NASA on airport optimization by me! NASA, one of the most prominent and influential administrations in air travel, developed advanced digital traffic management tools such as the MetroSim, a Metroplex-based planning system that uses mathematical and physics based optimization to help airport planners, air traffic control, and pilots to minimize the uncertainty in airport planning and ensure that congested airspaces still maintain smooth arrivals and departures no matter the circumstances. Furthermore, IADS is a system developed under NASA’s Airspace Technology Demonstration 2 (ATD-2) operation. Serving as an electronic ground traffic control system, IADS uses a notion called surface metering when demand exceeds capacity. This system controls how many aircrafts move on the ground during departure and arrival to reduce congestion and save engine time. IADS calculates the exact moment the aircraft will reach the ground, maximizing the amount of time saved and space cleared for the arrival.

I wanna work at NASA so bad its not even funny… I wanna be a engineer to bring us to the stars ☆

I worked on it for three days but it was worth it, I’m going to draw more space because I’m in love with it, watching NASA’s Instagram account is my new hobby. I was inspired while reading a book about how the universe was created, there was a sentence there that we are created from what was created in the big bang, inside stars and after their explosion.

tired of people asking me whether i believe in aliens or not i feel like that is one of the least interesting questions about space and just the concept of aliens honestly

Pumice Rafts Encroach on Admiralty Islands On May 8, 2026, satellites detected signs of an unexpected submarine volcanic eruption in the Bismarck Sea near the islands of Papua New Guinea. Over the next several weeks, plumes of steam and ash streamed over the sea, and areas of discolored water surrounded the eruption site. Relatively little is known about the ocean floor in this area or the volcanic feature that is presently erupting. But experts think the new activity, ongoing as of mid-June, might be occurring along the Titan Ridge and has the potential to form an ephemeral new island. Despite the unknowns, the effects of the eruption became unmistakable for some communities in Papua New Guinea’s Admiralty Islands . In early June, rafts of pumice drifted northwest from the eruption site and clogged up coastlines on several of the islands. Bands of the buoyant volcanic material are visible in this image, acquired with the OLI (Operational Land Imager) on Landsat 8 on June 4, as they drifted with surface currents on the Bismarck Sea. Several days after the image, news outlets reported acute impacts from thick masses of pumice reaching coastal areas. Communities on Lou Island and Baluan Island, to the south, were described by officials as among the worst affected, according to reports from local media . Outlets reported that a layer of pumice up to several meters thick blanketed the shore, cutting off access to the water. The volcanic fragments similarly choked the coast and key waterways around the much larger Manus Island , about 125 kilometers (80 miles) northwest of the volcano and out of frame. Studies of past pumice raft events have found that the material can remain afloat for months to years before sinking out of satellite view. Larger rafts can form with the help of ash, which serves to “weld” together fragments of the porous rock, said Jim Garvin, the chief scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, noting this process occurred during the 2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha‘apai . “These masses can pile up around erupting vents to protect the eruption centers and produce ephemeral new lands in some cases,” he said. When adrift, such pumice platforms can act as floating homes for marine organisms—from microalgae to bryozoans to barnacles—and enable them to disperse over long distances . Though beneficial to life in some ways, the rafts can pose serious threats to humans and other species. Some of the larger fragments of pumice stack up to form ridges when they reach the coastlines of islands. Reports from Papua New Guinea highlight the disruptions to fishing, the transport of goods, and access to critical services that can occur when pumice accumulates along the coast. Communities have expressed concerns over the pumice’s effects on marine ecosystems, as well. Researchers have noted that the sustained presence of pumice can block sunlight and may inhibit photosynthesis in seagrass and corals below, and the rocks may physically damage reef structures. In a review of the ecological effects of pumice reaching Japan’s coast in 2021, researchers noted the die-off of filter-feeding fish in fishery cages from ingesting pumice, warning that other wildlife may be harmed by mistakenly consuming the rocks. New studies using an ensemble of orbital remote sensing platforms—including Landsat, hyperspectral instruments, and imaging radars—are tracking developments in this Bismarck Sea region, Garvin said. These observations can provide new perspectives on hazards as well as unique scientific opportunities for improved understanding of submarine eruptions.

Destroyer Engagement Now that I’m slowly amassing some fleets of different factions, I can start smacking them into each other for fun, as I try to parse getting them into a game engine. Most conventional orbital engagements occur at a distance of many hundreds or even thousands of kilometers, and are measured in hours or days of calculated missile trajectories and torpedo interception times. Combat over Typhon however is compressed by its dense asteroid fields into ‘knife-fight range’. While the years-old adage of “Whoever tags first wins” is still sometimes true, referring to whoever gets the first sensor lock and thus gets to fire first, battles over Typhon are often flipped in an instant by clever captains and fast ships.

Rating the NASA Astronomy Picture Of the Day Based Purely On My Uninformed Opinion On Its Inherent Aesthetic value: June 16 2026 10/10 holy shit LOOK AT IT YOU CAN SEE TWO SEPARATE MOONS IN ONE FRAME AND THE RINGS AND THEIR SHADOWS this is easily one of the most science fiction looking photographs ever taken edit: i didn’t even remember to mention the storms you can see in the clouds thats how cool this picture is Source

The best place to look for alien megastructures might be moon dust Technological civilisations may be more detectable via long-lived passive technosignatures than short-lived radio emissions. Large structures such as Dyson swarms could grind down into micron-scale “technograins” that escape their systems and disperse through the Galaxy. The Moon’s ancient, relatively undisturbed regolith could accumulate and preserve such debris, making lunar dust a promising search site.

JAXA finally gets it right with the H3 Six small satellites developed by universities and other organizations carried by the vehicle also were believed to be successfully separated, JAXA said. https://apnews.com/article/japan-jaxa-h3-rocket-launch-9c64f2c59b9212d612902e74823b77b5 “Believed to be” successful. Very Japanese. It’s a start. A late, very much delayed start. But at least it worked (finally). View On WordPress

astronomy in the ancient world! by me~! In the ancient world, when the sky was not yet affected by the destruction of factories, light pollution, and humans, the celestial bodies were much more visible and radiant than they are today. The stars and the moon were not just beautiful sights to the early civilizations but rather used as an essential tool of survival. In ancient cultures, people looked up at the sky when they needed to navigate the world, understand the time, and even connect with the divine. Around 1800 B.C., the ancient Babylonians began documenting the daily, monthly, and yearly transits and positions of the Sun and Moon using the sexagesimal system, a base-60 numerical system and the backbone of their astronomy. This knowledge held a political and spiritual purpose. Early Babylonian astronomers would use their observations to warn the king of any catastrophic events possibly coming their way and also to track the will of their gods. The stars were used to read omens, predict war, and schedule religious rituals. It is no surprise that the ancient Egyptians—as advanced as they were—also had their own bit of knowledge about the celestial bodies. Around the 5th millennium BCE, Egyptian astronomy began in the prehistoric Sahara at Nabta Playa. These sites, marked by the stone circles at Navta Playa by nomadic herders thousands of years before the pyramids, are one of the earliest known astronomical observatories in human history. The pyramids themselves were positioned using astronomy to align with the north star, Polaris. However, at the time it was called Thuban.
