“The move by Nasa is particularly notable because the creation of the Artemis program, and decision to land the first woman and person of color on the moon, were made in 2019 during the first Trump administration, according to the science journal Ars Technica.”

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe will make its 23rd close approach of the Sun tomorrow March 22, 2025 at 22:42 UTC.

At perihelion, it will be at a distance of just 6.1 million km from the solar surface, traveling at a speed of 692,000 km/h, matching its previous record set during perihelion 22 on Dec 24, 2024.

For comparison, the perihelion of planet Mercury is at 45.3 mil km.

Hadn't had enough of spherules already?

Of course you saw them first here, right as it was happening (😊 #bragging).

But here's what the #Mars2020 mission team have to say, at this time:

"Last week the #Perseverance Science Team were astonished by a strange rock comprised of hundreds of millimeter-sized spheres… and the team are now working hard to understand their origin."

The distance is about 2.5m away from the camera, just to the right of the right front wheel of the rover. What exactly is that we see here? Spherules with holes? 😮 🧐 🤔 Processed SUPERCAM_RMI looking N from RMC 69.2124 Sol 1442, LMST: 11:06:22 Original: https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020-raw-images/pub/ods/surface/sol/01442/ids/edr/browse/scam/LRF_1442_0794948148_231EBY_N0692124SCAM01442_0100I6J01.png Credit: #NASA/JPL-Caltech/LANL/CNES/IRAP/65dBnoise #Mars2020 #Solarocks #Space

#NASA drops plan to land first woman and first person of color on the moon

Promise was central plank to space agency’s Artemis program, which is scheduled to return humans to the lunar surface in 2027

(The jewel of the USA, its best ambassador to the world, NASA, is facing the oligarchic abyss. One thing is certain though: so called "space economy" which lines the pockets of the super rich with taxpayer money, will go on no matter what.)
