Hey Moooooooooooon🍅🧢 On January 21, 2019 moonwatchers on planet Earth saw a total lunar eclipse. In 35 frames this composite image follows the Moon that night as it crossed into Earth's dark umbral shadow. Taken 3 minutes apart, they almost melt together in a continuous screen that captures the dark colors within the shadow itself and the northern curve of the shadow's edge. Sunlight scattered by the atmosphere into the shadow causes the lunar surface to appear reddened during totality (left), but close to the umbra's edge, the limb of the eclipsed Moon shows a remarkable blue hue. The blue eclipsed moonlight originates as rays of sunlight pass through layers high in Earth's upper stratosphere, colored by ozone that scatters red light and transmits blue. The Moon's next crossing into Earth's umbral shadow, will be on May 26, 2021.

The PLASMA MOOOOON shirts are back!!! 💥 (both versions!) new @teespring 🌑 The shirts display the major moons in our solar system and compares them against each other. + ...and with the first New Moon of 2020 we reveal our NEW MOOOOON HOODIE! 🌚 LINK IN BIO 🌚 design @davidbenski #plasmamagazine #mooooonshirt #ganymede #titan #callisto #io #europa #mooncomparison #solarsystem #moons #research #davidbenski #spaceexploration #science #shirts #nerdshirt #scienceshirt #spaceshirt #space #plasmamagazine4 #plasmamagazine5 #spacetime #artandtechnology #artandscience #plasmamagazinemerch #mooooonhoodie #teespring #plasmamagazinehoodie #mooooon

Here comes the sun, and I say It's all right 🧡 After completing three of 24 passes around the sun, the Parker Solar Probe collects data that adds to our understanding of space phenomena One of the first images NASA’s Parker Solar Probe took during its close encounter with the sun shows a streamer of plasma in the outer solar atmosphere, or corona. The probe took this image November 8 at a distance of about 27 million kilometers from the sun’s surface. The bright dot below the streamer is Mercury. The dark spots are a result of the data processing and are not actual physical features in the corona.

Pluto’s Big Moon Charon 🏐 At half the diameter of Pluto, Charon is the largest satellite relative to its planet in the solar system. Many New Horizons scientists expected Charon to be a monotonous, crater-battered world; instead, they’re finding a landscape covered with mountains, canyons, landslides, surface-color variations and more. PLASMA MOON COMPARISON POSTER @teespring 🏐 LINK IN BIO 🏐 Charon in Enhanced Color NASA's New Horizons captured this high-resolution enhanced color view of Charon just before closest approach on July 14, 2015. The image combines blue, red and infrared images taken by the spacecraft’s Ralph/Multispectral Visual Imaging Camera (MVIC); the colors are processed to best highlight the variation of surface properties across Charon. Charon’s color palette is not as diverse as Pluto’s; most striking is the reddish north (top) polar region, informally named Mordor Macula. Charon is 754 miles (1,214 kilometers) across; this image resolves details as small as 1.8 miles (2.9 kilometers).

MULTIPASS! 🧡 Let’s gear up and get ready for interplanetary vacations on the Moon, Mars and beyond! . . SpaceX successfully launched a rocket this Sunday morning from Kennedy Space Center and intentionally blew it up over the Atlantic Ocean to test its Crew Dragon spacecraft’s emergency abort system. 🐉 It’s another giant leap towards manned interplanetary exploration across our solar system! Sci-Fi concepts are becoming more real each day... . pics Columbia Pictures #fifthelement #lucbesson #scificlassic #flyingcars #sciencefiction #scifi #moviefantasy #cgi #scalemodels #behindthescenes #brucewillis #millajovovich #korbendallas #newyork #future #futuretechnology #science #research #plasmamagazine #interplanetary #artandscience #jeanpaulgaultier #spacex #crewdragon #humanspaceflight #multipass #spacetravel #leeloo
