The Sun’s 11-year solar cycle is more than just a cosmic dance 🌞
It shapes space weather and impacts life on Earth! From dazzling auroras to powerful solar flares, its activity keeps us on our toes.

At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, members of the Final Inspection Team, also known as the “Ice Team,” performs a walkdown of Kennedy’s Launch Pad 39A during space shuttle Atlantis’ STS-132 launch countdown on May 14. The six-member team walks on every level of the pad’s fixed service structure, inspecting the shuttle, external fuel tank, solid rocket boosters, pad structure and ground equipment for signs of ice buildup, debris or anything else that might be amiss prior to launch. As part of the inspection, photos are taken and transmitted to the launch team for review.
A videographer for NASA was included as a member of the team to capture the first-ever up close, high-definition video of this important and hazardous inspection process.
