Images From Comet’s Mars Flyby On This Week @NASA- October 24, 2014
Several Mars-based NASA spacecraft had prime viewing positions for comet Siding Spring’s October 19 close flyby of the Red Planet. Early images included a composite photo from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope that combined shots of Mars, the comet, and a star background to illustrate Siding Spring’s distance from Mars at closest approach. Also, images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter’s HiRISE camera, which represent the highest-resolution views ever acquired of a comet that came from the Oort Cloud, at the outer fringe of the solar system. The comet flyby – only about 87,000 miles from Mars – was much closer than any other known comet flyby of a planet. Also, Partial solar eclipse, Space station spacewalk, Preparing to release Dragon, Cygnus launch update, Welding begins on SLS, Astronaut class visits Glenn and more!
I´M FROM ICELAND! 😀 😀 😀
Always informative! thanks
Dear NASA,
Please will you hire a person with a decent voice and who doesn't have lisp to do your voice overs. The voice over guy that you have is terrible and is a big reason why I don't watch more of your videos on this channel.
Thank you for your time,
Ben
P.S. As a student I'm pretty broke and have lots of free time so please get in touch if you want to hire me 🙂
GO NASA, GO!
No such thing as an Oort Cloud. No facts support it. That is what we call Science Fiction. why mention it and ruin a perfectly good report with nonsense.
Hey NASA has taken one of their 100 years old telescopes which they don't need anymore for important research and took pictures of glowing falling stars 🙂 Yeah! And, like always, invented a nice story about it. Great! Awesome! Astounding! Fabulous!
