Solar System: Things to Know This Week
Our solar system is huge, so let us break it down for you. Here are a few things to know this week:
1. We’re Going In
To be honest, Jupiter is kind of a monster. Not only is it the biggest planet in the solar system, but it also wields the most dangerous radiation and other powerful forces. Despite the risks, our Juno probe is going in close, because Jupiter also holds precious clues to how the planets formed, including our own. Arrival date: July 4. Watch the Juno mission trailer video HERE.
2. Moon Maps
The moon is beautiful in the sky, and also up close—sometimes even in the maps that scientists use to study its surface. Here are some evocative maps that lunar geologists have drawn up to chart the landscapes in the moon’s dramatic Tycho Crater. Take a look HERE.
3. That’s No Moon…Sort Of
The full moon we’ll see this week is not Earth’s only companion in space. Astronomers have discovered a small asteroid in an orbit around the sun that keeps it near the Earth, where it will remain for centuries. But it’s not exactly a second moon, either.
4. Power Blast
Venus has an “electric wind” strong enough to remove the components of water from its upper atmosphere, which may have played a significant role in stripping Earth’s twin planet of its oceans, according to new results from the European Space Agency (ESA) Venus Express mission by NASA-funded researchers.
5. How Green (Well, Red) Was My Valley
“Marathon Valley” slices through the rim of a large crater on Mars. It has provided fruitful research targets for our Opportunity rover since July 2015, but now the rover’s team is preparing to move on.

Falling Stars
Not sure if I have the right source but I found this beautiful gif in @lsd-kitty‘s archive. When I saw it, I just wanted to make a looping version.
Not as dense of a star field but a great result none the less.

This picture gave me the feels.
Love the universe.
Of course we are!
If we didn’t have eyes we wouldn’t be aware of the existence of colour. What if we’re missing out on an entire aspect of everything simply because we don’t have the organ to detect it?
ESPERANCE
[noun]
hope or expectation.
Etymology: from Old French, from Vulgar Latin sperantia (unattested), from Latin spērāre, “to hope”, from spēs, “hope”.
[Magdalena Pagowska - Hope]
And then there are the so-called “forbidden colors” called red-green and blue-yellow, because scientists suck at naming things. We know they exist, but our retinas piss all over the very idea by crudely approximating them to their base colors when sending the signal to the brain. In an experiment conducted in 1983, researchers figured out they could make volunteers actually see these colors using specifically constructed striped images where one half of an eye’s retinal cells could only see one color while the other saw the other, basically overloading the eye until it went “screw it” and unleashed the forbidden hues.
The volunteers saw colors they had not seen before, but had no words for what they were looking at. It sort of broke their brains for a minute.

I’m so in love with how this book came out, and I can’t wait for everyone to see it! It’s the classic story of how Ruby and Sapphire fell in love, but told in an entirely new way.

David Bowie and Nudibranchs are both otherworldly creatures, one came from outer space, the other is found in all of the Earth’s oceans, both are some of the most colorful creatures ever seen on earth.
To find out what else they have in common please follow our favorite new Tumblr blog, @bowiebranchia, which pairs fantastic photos of David Bowie from throughout his career with spectacular marine gastropods whose bodies match Bowie’s outfits, makeup, and hairstyles.
