What's Up? The Space Place

Hey Space Placers! Bad news about Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The primary camera,  Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3, is broken and not  working. Worse yet, NASA cannot pull in the people necessary to try and fix it because of the stupid partial government shut down. The problem is that NASA Goddard, where many of HST's expert work, is closed. We'll have to see what happens....... Sky Guy Greg

Hey Space Placers! Got 5 minutes? If so, take your computer into a dark room or view at night this gorgeous video from NASA Goddard  Scientific Visualization Studio   made with views my beloved Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). You won't be disappointed. This is what the Moon looks like through a good telescope with no atmosphere to blur the view. So beautiful..... Sky Guy Back in VA
