Why does mid-infrared light evoke such a sombre, chilling mood in Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) image? Interstellar dust cloaks the scene. And while mid-infrared light specialises in detailing where dust is, the stars aren’t bright enough at these wavelengths to appear. Instead, these looming, leaden-hued pillars of gas and dust gleam at their edges, hinting at the activity within.

Un asteorid uriaș tocmai a trecut pe lângă planeta noastră! Pământul a fost în pericol! Scrie presa! Prieteni, e ca în bancurile de la Erevan: da, a trecut, doar că “pe lângă” înseamnă o distanță de 15 ori mai mare decât cea până la Lună! Adică a trecut pe la vreo 6 milioane de kilometri depărtare de noi… Țineți minte, sunt trei cazuri: 1) asteorizii mai mici de câțiva zeci de metri nu produc catastrofe; cei mai mulți ard în aer. 2) Asterozii cu un diametru de câteva sute de metri pot distruge un oraș , dar nu Pământul întreg ! Ăștia trebuie detectați la timp și deviați din mișcarea lor. 3) Asteroizi mai mari de un kilometru diametru. Ăștia sunt cei mai periculoși dar, din fericire, sunt toți monitorizați de către NASA . Știm , cu certitudine, că niciunul nu va lovi Pământul în următoarea sută de ani.
After the uncrewed Artemis I test flight, the Artemis II mission will have astronauts demonstrate what the Orion spacecraft – powered by a European Service Module – can do on its voyage around the Moon.
Two astronauts will fly on the second Artemis mission and take over controls to show how Orion handles at close-quarter flying. While in Earth orbit the spacecraft will detach from its second stage, fly away, turn around, approach the second stage and then fly away again – all using the European Service Module’s 33 thrusters.
Whereas in the first Artemis mission the second stage fired Orion into its lunar orbit, for the second mission it will be the European Service Module that will give the spacecraft its final push to its voyage around the Moon.
The crew will fly Orion to 8889 km beyond the Moon before completing a lunar flyby and returning to Earth. The mission will take a minimum of eight days and will collect valuable flight test data.
The European Service Module is one of ESA’s many contributions to NASA’s Orion spacecraft and the Artemis programme that will send astronauts to the Moon and beyond. It provides electricity, water, oxygen and nitrogen as well as keeping the spacecraft at the right temperature and on course.
The European Service Module has 33 thrusters, 11 km of electrical wiring, four propellant and two pressure tanks that all work together to supply propulsion and everything needed to keep astronauts alive far from Earth – there is no room for error.

Cameras on NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft give us amazing views of our adventure around the Moon. See up close views of the Moon from external cameras as well as the view from inside the capsule.
Orion is the only spacecraft capable of carrying humans from Earth on Artemis missions to deep space and bringing them back to Earth from the vicinity of the Moon. More than just a crew module, Orion has a launch abort system to keep astronauts safe if an emergency happens during launch, and a European-built service module that is the powerhouse that fuels and propels Orion and keeps astronauts alive with water, oxygen, power, and temperature control, as well as a heat shield that can handle high-speed returns from deep space. SLS is the most powerful rocket in the world and the only rocket capable of launching Orion with astronauts and their supplies on Artemis missions to the Moon.
Orion launched on the SLS rocket from Launch Pad 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2022. Artemis I is an uncrewed flight test of our SLS rocket, Orion spacecraft, and exploration ground systems for future Artemis missions—which will provide the foundation to send humans to the lunar surface, develop a long-term presence on and around the Moon, and pave the way for humanity to set foot on Mars.
Despre invitat: Adrian Apetri s-a născut la Târgu Mureș și a absolvit în 1997 Facultatea de Chimie și Inginerie Chimică de la Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai. După o prima tentativă de doctorat în cinetică chimică în România, abandonată în 1999, se înscrie la studii doctorale la Case Western Reserve University, în cadrul Departamentului de Fiziologie și Biofizică, unde se convertește, de altfel, la biochimie. Își susține doctoratul în 2004. Este specialist în plierea proteinelor și problemele care apar datorită “misfolding” cu accent pe prioni (boală vacii nebune și variantele umane (Creutzfeldt Jacob, Fatal Familial Insomnia) dar și alte proteine implicate în Alzheimers, Parkinsons etc.). A fost cercetător postdoctoral la Case Western Reserve University, Departamentul de Fiziologie și Biofizică, în 2004-2005. Între 2006 și 2009 lucrează la Howard Hughes Medical Institute Fellow la Yale University, ca o continuare a aventurii în lumea proteinelor (pliere, chaperoni, conexie cu bolile neurodegenerative). În 2010, se întoarce în Europa și lansează un start-up, Crucell, care este mai târziu achiziționat de Johnson and Johnson. În toți acești ani a construit laboratoare și grupuri de cercetare, a lucrat pe programe de anticorpi și vaccinuri, pe chestiuni de neurodegenerare și, mai târziu, în domeniul infecțiilor respiratorii. A supraviețuit pandemiei de Covid pe două fronturi: cetățean supus restricțiilor și cercetător în prima linie

Is there water on the Moon? Yes! But you won’t find pools of liquid H2O on the lunar surface — water on the Moon is mostly in the form of ice.
Harvesting this water is a critical component of future human deep space exploration, which is why our golf cart-sized VIPER, or the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover, will be traveling to the Moon’s South Pole to search for ice and other potential resources to determine where they came from.

Cosmic radiation is considered to be the main health hazard for humans on exploration missions. Far away from the protection of Earth’s magnetic field, the radiation doses could be up to 700 times higher than on our planet.
For long-term human activity at the Moon, we need to monitor the lunar radiation environment directly.
Two sources of radiation are of concern: galactic cosmic radiation from outside the galaxy and the unpredictable but virulent charged particles coming from our own Sun.
Cosmic radiation is always there, and it is also the main source of radiation for increasing the crew’s risk of cancer in missions to the Moon and Mars. The solar events deliver a high amount of radiation in a short period of time, leading to radiation sickness, with symptoms such as nausea and fatigue.
