I’m glad there’s water. We need that!

I really want to see the tool they developed to do this.

Edit: This NASA blog page has some images and more details of the tools themselves

Are those… Philips screws? Looks like maybe two dots indicating JIS (shallower angle, less cam-out, and #1 cause of stripped screws on Japanese motorcycles) but I’d really like to know why a hex or torx screw wasn’t used

Bears_Koolaid, 6 miesięcy temu

I was curious about that too. They look like Torq-set to me, being that the slots are offset from the center of the screw. If that’s the case they’re shouldn’t be any cam out at all.

In either case the fasteners that were stuck appear to be Hex head, and the phillips looking fasteners just held a protective cover in place (?)

I would imagine NASA would know better than to use Philips for anything lol.

By the way there is a link on the page to more images of the assembly

Now, is it really those colors is that just science stuff like all those dope pictures of nebulas?

Poor thing looks bruised. Who hit you?!

This is absolutely gorgeous. I love photos like this :)

Thanks for sharing this!

Gradually_Adjusting, 29 dni temu (edited 26 dni temu) w Voyager 1 is fully back online months after it stopped making sense.

I would like NASA to try to fix me now. I too am a socially isolated remote worker who occasionally says insane things

Edit: Guys, all of a sudden I feel different

I found several of the ideas in this article lacked sufficient explanation, if there even was any, for laypeople to understand.

Zachariah, miesiąc temu w NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Finds Most Distant Known Galaxy

Over the last two years, scientists have used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (also called Webb or JWST) to explore what astronomers refer to as Cosmic Dawn – the period in the first few hundred million years after the big bang where the first galaxies were born. These galaxies provide vital insight into the ways in which the gas, stars, and black holes were changing when the universe was very young. In October 2023 and January 2024, an international team of astronomers used Webb to observe galaxies as part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) program. Using Webb’s NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph), they obtained a spectrum of a record-breaking galaxy observed only two hundred and ninety million years after the big bang. This corresponds to a redshift of about 14, which is a measure of how much a galaxy’s light is stretched by the expansion of the universe

Not true at all, there were plenty of trains built on the Earth. The one on the moon will be far from the first.

They really expect us to believe this shit!? Those are definitely large alien spiders that are coming to the surface to mate and multiply as they prepare to attack Earth. I need to join up with United Citizen Federation, quick. I suggest you all do the same…

TLDR: It’s gas deposits, not Martian spiders… yet.
