Oh fine, go ahead and snicker. The observations are fascinating all the same. They show that Uranus is a complex, dynamic planet with crazy sideways weather.

I look at a lot of space images, but this one made my eyes bug out like a cartoon character.
What you see here isn't a spiral galaxy, exactly. It's a spiral galaxy whose image was bent into a circle by the gravity of an elliptical galaxy visible at the center.
Warped space, right before your eyes!

Ascent (2012) (NASA commentary on a high quality slow motion film of a space shuttle launch)
NASA documentary where a NASA engineer and NASA photographer comment on a very high quality slow motion film of a space shuttle launch, taken in close-up from many different angles. They provide technical insights on each aspect of the launch, including how the shuttle itself works and how it was filmed.
The cameras were run at high speed in order to have slow motion detailed views of everything happening in the launch. This was mainly for engineering purposes to check whether the shuttle was working correctly, but as a side-effect it produced spectacular high quality imagery that forms the basis of this documentary.
The specific shuttle is Discovery, the mission is STS-124 (more info at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-124).

" #Spacex and #NASA are facing a sunk cost fallacy."
"But how did SpaceX get here? Why have they spent billions of dollars of taxpayer money on a concept that has such a fundamental problem?
Simple. #Musk isn’t an engineer and doesn’t understand iterative design, and now SpaceX and NASA are facing a sunk cost fallacy."
