A bit of space humor!
Best joke ever. Grumman plays a joke on NASA. Hey, they even got a discount! Gotta love their sense of humor, right?

Guess what the sun had for dinner this week? Give up? Okay, I’ll let you in on the story… Our local star ate a comet.
NASA’s orbiting Solar and Heliospheric Observatory had been studying comet ATLAS S1 approach the sun, using its occulter to block out the light from our star’s disk and astronomers got to witness its last moments.
I always get a big kick out of the peeps who claim we never went to the moon. When I saw this short by Neil deGrasse Tyson (one of my fave scientists, BTW), I couldn’t help but laugh aloud. Oh, damn, we forgot the stars! Okay, who’s responsible for this? You’re fired!
The Zooniverse project I started the other day, was a smaller one which ran out of current data, so this morning I began my third one, Solar Jet Hunters. It’s something right up my alley, since I’ve always been strongly attracted to solar research. In fact, if I could start a new career in astrophysics, this would wind up being my course of study. And what timing, since we just had a North American solar eclipse on Monday…
NASA is looking for its next astronaut class.
