Go-Astronomy provides a comprehensive list of space ports and launch sites. Their motto is - Find. Learn. Share. Repeat. That is what I am doing here.
As part of my research in space related locations, I was looking for space ports. Go-Astronomy had a very nice list of 35 places. The website is divided into seven sections from observing to learning. Each section has at least four sub-sections. All of which are very complete and detailed in subject matter.
The is a companion YouTube channel with over 130 videos. The videos are fairly short, about 3 to 7 minutes each. All appear to be produced in the last two years.
Shaun is an award winning astro-photographer living in the UK. He has had his images published in many magazines and papers.
His website provides a brief biography, an 'All Photos' page with links to more in depth images and a link to his book - "The Light Of Night". Through the 'All Photos' page you can access 13 sections that contain more specific subjects. There are hundreds of space, terestrial and equipment images to explore. You can share an image, a gallery and a slideshow. Information on what his book includes and how to purchase it are included in that section.
In Case You Missed It
Experts on exoplanets met with Northrop Grumman to discuss development of more powerful telescopes and their construction. The result is a new design that uses diffractive lenses to focus incoming light. The new scope ideas can be produced cheaper and are very light weight.
Space-flown Snoopy dolls star in new Schulz Museum exhibit
The Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, California is now hosting a "Snoopy In Orbit" exhibit with space-flown "Peanuts" artifacts. There are 'interactive' aspects to the exhibit as well as the featured dolls. The display will be open through January 14, 2024.

What you find out, dear John, that is uniquely great!
ReplyDeleteIn 3 billion years the Andromeda will be with us, then our sun can refuel hydrogen! LOL
ReplyDeleteDie ESA-Mission is horrible!
ReplyDeleteThe thing with the quantization of the gravity I consider as hair-splitting! And just as one applies the double-slit experiment with light to alleged matter, I consider it as nonsense. The screen is visible only with the help of light. And light arises by electrons. And these electrons are matter. Too bad about the chalk!
