Hubble Spots Billowing Bubbles of Stellar Floss
A bubbling region of stars both old and new lies some 160,000 light-years away in the constellation Dorado. This complex cluster of emission nebulae is known as N11, and was discovered by American astronomer and NASA astronaut Karl Gordon Henize in 1956. NASAs Hubble Space Telescope brings a new image of the cluster in the . https://science.nasa.gov/m...#nasa #space #news #nasa_astrophysics #nasa_nebulae #nasa_stars #nasa_the_universe #nasa_aeronautics #nasa_nasa_aircraft #nasa_people_of_nasa #nasa_women_at_nasa #nasa_johnson_space_center #nasa_general #nasa_climate_change #nasa_earth #nasa_earth_science #nasa_greenhouse_gases #nasa_artemis_2 #nasa_kennedy_space_center #nasa_humans_in_space

Orville Wright and National Aviation Day
Orville Wright wasnt sure exactly how long his first flight lasted. He and his brother, Wilbur, think it was about 12 seconds, but according to what Orville wrote in his diary of that December day in 1903 at Kill Devil Hills, N.C., the time is not known exactly as watch was not promptly stopped.
