Know all 218 known moons of all the planets in our solar system? Well here they are! Every so often new moons are discovered for Saturn and the outer dwarf planets. 

☿ Mercury Moons = 0

Space pics for Valentine’s Day

Pluto’s Heart

Necklace Nebula Seen by Hubble Space Telescope
Friday, February 14, 2020: Happy Valentine’s Day from space! The Heart Nebula, also known as IC 1805, shimmers in deep space in this photo by astrophotographer Miguel Claro. Located 7,500 light-years from Earth in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way galaxy, the Heart Nebula resides in the constellation Cassiopeia. At the cusp of the heart is a bright, fish-shaped knot called the Fishhead Nebula.

Artemis Program-Facts about NASA’s Artemis program, which aims to send astronauts to the moon.

NASA’s Artemis program is an effort to place astronauts on the lunar surface and develop an ongoing presence there. The program’s name is derived from Artemis, the Greek goddess of the moon and twin sister to Apollo, whose namesake program first brought crews to our natural satellite 50 years ago. 

The Artemis program is a renaming of several earlier activities NASA was already undertaking to return humans to the moon. These were mandated by President Trump’s Space Policy Directive 1, which tasked the agency with focusing on missions to the moon. Earlier this year, vice president Mike Pence set an ambitious deadline to land humans at the lunar south pole by 2024. 

How much will Artemis cost? 

How many of these impressive plans will actually see fruition is difficult to tell at this point. Cost estimates are still being refined and the overall price tag of Artemis remains unknown. The Apollo program’s budget ended up being a total of $23.6 billion in 1973 dollars, according to NASA, the equivalent of more than $136 billion today. That means each Apollo moon landing cost around $22.6 billion in 2019 dollars. President Trump has recently sought an addition $1.6 billion for the Artemis program, on top of the $21 billion already allocated to NASA, but has yet to get the money approved by Congress.

Hubble Space Telescope-Few Pics

The Hubble Space Telescope is a space telescope that was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990 and remains in operation. It was not the first space telescope but it is one of the largest and most versatile, well known both as a vital research tool and as a public relations boon for astronomy. The Hubble telescope is named after astronomer Edwin Hubble and is one of NASA’s Great Observatories, along with the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.

Tuesday, February 18, 2020: The spiral galaxy NGC 2008 flaunts its shimmering galactic tentacles in this new image from the Hubble Space Telescope. Originally discovered in 1834 by the astronomer John Herschel, the galaxy resides about 425 million light-years away from Earth in the southern constellation of Pictor, the painter. NGC 2008 is classified as a type Sc galaxy, which means that it is a spiral with “a relatively small central bulge and more open spiral arms,” NASA said in a statement. “Spiral galaxies with larger central bulges tend to have more tightly wrapped arms, and are classified as Sa galaxies, while those in between are classified as type Sb.” — Hanneke Weitering
riday, February 21, 2020: The Sombrero Galaxy may have a smooth “brim,” suggesting that its past was free of any galactic collisions, but new data from the Hubble Space Telescope has shown that this seemingly unscathed galaxy is hiding a violent past. According to NASA, the galaxy’s faint outer halo provides some forensic clues that suggest the galaxy underwent multiple collisions with other galaxies billions of years ago.

Wednesday, February 12, 2020: The planetary nebula NGC 2392, also known as the “Eskimo Nebula,” is the colorful remnant of a star that died about 4,200 light-years from Earth, leaving behind a brilliant orb of intricate layers and patterns. This star didn’t die in a supernova explosion, but rather burned up all of its fuel, causing it to cool, expand and shed its outer layers. This image combines data collected via NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope in 2013, and citizen scientist Kevin Gill recently reprocessed the image to bring out the nebula’s detailed structure. — Hanneke Weitering

‘Hanging Cable’ Challenge

Amazon Supposedly Asked Job Applicants to Solve This!

Turns out, it’s a problem that can be traced back to at least one place, if not Amazon—a 2010 paper in the Atlantic Electronic Journal of Mathematics. If digging through an obscure academic journal isn’t exactly your idea of a fun Friday night, fear not: the YouTubers behind the channel MindYourDecisions do a great job of breaking down how to solve the problem and reach the correct answer. Now you can get back to worrying about other things, like where you see yourself in five years.
