The Storm That Missed Earth – “A Typical CME [coronal Mass Ejection] Travels At About 1 Million Mph

The Storm That Missed Earth – “A typical CME [coronal mass ejection] travels at about 1 million mph [1,609,344 kilometers per hour].

3 … 2 … 1… ALOHA!

Sometimes in space, you have to set your clocks to island time and gather for a good Hawaiian shirt day. In this 2001 #TBT, Expedition Two and STS-100 crew members gather for a group photo with a pre-set digital still camera.

Clockwise from the 12 o'clock point in the circle are Kent V. Rominger, Yuri V. Lonchakov, Yury V. Usachev, Umberto Guidoni, James S. Voss, Jeffrey S. Ashby, Scott E. Parazynski, John L. Phillips and Chris A. Hadfield, with Susan J. Helms at center. Usachev, Helms and Voss are members of three Expedition Two crew, with the other seven serving as the STS-100 crew on the Space Shuttle Endeavour. Usachev and Lonchakov represent Rosaviakosmos; Guidoni is associated with the European Space Agency (ESA); and Hadfield is from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).

This is another photo of the Jupiter Saturn Conjunction! 🪐🪐🪐

The two planets are getting closer each day! I love this picture because you can clearly see Jupiter’s 4 largest moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto) and a nice view of Saturn. This event is very rare - Jupiter and Saturn are the closest since the year 1623! ✨✨✨

Taken by me (Michelle Park) using the Slooh Canary Two telescope on December 20th, 2020 at 19:24 UTC.

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?
