| Title |
Thornton Prepares to Release Hubble Array |
| Full Description |
To run all their systems, satellites need a way to generate power for months, even years. Most Earth-orbiting spacecraft, like the Hubble Space Telescope, rely on solar cells to recharge their onboard batteries. But solar panels have their own set of problems. They must be lightweight and flexible to fit inside a relatively small launch vehicle. Consequently, they tend to be fragile, and several satellites have had to cope with damaged panels once in orbit. That is what happened to the Hubble Space Telescope. Fortunately, the telescope was designed for on-orbit repairs, and astronauts were able to remove the damaged panel and replace it with a new one. In this image, Astronaut Kathy Thornton releases the old panel into low-Earth orbit during the first Hubble Space Telescope Servicing Mission in 1993. Earth's gravitation pulled the jettisoned panel toward Earth's atmosphere, where it entered and ultimately burned up. |

Manicouagan Impact Crater on Earth |
| Explanation |
The Manicouagan Crater [ http://www.linkdirectory.com/airphoto/1030.html ] in northern Canada [ http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ca.html ] is one of the oldest impact craters [ http://observe.ivv.nasa.gov/nasa/exhibits/craters/impact_home.html ] known. Formed during a surely tremendous impact [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990711.html ] about 200 million years ago, the present day terrain supports a 70-kilometer diameter hydroelectric reservoir [ http://www.ilec.or.jp/database/nam/nam-26.html ] in the telltale form of an annular lake [ http://epod.usra.edu/archive/epodviewer.php3?oid=40640 ]. The crater itself has been worn away by the passing of glaciers [ http://www.glacier.rice.edu/land/5_whatisaglacier.html ] and other erosional processes. Still, the hard rock [ http://duke.usask.ca/~reeves/prog/geoe118/geoe118.011.html ] at the impact site has preserved much of the complex impact structure [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap960120.html ] and so allows scientists a leading case to help understand large impact features on Earth [ http://www.lpi.usra.edu/publications/slidesets/impacts.html ] and other [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap001213.html ap960906.html ] Solar System bodies. Also visible above [ http://earth.jsc.nasa.gov/lores.cgi?PHOTO=STS009-48-3139 ] is the vertical fin of the Space Shuttle [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990411.html ] Columbia from which the picture was taken in 1983. |

Aurora from Space |
| Explanation |
From the ground, spectacular auroras seem to dance [ http://science.nasa.gov/spaceweather/aurora/ gallery_01mar03.html ] high above. But the International Space Station (ISS [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070625.html ]) orbits at nearly the same height as many auroras [ http://www.exploratorium.edu/learning_studio/ auroras/ ], sometimes passing over [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010210.html ] them, and sometimes right through them. Still, the auroral electron [ http://www.aip.org/history/electron/ ] and proton [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/lib/lament.html ] streams pose no direct danger to the ISS [ http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/station/ ]. In 2003, ISS Science Officer Don Pettit [ http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/pettit.html ] captured the green aurora, pictured above [ http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/ 24mar_noseprints.htm ] in a digitally sharpened image. From orbit, Pettit reported [ http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/station/crew/exp6/ spacechronicles.html ] that changing auroras [ http://www.geo.mtu.edu/weather/aurora/ ] appeared to crawl around like giant green amoebas [ http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artsep01/ amoeba.html ]. Over 300 kilometers below, the Manicouagan Impact Crater [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap001213.html ] can be seen in northern Canada, planet Earth. |

Space Station and Space Shuttle: Backyard View |
| Explanation |
Knowing when and where [ http://www.heavens-above.com/ ] to look, many enthusiastic sky gazers have been able to spot the International Space Station (ISS) as a bright star streaking [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap001214.html ] through the twilight. But with a digital camera and a small telescope, recognizable images are possible [ http://www.hobbyspace.com/SatWatching/ ] too. Astronomer Ricardo Borba offers this example [ http://www.borba.com/iss/ ] of the Space Shuttle Discovery [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010320.html ] docked with the ISS [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010228.html ], recorded this August from his backyard in Ottawa, Canada. Operating a digital video camera on an 8 inch reflecting telescope, Borba tracked the Earth-orbiting pair by hand. Unwanted telescope motion and atmospheric blurring [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap000725.html ] caused most of the video frames to be indistinct, still the single best frame (left) from his video sequence is amazingly sharp. For comparison, he constructed a computer generated image (right) showing the approximate orientation of the Shuttle/ISS docking configuration based on virtual 3D models [ http://vesuvius.jsc.nasa.gov/er/seh/sehvrml.html ] available on the web [ http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/vrml/station/ ]. |

Along with popular beaches and tropical resorts, these volcanic islands [ http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/volcanowatch/ ] offer extreme elevations with dark, dry, cloudless skies [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap020425.html ]. Consequently they have also become popular sites for large and sophisticated ground based telescopes [ http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/ifa/ifa.html ].

What do auroras look like from space? From the ground, auroras dance [ http://science.nasa.gov/spaceweather/aurora/gallery_01mar03.html ] high above clouds [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010402.html ], frequently causing spectacular displays [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap000410.html ]. The International Space Station [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap021103.html ] (ISS) orbits just at the same height as many auroras [ http://www.exploratorium.edu/learning_studio/auroras/ ], though. Therefore, sometimes it flies over [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010210.html ] them, but also sometimes it flies right through. The auroral electron [ http://www.aip.org/history/electron/ ] and proton [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/lib/lament.html ] streams are too thin to be a danger to the ISS [ http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/station/ ], just as clouds [ http://seaborg.nmu.edu/Clouds/bluesky.html ] pose little danger to airplanes [ http://www.allstar.fiu.edu/aero/airflylvl3.htm ]. ISS Science Officer [ http://spacelink.nasa.gov/NASA.News/NASA.News.Releases/Previous.News.Releases/0 2.News.Releases/02-09.News.Releases/02-09-16.First.NASA.ISS.Science.Officer ] Don Pettit [ http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/pettit.html ] captured a green aurora, pictured above [ http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/24mar_noseprints.htm ] in a digitally sharpened image.
