20231107_zia_a189_439 November 7, 2023, unknown: HANDOUT - his image shows: Globular cluster NGC 6397. The European Space Agency's (ESA) Euclid space mission unveiled its first five full-colour images of the cosmos on Tuesday, November 7, 2023. Launched in July, Euclid is a cutting-edge telescope tasked with mapping a third of the extragalactic sky, shedding light on how dark matter and dark energy shape our universe. This ambitious mission is unique in its ability to capture razor-sharp astronomical images across a vast expanse of the sky, offering unprecedented insights into the far reaches of the universe. The initial set of images serves as a testament to Euclid's unparalleled capability to construct the most extensive 3D map of the universe to date. Among the images, the most captivating is a panoramic view of the Horsehead Nebula, also known as Barnard 33, situated in the Orion constellation approximately 1,375 light-years away. The nebula, with its striking equine shape, stands as the nearest giant star-forming region to Earth. Positioned just south of the prominent star Alnitak, part of Orion's iconic three-star belt, the Horsehead Nebula is a component of the expansive Orion molecular cloud. While various telescopes have previously captured images of the Horsehead Nebula, none have matched Euclid's exceptional ability to deliver a sharp, wide, and detailed view with just a single observation. Remarkably, Euclid achieved this breathtaking image in just one hour, underscoring its mission's capacity to swiftly capture a previously uncharted portion of the sky. The Euclid team also shared an image of the Perseus Cluster, a congregation of galaxies located 240 million light-years away. Notably, the shimmering specks in the image are not stars but galaxies, some of which had never been observed before.

20230731_zia_c218_015 July 31, 2023, Elkton, Maryland, United States: VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE**..NASAâ??s Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV) recently reached some major milestones in support of the Mars Sample Return program. The team developing MAV conducted successful tests of the first and second stage solid rocket motors needed for the launch. .This image and this video footage shows a development motor based on the second-stage solid rocket motor design for NASAâ??s Mars Ascent Vehicle undergoes testing March 29, 2023, at Northrop Grummanâ??s facility in Elkton, Maryland. The two-stage MAV rocket is an important part of the joint plan between NASA and ESA to bring scientifically-selected Martian samples to Earth in the early 2030s..Managed at NASAâ??s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, MAV is currently set to launch in June 2028, with the samples set to arrive on Earth in the early 2030s. .The vehicle will travel aboard the Sample Retrieval Lander during launch from Earth, a two-year journey to Mars, and nearly a year of receiving samples collected by Perseverance..After the Sample Transfer Arm on the lander loads the samples from Perseverance into a sample container in the nose of the rocket, the MAV will launch from Mars into orbit around the planet, releasing the sample container for the Earth Return Orbiter to capture..The MAV launch will be accomplished using two solid rocket motors â?? SRM1 and SRM2. SRM1 will propel MAV away from the Red Planetâ??s surface, while SRM2 will spin MAVâ??s second stage to place the sample container in the correct Mars orbit, allowing the Earth Return Orbiter to find it. .To test the solid rocket motor designs, the MAV team prepared development motors. This allowed the team to see how the motors will perform and if any adjustments should be made before they are built for the mission. The SRM2 development motor was tested on March 29, 2023, at the (Credit Image: © Cover Imag
