Hubble Measures the Distance to a Supernova
Measuring the distance to truly remote objects like galaxies, quasars, and galaxy clusters is a crucial task in astrophysics, particularly when it comes to studying the early universe, but its a difficult one to complete. We can only measure the distances to a few nearby objects like the Sun, planets, and some nearby stars directly. . https://science.nasa.gov/m...#nasa #space #news #nasa_astrophysics #nasa_galaxies #nasa_missions #nasa_spiral_galaxies #nasa_stars #nasa_supernovae #nasa_the_universe #nasa_astronauts #nasa_former_astronauts #nasa_nasa_history #nasa_skylab #nasa_artemis #nasa_artemis_2 #nasa_humans_in_space #nasa_kennedy_space_center #nasa_galaxy_clusters #nasa_nebulae #nasa_analog_field_testing #nasa_johnson_space_center #nasa_kjell_n ._lindgren #nasa_dark_matter #nasa_general

45 Years Ago: Skylab Reenters Earth’s Atmosphere
A few days before they left Skylab on Feb. 8, 1974, the final crew to occupy the station raised its altitude, hoping to keep it in orbit until a future space shuttle could revisit it. But higher than predicted solar activity caused the Earths atmosphere to expand, increasing drag on the large vehicle, causing its 8230;. https://www.nasa.gov/histo...#nasa #space #news #nasa_astronauts #nasa_former_astronauts #nasa_nasa_history #nasa_skylab #nasa_artemis #nasa_artemis_2 #nasa_humans_in_space #nasa_kennedy_space_center #nasa_astrophysics #nasa_galaxies #nasa_galaxy_clusters #nasa_nebulae #nasa_the_universe #nasa_missions #nasa_analog_field_testing #nasa_johnson_space_center #nasa_kjell_n ._lindgren #nasa_dark_matter #nasa_general #nasa_organizations

Electrical and Mechanical Technician Clifton Brown
We have a group photo of my first project here, ASTRO-H, and that one means a lot to me because I came to that NASA project fresh off the street. I was super scared and intimidated.
