The Planetary Society celebrates a trio of space missions with “Planetfest ‘21: To Mars and Back Again”… The Planetary Society celebrates a trio of space missions with “Planetfest ’21: To Mars and Back Again”… The Planetary Society. Founded in 1980, The Planetary Society was the dream of Dr. Bruce Murray, Dr. Carl Sagan, and Dr. Louis Friedman. The three men were seeking to create a privately funded, non-profit organization devoted to the exploration of our solar system, as well as popularizing education in space science. I joined as an average, non-scientist space geek and sci-fi nerd back in 1996,… View On WordPress

Post launch at the @ulalaunch Atlas pad. Looks like something is missing, right? Well, yeah- the rocket! About two hours after the launch our photographers were allowed back into the pad to collect their remote cameras. You can hear systems cooling down the pad and notice charring on the erector! Atlas may be long gone but she certainly left her mark! #latergram #AtlasV #LightSail #OTV4 #Space #ExploreSpace #USAF #ThePlanetarySociety #X37B #AFSPC5 #CapeCanaveral #Florida #tbt #Rocketgram

I, and the majority of my generation, have been very angry about Pluto’s de-planetation. This has troubled me for a long time! And I have ADAMANTLY kept calling her by the name “planet” as I believed it to he her BIRTHRIGHT! But, over a teleconference I was part of a week or so ago, a scientist that I deeply respect was able to help me view this beauty in a new light: Pluto does NOT have the makings of the classification “planet”. She is, infact, a making all her own! She is something DIFFERENT! Something NEW! Something SPECTACULAR!! She is the FIRST of her kind that we discovered, and she is by far NOT the last. As a self proclaimed astronomer, a hobbiest, an obsessionist! I come to you with a NEW outlook on Pluto’s “De-planetation”. It was as not a “demotion” but a UNIQUE “PROMOTION”, something rare for the astronomical society to claim and discover! Something new! Something different! Something special! Something SPECTACULAR! That Pluto WILL ALWAYS be known as the FIRST for! I understand the heart she so loving shows us now. For discovering her TRUE identity 💜

BILL NYE • THE PLANETARY SOCIETY

I was pretty stoked when The Planetary Society contacted me for a session with Bill. There is truly never a dull moment hanging out with the guy! We discussed a wide range of things from astrophysics to skinny jeans. Also, be sure to check out his latest book, Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation ! Great stuff!

President of The Mars Society, Contributor and speaker for @natgeo Mars series Dr. Robert Zubrin visits our studio for our talk show “The Human Mission” in 2017. We wanted to learn more about what inspired him to become a Scientist and his undying passion for sending humans to Mars. During the show we played a short game of 3 Player Chess, one of his many ingenious inventions! Planetary Scientist from France 🇫🇷 Matthieu Choukroun joins us on stage. We have not slated a release date. Parts of this interview will be included in our documentary film “A History in the Future of Space” stay tuned. @robertzubrin @natgeochannel @mars.natgeo.spacex @marssocietyla @themarssociety @reactionresearchsociety @watchhollywood #historyfuturespace #themarssociety #reactionresearchsociety #theplanetarysociety #friendsofamateurrocketry #nasa #saturnv #apollo11 #nasajpl #spacex #blueorigin #virgingalactic #virginorbit #rocketdyne #masten #roscosmos #esa #davanewman #anoushehansari #lelandmelvin #jedidahisler #georgewhitesides #lorettahidalgowhitesides #urigagarin #mars (at Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood CA) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpIss0kAvFI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iernnogyw1fa

Public Star Parties Free public star parties are held #monthly at #GriffithObservatory from 2:00 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. with the assistance of volunteers from the #LosAngelesAstronomicalSociety, the #LosAngelesSidewalkAstronomers, and #ThePlanetarySociety . They are a chance for the whole family to look at the #Sun , #Moon , visible #planets and other objects, to try out a variety of #telescopes , and to talk to knowledgeable #amateurastronomers about the #sky and their equipment. Please be aware that the #astronomers and telescope demonstrators must cut off the line for each telescope to enable all viewing to be completed by 9:45 p.m. Hours for telescope operation are not the same as for the building (which closes at 10:00 p.m.). information: http://griffithobservatory.org photo: pic collage #LosAngeles #SaveTheDates
