Hey Space Placers!
Look at the first image taken by NASA's new exoplanet hunter - TESS.
I LOVE the first light image that shows the Large Magellanic Cloud! One of my fave places in the sky and Universe........
Learn more about TESS......
I look forward to the worlds that TESS will discover......

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) took this snapshot of the Large Magellanic Cloud (right) and the bright star R Doradus (left) with just a single detector of one of its cameras on Tuesday, Aug. 7. The frame is part of a swath of the southern sky TESS captured in its “first light” science image as part of its initial round of data collection.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON SUNSPOT SOLAR OBSERVATORY
Hey Space Placers!
Here is the official statement from Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA, http://www.aura-astronomy.org) regarding the "X-File" - my term not theirs - regarding the solar observatory closure that I blogged on recently.
The matter appears to be a law enforcement related matter.....
Sorry, no aliens or Roswell unfortunately. Crime even strikes the science of astronomy....

WHO DID IT?
Hey Space Placers!
Well, now we have a "who did it" aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
Someone, somewhere, drilled a HOLE in a Russian spacecraft.
Some Russians are blaming the onboard American astronauts - wow.
Who knows if this will ever be solved.

ALASKA AURORA AND STEVE
Hey Space Placers!
Please click on this link to see more of this morning's (9/11/18) pics of Aurora off the coast of Seward, AK underway on Windstar Cruises' Star Legend.
The purple ribbon is not an Aurora but a STEVE (Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement) event.
Hoping for more tonight.......
