Ride on the Middeck
On June 18, 1983, Sally Ride made history, becoming the first American woman to go space. In this image, Ride stands on Challenger’s middeck, wearing light blue flight coveralls and communications headset, as she floats alongside the middeck airlock hatch.

Dr. Ride died today after a 17-month battle with pancreatic cancer.
Godspeed.

Possibly my favorite astronomical view… taken with the Discovery Channel Telescope at Lowell Observatory.

The Discovery Channel Telescope at Lowell Observatory, near Flagstaff, Ariz., is complete and has begun observing the cosmos with its 16-million-pixel camera. This camera is a close relative to the NSF-funded 36-million-pixel Large Monolithic Imager (LMI) that is now undergoing advanced testing and will soon be the primary imager for the DCT.

See all the epic First Light images!

This Picture’s an assembly of 5 identical images in RAW mode for 30seconds, ISO400, 18mm taken Early in the Night of July, and the result of a Composition using software.. The Constellation of the Lyre is “small” but contains Stars visible, especially Vega, part of the “Three Beautiful Summer”. Lyra is an ancient Constellation. Ancient civilizations in the Middle East and India saw a vulture. The Greek astronomers saw a Lyre and star charts represent the oldest generally held in the claws of a vulture. In the form of a vulture, this Constellation is to hook the Legend of Hercules, for his work 6th, killed the birds of Stymphalian. The constellation is also close to the Swan and the Eagle. The Lyre for its part would represent the Musical instrument of Orpheus. #space #rachelsladder @marissakaiser (Taken with Instagram)
