Farewell minimoon

The remains of a 1960 booster will leave us next week. Better in terms of space junk around Earth. And yet, it reminds me of buck rogers…

Happy birthday Curiosity

I watched, a few years ago, Curiosity’s landing on Mars. We expected it to work for two years probably less. 3000 days later, it’s still active and we keep learning about life on mars. It has changed our knowledge and, more than that, the way we look at Mars. Thank you.

Cosmic time scale ?

We are used to long timeline for space events. At least million years. And then the stingray nebula fades within the last 20 years. Fascinating…
