I suddenly felt to see what is the Voyager 1 latest location
I quickly checked the co-ordinates and entered them in the planetary software
I know there is nothing to see.
Voyager 1 is so small and so deep in the space FLYING ALL ALONE.
I checked on NASA's Voyager 1 tracking site.
I see our solar system.
I see our Earth.
I zoomed out further.
I see Jupiter
I see Voyager 2.
I zoomed out further.
There it is!! Our Voyager 1
It is flying all alone so far from our solar system.
Heading into deep interstellar space

Professor Kip Thorne is a theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate. In this talk he discusses "My Romance with the Warped Side of the Universe: from Black Holes and Wormholes to Time Travel and Gravitational Waves".
Kip is a world-leading expert on the implications of Einstein's theory of General Relativity, from time travel to wormholes, and from black holes to gravitational waves. Until 2009 he was the Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech, but has since retired to take up a new career in writing, and collaborations between science and art. He was executive producer and scientific adviser on Interstellar, the 2014 blockbuster film. One of Kip's key contributions was the visualisation of black holes and their surroundings, which contributed to the film winning an Oscar for "Best Visual Effects". Kip explained the science in the film in his 2014 book The Science of Interstellar. His many other multimedia projects have cemented his reputation to be able to explain complex concepts in ways that everyone can understand.
As one of the founders of LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory), Kip was awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics for "decisive contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves, along with Rainer Weiss and Barry C. Barish. The first detection of gravitational waves by LIGO (of which Cardiff University is a member) in 2015 confirmed a key part of Einstein's theory of General Relativity, and observations have continued to test one of science's most famous theories.

Opposition for Mars will fall at 6 UTC on December 8, 2022.
Mars will be closest to Earth on December 1, 2022 (2 UTC). At its closest, Mars will be 4.5 light-minutes from Earth.
In opposition, Mars’ constellation is Taurus the Bull.
Its opposition brightness is magnitude -1.9 (maximum brightness for 2022). Although Mars is brighter than all the stars, it still won’t be as bright as Venus or Jupiter.
Through a telescope, at opposition, Mars will appear 17.01 arcseconds across. Significant features on Mars will show surface coloration, plus Mars’ white polar cap will be visible.
Note: Opposition marks the middle of the best time to see an outer planet. So start watching Mars now! The red world reaches opposition only about every 26 months. At opposition – as Earth flies between Mars and the sun, placing Mars opposite the sun in our sky – it’ll rise in the east at sunset, reach its highest point around midnight, and set at dawn.

As they travel outward these blasts of light can bounce off clouds of gas and dust in space.
A new sonification turns these “light echoes” from the black hole V404 Cygni into sound.
Each star in optical light triggers a musical note. The volume and pitch of the note are determined by the brightness of the star.

It happens every years but only for 4 days. Uranus is 1.8 billion miles for the Earth
The moons you are seeing are Ariel and Umbriel.
Here are the closeup shots of the Moon. We are watching moon at 7800 mm
Focal length. Even with this focal length we cannot see flag on the Moon.
We need a Earth size telescope for that.
Here is Mars 4th planet from the sun. Mars is 54 million miles for the Earth. We have our
Spacerovers and helicopters running right now on this Mars. Mars is a red planet.
Here is the Saturn 6th planet for the sun. Saturn is 914 million miles from Earth. Remember the Uranus
That we say earlier – Uranus is twice as far from the Earth than Saturn at 1.8 billion miles
Here is the Jupiter king of all the planets in size. Jupiter is 5th planet form the Sun.
Jupiter is a gas giant. Without Jupiter and Saturn helping deflect all the asteroids and comets
We would be on this Earth.
I was showing these live on my channel. One of the subscribers wanted to see Neptune.
Neptune is 8th planet from the Sun. Neptune is 2.7 billion miles form the Sun.
Thanks for watching.

Once watching live Uranus, I went to check the Moon and closeups of Moon, then to Mars, and then to Saturn and Neptune. We also viewed most of the moons of these planets.
November 9 - Uranus at Opposition. It was cloudy yesterday; today is still a pretty good time to watch. Hope it won't stay cloudy tonight too.
The blue-green planet will be at its closest approach to Earth, and its face will be fully illuminated by the Sun. It will be brighter than any other time of the year and will be visible all night long. This is the best time to view Uranus. Due to its distance will only appear as a tiny blue-green dot in all but the most powerful telescopes.

