I did not believe this image was real when I first saw it. It looks so weird! It's not a spiral galaxy though, it's a star in our own Milky Way galaxy. So what is causing this weird spiral pattern of dust? I go through the physics of carbon stars and the best hypothesis we currently have to explain it. Let me know in the comments what weird space objects you guess humanity might be missing because we're not in the right place to see them.

Italian ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, speaking from the European Astronaut Centre near Cologne in Germany, has a message of thanks to all those who’ve entered our Lunar 3D printing competition so far. A new lunar analogue test facility, called Luna for short, is currently being set up at EAC to test the technologies and techniques needed for any future Moon base – with 3D printing high on the list. And a team ESA’s technical centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, is overseeing a project to research in detail how 3D printing could be used in such a Moon base. We’re also interested in the human factor: what would you 3D print to make the Moon feel like home? That’s why we’re crowdsourcing your ideas through this competition. The closing date is 23 September 2018. ★ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/ESAsubscribe Learn more about the Lunar printing competition here: http://bit.ly/WhatsYourIdeaTo3DPrintOnTheMoon Learn more about Samantha here: http://bit.ly/SamanthaCristoforettiESA Check out our full video catalog: http://bit.ly/SpaceInVideos Follow ESA on Twitter: http://bit.ly/ESAonTwitter On Facebook: http://bit.ly/ESAonFacebook On Instagram: http://bit.ly/ESAonInstagram On Flickr: http://bit.ly/ESAonFlickr ESA is Europe's gateway to space.

On Aug. 26, as part of NASA’s celebration of Katherine Johnson’s 100th birthday, agency employees received a special message from administrator Jim Bridenstine to mark the occasion. With slide rules and pencils, Katherine, a legendary NASA mathematician – and the other human computers who worked at the agency – helped our nation’s space program get off the ground, but it was their confidence, bravery and commitment to excellence that broke down racial and social barriers that continue to inspire to this day. To learn more about Katherine and other trailblazing ‘human computers,’ visit: https://www.nasa.gov/modernfigures

In 1962, as NASA prepared for the orbital mission of John Glenn, Katherine Johnson was called upon to hand check the computer’s orbital equations that would control the trajectory of the capsule in John Glenn’s Friendship 7 mission, from blast off to splashdown. “If she says they’re good,’” Katherine Johnson remembers the astronaut saying, “then I’m ready to go.” Glenn’s flight was a success, and marked a turning point in the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union in space. NASA wishes Katherine Johnson a very Happy 100th Birthday. To learn more about Katherine and other trailblazing ‘human computers,’ visit: https://www.nasa.gov/modernfigures

In 2018, NASA is celebrating its 60th anniversary. One way we’re celebrating is exploring the unique stories of the women at NASA. What advice do they have for the next generation?

American pilot Jerrie Cobb hoped to be "the first Western woman in space," according to an interview she gave to CBC's Take 30 back in September 1963. And as Cobb explains, she saw no reason that women couldn't take part in space exploration. Note: This aired on Sept. 16, 1963.

As the US space program ramped up in the 1950s and 1960s, female pilots underwent testing and training as part of a program led by Dr. Randy Lovelace, who was in charge of medical evaluations for male astronauts and believed strongly that females should also be involved in space flight. Thirteen women, including Sarah Gorelick Ratley (main, in helmet, and inset, in the film) made the cut and often did better than the men - but the privately-funded program was axed before the women could complete the training. Undeterred, they took their case to Congress - and those Congressional hearings (bottom right) marked 'one of the first moments in the burgeoning women's movement,' says David Sington, who directed Mercury 13, a new Netflix documentary chronicling the pilots' experience. Testimony from John Glenn, however - as well as famed female pilot Jacqueline Cochran, who had unsuccessfully lobbied to become an astronaut herself - claimed that women had no place in space and the program remained closed. Many of the Mercury 13 were crushed and shocked at the lack of support from Cochran. Their contributions were not forgotten, however, and inspired astronaut Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot the space shuttle - who invited the Mercury 13 to the 1995 launch (top right) Original Article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5638809/Mercury-13-female-pilots-trained-space-flight-1960s-outdid-men.html Original Video: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1673586/Video-Mercury-13-doc-tells-story-women-trained-space.html Daily Mail Facebook: http://facebook.com/dailymail Daily Mail IG: http://instagram.com/dailymail Daily Mail Snap: https://www.snapchat.com/discover/Daily-Mail/8392137033 Daily Mail Twitter: http://twitter.com/MailOnline Daily Mail Pinterest: http://pinterest.co.uk/dailymail Daily Mail Google+: https://plus.google.com/+DailyMail Get the free Daily Mail mobile app: http://dailymail.co.uk/mobile

Amy Mainzer is a senior research scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. She served as deputy project scientist for NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer mission, an Earth-orbiting telescope designed to survey the entire sky in heat-sensitive infrared wavelengths. Following successful completion of its prime mission, this telescope was renamed NEOWISE and given a new mission to characterize asteroids and comets; Mainzer is the principal investigator. She also is the principal investigator of the proposed Near-Earth Object Camera mission, which would carry out a comprehensive survey of asteroids and comets using a dedicated space telescope surveying the solar system from a vantage point beyond the Earth’s Moon.

Vickie Gutierrez is a manager in the Performance Management and Integration Office at the NASA Johnson Space Center.

A group of women at NASA called "human computers," many of them black, helped put a man on the moon. Their intellect was an essential part of America's ability to launch rockets into space. Jan Crawford shows us how they were relegated to a footnote in history -- until now.

Sarah Noble grew up in rural Minnesota, where from a very young age she was fascinated with space exploration, staring up at the moon and making plans to visit it one day. She started college as an aerospace engineering major, because it was the only major with the word “space” in it, but stumbled into a geology class one day and fell in love with the science. Knowing her love of all things space related, her professors steered her towards planetary geology, the subfield of geology that studies how other planets (and moons and asteroids and comets and whatnot) form, evolve, and operate. She started her NASA career studying meteorites as an undergraduate intern at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. After graduate school, and a short adventure working for Congress, she returned to Johnson, and also spent time working at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland before finding her place at the agency’s headquarters in Washington. She has worked as a program officer and discipline scientist in the Planetary Science Division at NASA Headquarters since 2010 working on missions, as well as research and analysis programs. She is an avid painter and is passionate about sharing the joy and beauty of space exploration, both through science outreach and through her artwork.
