Cool Art: 'Historic Robotic Spacecraft' Poster Series by Chop Shop

'Historic Robotic Spacecraft' is a Kickstarter poster series by Chop Shop that celebrates the most popular and notable interplanetary NASA robotic space missions - Voyager, Cassini/Huygens and Curiosity.

Each space mission poster was chosen through an online poll and will be screen-printed in a minimum of three colors by Vahalla Studios, and there are various other perks in this campaign, including T shirts, additional prints and even membership to The Planetary Society, which was founded in 1980 by Carl Sagan, Bruce Murray, and Louis Friedman.

There's just under a week to go and the campaign is fully funded with the total currently just over $17k. But the more you pledge the more prints that become available through their stretch goals.

If they go over $22K, they will design and print the fourth most popular mission from the Planetary Society poll: The Mars Exploration Rovers; Opportunity and Spirit.

Go over $28K, and the fifth most popular mission from the Planetary Society poll: Sputnik will be designed and printed.

And if they go over $34K, they will design and print a poster celebrating The Planetary Society itself and donate 300 copies to them for sale on their own site to help support the institution and their goals.

Cool Video: The Transit Of Venus from NASA

I would recommend you watch this in HD and embiggen to full screen!

Awesome stuff.



Launched on Feb. 11, 2010, the Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, is the most advanced spacecraft ever designed to study the sun. During its five-year mission, it will examine the sun's atmosphere, magnetic field and also provide a better understanding of the role the sun plays in Earth's atmospheric chemistry and climate.  SDO provides images with resolution 8 times better than high-definition television and returns more than a terabyte of data each day.

On June 5 2012, SDO collected images of the rarest predictable solar event--the transit of Venus across the face of the sun.  This event happens in pairs eight years apart that are separated from each other by 105 or 121 years.  The last transit was in 2004 and the next will not happen until 2117.

The videos and images displayed here are constructed from several wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light and a portion of the visible spectrum.  The red colored sun is the 304 angstrom ultraviolet, the golden colored sun is 171 angstrom, the magenta sun is 1700 angstrom, and the orange sun is filtered visible light.  304 and 171 show the atmosphere of the sun, which does not appear in the visible part of the spectrum.

Neil deGrasse Tyson - We Stopped Dreaming

Personally, I find Science and the people who do it very inspiring. People like Neil deGrasse Tyson, Phil Plait, Carolyn Porco, Brian Cox, Patrick Moore, Carl Sagan and many more. Whenever I see them do interviews they are always so passionate about what they do, you can't help but be inspired too!

Here's a couple of inspiring videos featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson.





It's always entertaining when Neil and Stephen Colbert get together. This well worth checking out as well.
