A four-day trip to lunar orbit now begins for @NASA_Orion, assisted by the European Service Module, during the so-called "outbound coasting phase." Teams in Europe will advise on propulsion to correct trajectory as needed. #ForwardToTheMoon #infographics
Whoa, fertile ground for some sort of statics/equilibrium problem with the vertical friction on each side of the hook.

This is pretty cool—it's an animation of five images of Iapetus captured by @CassiniSaturn on November 15, 2005 with gradually longer exposure times ranging from 18 to 100 seconds. The background stars streak longer, and the night side brightens with reflected ringshine.
This #desmos hasn't been polished yet, but I'm interested in feedback about the design, if anything is broken for certain slider values, what other features ppl might like to see incorporated into it, etc.. It's a simulation for a car on a banked turn: desmos.com/calculator/xfs…
Artemis is rescheduled to launch on its journey to the Moon on Wednesday, Nov 16. This trajectory is slightly different than the previous ones. The lunar flyby that aims it back to Earth happens closer to lunar apogee.
Wow: The black and white chess pieces are actually the same color. A great example of the fact that we don't directly perceive the color of objects; our perceptual systems make an educated "guess" based on the objects' surroundings. nature.com/articles/natur…
Twinkle twinkle little star... I recorded a real-time video of the Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, out of focus so that we can see it twinkling. It's caused by Earth's atmosphere refracting the different colours of incoming starlight into different directions

@bigsillychinook @a_freeparticle Drivers complained about the Chaparral 2J too. It blew dirt and debris behind it. Jim hall told them "Well, why don't you pass me then?" They couldn't because the fans created a low pressure under the car, increasing the normal force and friction, allowing it to take fast turns.
@bigsillychinook @a_freeparticle Here is a video of a Chaparral 2J in operation at a classic car show:
@bigsillychinook @a_freeparticle Liked the physics and the shout out to Colonel John Stapp, but this was a reckless move. The wall and the car are not designed to work this way. He, and the drivers he endangered, got lucky. This is how to engineer a car to take turns fast: hotcars.com/chaparral-2j-s…

Why are plants green? To reduce the noise in photosynthesis. Plants ignore the most energy-rich part of sunlight because stability matters more than efficiency, according to a recent model of photosynthesis [read more: buff.ly/2P8ynVs]