In the "Pillars of Creation" piece, the sounds are generated by moving horizontally across the image from left to right as seen in both optical and X-ray light. As with the Galactic Center's sonification, the recorded light's vertical position controls the pitch, but in this case, it varies over a continuous range of pitches. Particular attention is paid to the structure of the pillars which can be heard as sweeps from low to high pitches and back. The two different "melodies" of optical and X-ray light can be enjoyed individually or simultaneously.

Sun is so big, you can put 1000 Jupiters inside the Sun
That much of Hydrogen in the sun creates enormous amounts of gravity in the core of the Sun
Crushing pressure in the core pushes the one Hydrogen Atom to combine into Another Hydrogen Atom
Two Hydrogen Atoms becomes an Helium Atom which emits Hydrogen Fusion energy
Nuclear energy is a million times powerful than conventional energy. Hydrogen fusion is 4 times more powerful than nuclear energy.
This Hydrogen energy keep you and me to live on this planet Earth!

“All of us have a responsibility to protect our home planet. After all, it’s the only one we have,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. “This mission shows that NASA is trying to be ready for whatever the universe throws at us. NASA has proven we are serious as a defender of the planet. This is a watershed moment for planetary defense and all of humanity, demonstrating commitment from NASA's exceptional team and partners from around the world.”
Prior to DART’s impact, it took Dimorphos 11 hours and 55 minutes to orbit its larger parent asteroid, Didymos. Since DART’s intentional collision with Dimorphos on Sept. 26, astronomers have been using telescopes on Earth to measure how much that time has changed. Now, the investigation team has confirmed the spacecraft’s impact altered Dimorphos’ orbit around Didymos by 32 minutes, shortening the 11 hour and 55-minute orbit to 11 hours and 23 minutes. This measurement has a margin of uncertainty of approximately plus or minus 2 minutes.
Before its encounter, NASA had defined a minimum successful orbit period change of Dimorphos as change of 73 seconds or more. This early data show DART surpassed this minimum benchmark by more than 25 times.

It might become what we call as a Red Giant
In about 5 billion years it may explode into a planetary nebula
This is a similar explosion that made this Dumbbell Nebula
1360 Light years away this M27 is visible with binoculars
#sun #life #endgame
#moon #planets #live
The Dumbbell Nebula (also known as Messier 27, and NGC 6853) is a planetary nebula in the constellation Vulpecula, at a distance of about 1360 light-years. At its brightness of visual magnitude 7.5 and diameter of about 8 arcminutes, it is easily visible in binoculars and is a popular observing target in amateur telescopes.
All planetary nebulae form at the end of the life of a star of intermediate mass, about 1-8 solar masses. It is expected that the Sun will form a planetary nebula at the end of its life cycle.

After releasing the sample capsule, the main OSIRIS-REx spacecraft will have completed its primary mission. The mission was officially extended in April 2022.
With a new name to reflect the extended mission’s new goals, OSIRIS-APEX (OSIRIS-APophis EXplorer) will explore Apophis, an asteroid roughly 1,200 feet (roughly 370 meters) in diameter that will come within 20,000 miles (32,000 kilometers) of Earth in 2029. OSIRIS-APEX will enter orbit around Apophis soon after the asteroid’s Earth flyby, providing an unprecedented close-up look at this S-type asteroid. It plans to study changes in the asteroid caused by its close flyby of Earth and use the spacecraft’s gas thrusters to attempt to dislodge and study the dust and small rocks on and below Apophis’ surface.

