Our first close-up of Ganymede!

On this day in 1979, the Voyager 1 spacecraft snapped a series of images of Ganymede, the largest moon in our solar system, as it made its closest approach to Jupiter

Over the Cuando River basin (upper right corner in this image) a cloud free line traces the course of a river.

This line reflects a zone of cooler air directly above the river where cloud development is suppressed—at least on days with little wind.

Echo, echo…

Hubble captured a “light echo” from the star V838 Mon. A sequence of images shows how a pulse of light from this star illuminated its surrounding clouds of material!

The Apollo 11 Moon landing in July 1969 hinged on the success of Apollo 9, the first flight of the full Apollo spacecraft with the lunar module, launched #OTD in 1969. 🧵
#NASAhistory


Jim McDivitt, David Scott, and Rusty Schweickart's 10-day flight in Earth orbit tested flight hardware and mission procedures and proved that a crewed Moon landing was within reach.
