Join us, learn more about how we train people to use Earth observing data here, and heck, you can even take a training yourself: https://arset.gsfc.nasa.gov/.

Snaking Filament Eruption by NASA Goddard Photo and Video

Paul McCoubrie - Taken just after the sun had set over the Alpine mountains, this optical phenomenon was a fleeting lovely vision that lasted for a few minutes only. It is caused by the sun below the horizon casting a shadow onto the clouds.

Seriously done with life..

Once again, I got rejected from a job the moment i came into an in person interview which is strange since the person was desperate to see me only to cut the inteview short upon noticing I am not what she thought i was (I’m brown skinned.) 

This has been happening to me for almost 2 years and despite my 10+ years graphic design experience, I guess it’s not enough, i get the fake smile, the awkqard atmosphere and then “Well…we were really looking for someone who is self motivated and creative….” Even though they already saw my portfolio and resume and just had to see me as I would always be the first one to be interviewed. Afterwards I would get the “Well…we’re still interviewing and …we’ll be in touch” Nonsense. ::sigh::

I guess i’m giving up all together…i’ve applied to over 2000+ job applicaitons and I either get job rejections automatically or situations like this when I actually get my foot in the door for an in person inteview. 

Perhaps I wasn’t meant to work for anyone and maybe this is God telling me to focus on Cosmic Funnies as my job.

Whichever it is, I am tired and wanting to give up on life. I work so hard and I feel like i’m getting nowhere.

I don’t emjoy asking for help but sadly I have no choice but to humble myself and ask for help since this world is so cruel that sometimes I just want to off myself. I’m seriously tired of living. 

Thanks for your support….and have a great day.
