In astrology, Priapus is the calculated point in the Moon’s orbit where it is closest to the Earth, also known as the lunar perigee. It is the counterpart to Lilith, the lunar apogee, which is the…

After launching 200 of these sophisticated satellites, Will and his team began to take pictures of Earth from space. These images enabled
The first images from ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter are now available to the public, including the closest pictures ever taken of the Sun.
The Europa Space Travel Poster made by JPL / NASA. Europa is the smallest of the four Galilean moons orbiting Jupiter, and the sixth-closest to the planet. It is also the sixth-largest moon in the Solar System. Evidence suggests the existence of lakes of liquid water entirely encased in Europa's icy outer shell. This is what is depicted in this poster. A creative team of visual strategists at JPL, known as "The Studio," created the poster series, which is titled "Visions of the Future." The original poster was then digitally cleaned up, adjusted and prepared for printing by me. WHAT MAKES MY PRINTS DIFFERENT Sure, you might find similar pictures elsewhere but not all prints are equal. I don't use regular printers and paper to print this art. Instead, I use a high end lab and the prints are made on professional photo printers using high quality a archival inks and acid-free archival Lustre paper. Lustre is a premium finish on a heavier paper and offers the vibrant colors of glossy with the fingerprint-resistant finish of matte. This type of finish avoids glare on the print. Prints are available in all popular sizes. You can select your size while you order. My listing photos are low resolution. Original high resolution files are used for printing. My pictures are not framed and do not include a frame. Some of the pictures with frames are just for illustration purposes only. SHIPPING: Prints are packaged to avoid any damage in transit. Usually prints will be flat-packed and shipped in a rigid box with material to protect the finished print. Some prints might be shipped in a rigid mailing tube with material to protect the finished print. Please see the shop's policies page for additional information on shipping.

The "supermoon" experienced today is extra special as it is the closest full moon to Earth since 1948 and there won't be another until 2034.

The distance between Mercury and Earth changes due to the orbits of the planets. When Mercury is at its closest point to Earth, it is 48 million miles away. When Mercury is at its furthest point from Earth, it is 138 million miles away. For a science project, Ruby calculates the maximum and minimum amount of time it would take to travel from Earth to Mercury in a spacecraft traveling 55 miles per hour. Approximately what are the times, in days? (A) 3,636 and 10,454 (B) 14,545 and 41,818 (C) 36,364 and 104,545 (D) 87,272 and 250,909 (E) 872,727 and 2,509,091 Following the solution will be a refresher on rate time distance problems. What we know: • When Mercury is at its closest point to Earth the distance is 48 million miles • When Mercury is at its furthest point from Earth the distance is 138 million miles • The speed of spacecraft is 55 miles per hour What we need to find: • The maximum and minimum time the spacecraft will take to travel from Earth to Mercury Closest distance = 48 million miles = 48000000 miles • Therefore, the minimum time required = 4800000055hours=872727hours=87272724days=36363daysFurthest distance = 138 million miles = 138000000 miles • Therefore, the maximum time required = 13800000055hours=2509090hours=250909024days=104545days C. Distance word problems can almost all be solved using the d = rt formula, where d stands for distance, r stands for the average rate of speed, and t stands for time. Make sure that the units for time and distance are the same units for the rate. If they give you a rate of feet per second, then your time must be in seconds and your distance must be in feet. If they use yards or something else that doesn't match most of the units, convert everything to the units that the answer choices are written in. Let's look at an example of a distance question and use a chart to parse out the parts of d=rt. A 555-mile, 5-hour plane trip was flown at two speeds. For the first part of the trip, the average speed was 105 mph. Then the tailwind picked up, and the remainder of the trip was flown at an average speed of 115 mph. For how long did the plane fly at each speed? d r t part 1 d 105 t part 2 555 – d 115 5 – t total 555 --- 5 Using d = rt, the first row gives me d = 105t, and the second row gives us 555 – d = 115(5 – t) Since the two distances add up to 555, add the two distance expressions, and set their sum equal to the given total 555 = 105t + 115(5 – t) 555 = 105t + 575 – 115t 555 = 575 – 10t –20 = –10t 2 = t According to the grid, t stands for the time spent on the first part of the trip, so the answer is the plane flew for 2 hours at 105 mph and 3 hours at 115 mph. If you're at a loss for what you're looking for, simply write d=rt as below and cover up the term you want to find. The equation is what remains visible.
The UK-built spacecraft's closest approach to the Sun, known as perihelion, took place on March 26, taking it inside the orbit of Mercury, at about one-third the distance from the Sun to the Earth.
NASA's Cassini probe is plunging to its death. The nuclear-powered spacecraft has orbited Saturn for 13 years, and sent back hundreds of thousands of images. The photos include close-ups of the gaseous giant, its famous rings, and its enigmatic moons - including Titan, which has its own atmosphere, and icy Enceladus, which has a subsurface ocean that could conceivably harbour microbial life.