Designed to be an early-warning system for near-Earth asteroids approaching Earth, ATLAS scans the entire sky several times a night. Its view of the impact shows the effects in breathtaking detail. At least two separate plumes are visible: one, crescent-shaped, spreads out in the direction opposite to the impact, while another, fainter one jets at an angle behind Didymos’ apparent motion across the sky. ESA’s Le Makes Observatory in Le Reunion obtained one view of the expanding crescent, but the best images so far came from the Hawai`i-based ATLAS (the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System).
Observations from Webb and Hubble together will allow scientists to gain knowledge about the nature of the surface of Dimorphos, how much material was ejected by the collision, and how fast it was ejected. Additionally, Webb and Hubble captured the impact in different wavelengths of light – Webb in infrared and Hubble in visible. Observing the impact across a wide array of wavelengths will reveal the distribution of particle sizes in the expanding dust cloud, helping to determine whether it threw off lots of big chunks or mostly fine dust. Combining this information, along with ground-based telescope observations, will help scientists to understand how effectively a kinetic impact can modify an asteroid’s orbit.

Animation of of Didymos-Dimorphos asteroid system after DART impact. This red-hued view from JWST shows a bright center and darker streaks radiating from it. Faint wisps appear to flow outward from the center over the course of the animation.
This animation, a timelapse of images from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, covers the time spanning just before impact at 7:14 p.m. EDT, Sept. 26, through 5 hours post-impact. Plumes of material from a compact core appear as wisps streaming away from where the impact took place. An area of rapid, extreme brightening is also visible in the animation.

Two of NASA’s Great Observatories, the James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope, have captured views of a unique NASA experiment designed to intentionally smash a spacecraft into a small asteroid in the world’s first-ever in-space test for planetary defense. These observations of NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) impact mark the first time that Webb and Hubble simultaneously observed the same celestial target.
On Sept. 26, 2022, at 7:14 pm EDT, DART intentionally crashed into Dimorphos, the asteroid moonlet in the double-asteroid system of Didymos. It was the world’s first test of the kinetic impact mitigation technique, using a spacecraft to deflect an asteroid that poses no threat to Earth, and modifying the object’s orbit. DART is a test for defending Earth against potential asteroid or comet hazards.
The coordinated Hubble and Webb observations are more than just an operational milestone for each telescope – there are also key science questions relating to the makeup and history of our solar system that researchers can explore when combining the capabilities of these observatories.
“Webb and Hubble show what we’ve always known to be true at NASA: We learn more when we work together,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. “For the first time, Webb and Hubble have simultaneously captured imagery from the same target in the cosmos: an asteroid that was impacted by a spacecraft after a seven-million-mile journey. All of humanity eagerly awaits the discoveries to come from Webb, Hubble, and our ground-based telescopes – about the DART mission and beyond.”
Observations from Webb and Hubble together will allow scientists to gain knowledge about the nature of the surface of Dimorphos, how much material was ejected by the collision, and how fast it was ejected. Additionally, Webb and Hubble captured the impact in different wavelengths of light – Webb in infrared and Hubble in visible. Observing the impact across a wide array of wavelengths will reveal the distribution of particle sizes in the expanding dust cloud, helping to determine whether it threw off lots of big chunks or mostly fine dust.

Jupiter is a gas giant made of Hydrogen and Helium Gas. Since it is a gas planet, it is like landing a cloud. There is no crust anywhere, just the cosmic gases. Since it is hollow if we fall, we come on the other side? Metallic Hydrogen in the core won’t let you escape to come out on any side. Once we fall into Jupiter there is no way out!!

After 10 months flying in space, NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) – the world’s first planetary defense technology demonstration – successfully impacted its asteroid target Dimorphos on Monday, Sept. 26, 2022, the agency’s first attempt to move an asteroid in space. During the spacecraft’s final moments before impact, its Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical navigation (DRACO) imager took four images capturing its terminal approach as Dimorphos increasingly fills the field of view.

The giant planet will be at its closest approach to Earth and its face will be fully illuminated by the Sun. It will be brighter than any other time of the year and will be visible all night long. This is the best time to view and photograph Jupiter and its moons. A medium-sized telescope should be able to show you some of the details in Jupiter's cloud bands. A good pair of binoculars should allow you to see Jupiter's four largest moons, appearing as bright dots on either side of the planet
On Sunday, September 25th, 2022, Jupiter will reach its closest distance to Earth in 59 years at around 367 million miles. On Monday, the gas giant will reach opposition, meaning it will appear opposite the sun to those on Earth. Jupiter will rise in the east while the sun sets in the west.
