    Space Images | A Decade of Compiling the Sharpest Mars Map
    https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/details.php?id=PIA21487

    The Context Camera (CTX) on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has been taking images of Mars for more than 10 years, sharp enough
    to show the shapes of features as small as a tennis court. The compiled images from CTX now cover more than 99 percent of Mars.

    No other camera has ever shown us so much of Mars in such high resolution.

    This animation tracks how the coverage accumulated over the period from late 2006 to early 2017 to form a nearly complete map of Mars.
    Each frame adds the locations of one month's worth of CTX observations.

    Asteroid 2017 FJ101 to flyby Earth at 0.83 LD
    https://watchers.news/2017/03/29/asteroid-2017-fj101/

    A newly discovered asteroid designated 2017 FJ101 will flyby Earth at a distance of 0.83 LD (~318 720 km) from the surface
    of our planet on Thursday, March 30, 2017. This is the 13th asteroid to flyby Earth within 1 lunar distance since January 9.

    When Kodak Accidentally Discovered A-Bomb Testing
    http://www.popularmechanics.com/...rgy/a21382/how-kodak-accidentally-discovered-radioactive-fallout/
    Two thousand miles away from the U.S. A-bomb tests in 1945, something weird was happening to Kodak's film.

    The ground shook, a brilliant white flash enveloped the sky, and the world changed forever. Code name "Trinity," the bomb test at dawn on July 16, 1945
    in Alamogordo, New Mexico was the first large-scale atomic weapons testing in history. Only three weeks later two atomic bombs were dropped on Japan.

    More than 1,900 miles away from Alamogordo, at the Rochester, NY headquarters of Eastman Kodak, a flood of complaints came in from business customers
    who had recently purchased sensitive X-ray film from the company. Black exposed spots on the film, or "fogging," had rendered it unusable. This perplexed
    many Kodak scientists, who had gone to great lengths to prevent contaminations like this.

    Juno’s Latest Flight Over Jupiter’s South Pole | Lights in the Dark
    https://lightsinthedark.com/2017/03/29/junos-latest-flight-over-jupiters-south-pole/

    On Monday, March 27, at 4:52 a.m. EDT (08:52 UTC) NASA’s Juno spacecraft made its fifth close pass of Jupiter,
    passing about 4,400 km above the planet’s clouds while traveling at a relative speed of 57.8 kilometers per second.
    The images above, captured with the JunoCam instrument, show the giant planet’s south pole during this P5 pass.

    Satellite galaxies at edge of Milky Way coexist with dark matter
    https://phys.org/news/2017-03-satellite-galaxies-edge-milky-coexist.html

    Research conducted by scientists at Rochester Institute of Technology rules out a challenge to the accepted
    standard model of the universe and theory of how galaxies form by shedding new light on a problematic structure.

    The vast polar structure—a plane of satellite galaxies at the poles of the Milky Way—is at the center of a tug-of-war
    between scientists who disagree about the existence of mysterious dark matter, the invisible substance that, according
    to some scientists, comprises 85 percent of the mass of the universe.

    The coldest place in the universe marks a double stellar grave | New Scientist
    https://www.newscientist.com/...-200-the-coldest-place-in-the-universe-marks-a-double-stellar-grave/

    THE coldest place in the universe marks the grave of two stars. So says a team that trained the ALMA telescope on the spot, known as the Boomerang Nebula.

    Point a telescope almost anywhere in the cosmos and you’ll see that it is at 2.7 kelvin – cold enough to freeze hydrogen on Earth. But one spot is even colder –
    the Boomerang Nebula, 5000 light years away in the constellation Centaurus. Here the temperature is 0.1 kelvin, or just above absolute zero. A mystery for years,
    astronomers can now see that this cosmic winter was caused by a stellar duo’s violent death.

    When small stars perish, they expand and create glowing shells of ionised gas, called planetary nebulae. But when astronomers observed the Boomerang Nebula in 1995,
    they saw something quite odd. It’s the only known object in the universe to absorb light from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) – the afterglow of the big bang
    that keeps the universe 2.7 degrees above absolute zero. That means the nebula must be even colder.

    Wrong-way asteroid plays ‘chicken’ with Jupiter - Media Relations
    https://mediarelations.uwo.ca/2017/03/29/wrong-way-asteroid-plays-chicken-jupiter/

    The asteroid, nicknamed Bee-Zed, is the only one in this solar system that’s known both to have an opposite, retrograde orbit around the sun while
    at the same time sharing a planet’s orbital space, says researcher and co-author Paul Wiegert of Western’s Department of Physics and Astronomy.

    All but 82 of the million or so known asteroids in our solar system travel around the sun in what’s called a prograde motion: that is, counter-
    clockwise when visualized from above. But asteroid 2015 BZ509 (“Bee-Zed” for short) circles clockwise, in a retrograde motion – moving against
    the flow of all other asteroids in the giant planet’s orbital entourage.

    Subaru telescope detects shadow of gas cloud in ancient proto-supercluster
    https://phys.org/news/2017-03-subaru-telescope-shadow-gas-cloud.html

    A team led by researchers from Osaka Sangyo University, with members from Tohoku University, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and others, has used the Suprime-Cam
    on the Subaru Telescope to create the most-extensive map of neutral hydrogen gas in the early universe. This cloud appears widely spread out across 160 million light-years
    in and around a structure called the proto-supercluster. It is the largest structure in the distant universe, and existed some 11.5 billion years ago. Such a huge gas cloud
    is extremely valuable for studying large-scale structure formation and the evolution of galaxies from gas in the early universe, and merits further investigation.

    "We are surprised because the dense gas structure is extended much more than expected in the proto-supercluster," said Dr. Mawatari. "Wider field observations with
    narrow-band filters are needed to grasp full picture of this largest structure in the young Universe. This is exactly the type of strong research that can be done with
    Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) recently mounted at the Subaru Telescope. We intend to study the gas - galaxy relation in various proto-superclusters using the HSC."

    environmental testing on the telescope. These tests are merely two of the many that spacecraft and instruments endure to ensure they are fit for spaceflight.
