UNDER CHUTE: I just had to share this amazing photo from NASA photographer Bill Ingalls of Expedition 42 falling back down to Earth yesterday. Instantly one of my favorite landing photos ever.
This evening, we watched a launch. No humans on board, just four identically instrumented spacecraft that will use Earth’s magnetosphere as a laboratory to study the microphysics of three fundamental plasma processes: magnetic reconnection, energetic particle acceleration, and turbulence.
Called, the MMS, the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission is a Solar Terrestrial Probes mission comprising our solar system. It will take readings in Earth’s magnetosphere, tracking changes in our geospace environment and monitoring space weather.
We did lots of stuff today, like doing a couple miles round the Queen Anne Bowl track, playing chess and Oz Fluxx, art and social studies classes, math and more, but I don't have photos to prove any of it. ;)
