Hubble Deep Field
Humanity's Eye on the Universe
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is one of humanity's greatest achievements. Since it was launched into the orbit in 1990, the HST has changed the way we understand the Universe. Hubble has helped scientists determine a more accurate age of the Universe, confirmed the existence of black holes at the center of most galaxies, and discovered planets outside our solar system. It has also provided evidence that the Universe's expansion is in fact accelerating due to a mysterious repulsive force dubbe...

Images From Space
Beautiful Images and Photos from Space
Real images from space, none of these photos are fake. The images and photos on this page are real, none are from movies or artists impressions. I have found real images that have been taken from space of Earth, nebulas, stars clusters and our moon and have put together a collection that I find fascinating and beautiful. Some of these images have been taken with high definition cameras, others are images that have been taken over a period of time and stitched together from real satellite im...

Animals In Space
Two bullfrogs were launched on a one-way mission on the Orbiting Frog Otolith satellite on November 9, 1970, to better understand space motion sickness. The United States launched Bio-satellite I in 1966 and Bio satellite in 1967 with fruit flies, parasitic wasps, flour beetles and frog eggs, along with bacteria, amoebae, plants and fungi.   Animals in space originally only served to test the survivability of spaceflight, before manned space missions were attempted. Later, animals were als...

Robotic space exploration programs
Flying cameras
NASA's successful exploration of space has uncovered vast amounts of new knowledge about the Earth, the solar system and its other planets, and the stellar spaces beyond. To continue gaining new knowledge has required-and will continue to require-new capabilities in onboard processing hardware, system software, and applications such as autonomy. For example, initial robotic space exploration missions functioned, for the most part, as large flying cameras. These instruments have evolved over ...

Project Mercury - First human spaceflight program of the United States
The goals of the program were to orbit a manned spacecraft around Earth, investigate man's ability to function in space and to recover both man and spacecraft safely. Because of their small size, it was said that the Mercury spacecraft were worn, not ridden The program included 20 robotic launches. Not all of these were intended to reach space and not all were successful in completing their objectives. Four of these flights included non-human primates

Space and the Solar System
Space and the universe
This lense is about the world and the universe we live in. I am going to put down all the things I know and have found out about the universe and put it on this lense. Even in Ancient Greek times people have been fascinated with the other worlds that we share a universe with, they even recognised Earth's twin sister planet Venus, they called it the morning star. Enjoy! Feel free to to comment if I'm wrong or if you know more things.
