Strange But True

Monday marked 46 years since the Apollo 11 lunar module was landed on the moon by Neil Armstrong with fellow astronaut Buzz Aldrin as fellow Astronaut Michael Collins stayed in and piloted the Command Module to secure their way home. As a teenage boy, this sealed my interest and obsession with space and space travel.  These guys were and are real heroes of the Human Race. Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins & Buzz Aldrin I can't believe there are still people out there who felt and still feel it was a massive, expensive hoax hoisted on the world to hide the money being spent in Vietnam. SO I HAVE A CUNNING PLAN What would be really cool is, before they decommission the Humble Telescope or power it down they should: turn it to face the moon and train it on the Apollo 11 landing site broadcast the entire event live across the world then train it on the other landing sites finally point it at the space station so that we can watch the space station...

Fly Over video of Pluto's Ice Mountains getting closer with each pass, over the next few weeks more and more of the surface images will become available in ever great detail.  As somebody pointed out the cost of this mission 9.5 years the team the craft the flight divide by the distance 3 Billion Miles comes out at around 22 cents per mile and the further it travels the cheaper it will become ;-) And successive governments have reduce their investment in space. If you think they should be doing more, for future missions for the children of the future, share this post. #fixed1t

Here is a section of Pluto's southern hemisphere as photographed by New Horizons as is shot towards Pluto.  The detail is stunning. Interestingly it looks like a close-up of a huge whales head complete with eye and barnacles. This science is brilliant.  What we also know now is that should humans decide to explore space, there is a massive energy source at Pluto, like a huge filling station. The question is where is the methane coming from, methane is usually a by product of life. #fixed1t

+Charmedone9805 Hi, Thanks for watching the video and leaving a comment.   That giant heart shaped piece reminds me of scare tissue on a big deep wound.  Its as if something huge impacted to the left and an enormous section was fired into space, not too far as it formed the Moon Charon. and the semi molten Pluto smoothed over the area as it released whatever was below.   Also it appears they are made of similar materials. The questions remains where were they formed? Malcolm (aka fixed1t) #fixed1t

NASA has released amazing false colour images from New Horizons 'Ralph' and 'Alice' instruments. These images use false colour to highlight the diverse composition of Pluto and its large moon Charon. Read more about it here #fixed1t

Almost there, 3 billion miles and 9 year old technology and the images are stunning, can't wait for the close up images tomorrow.  Who says money on space exploration is wasted.  The cost must now work out at .0000001 cent a mile of something even smaller.

Great fly over of Pluto's moon from the latest New Horizons mission images. #fixed1t

Amazing new footage from NASA New Horizons showing the red pluto and its moon which I've converted into an Ambient Fly Over. Malcolm aka #fixed1t

Another amazing NASA Mission is nearing its conclusion at Pluto, its amazing to think a mission started 9 years ago is still working and bring humans more knowledge of this tiny enclave of the insignificant galaxy we call home. #fixed1t

Given the popularity of my CERES videos and the fact I now have over 250 fixed1t videos in the fixed1t YouTube channel, I've decided to put the CERES videos in there own Playlist. This is for two reasons: I had difficulty showing a video to a friend as there are so many I plan to do more 'Information Videos' on CERES I plan to do some videos on the NASA 'DAWN' mission. Here is the link to all my CERES videos, please bookmark it and share it. Astronomy - CERES Movies Thanks #fixed1t

I found some stunning colour footage of CERES and converted it into a Flyover Movie, its stunning, but I haven't been able to find the Google Map for it ;-) Point Of Interest '3-Mile Pyramid' or Super Volcano lol

Ceres 3-Mile High Pyramid or Volcano - Could There Be Life On It? Not human life but so-called Extremophiles. What are they? Well The 26th June 2015 BBC Radio 4 Programme 'In Our Time' chaired by Melvyn Bragg will explain with speakers: Monica Grady Professor of Planetary and Space Sciences at the Open University Ian Crawford Professor of Planetary Science and Astrobiology at Birkbeck University of London Nick Lane Reader in Evolutionary Biochemistry at University College London Link To In Our Time - Extremophiles The discussion was about Extremophiles and group of  organism s  that thrive in physically or geochemically  extreme conditions  that are detrimental to most  life on Earth . [1] [2]  In contrast, organisms that live in more moderate environments may be termed  mesophiles or  neutrophiles .  They were first identified in 1977 when the submersible 'ALVIN' was used to go down to over 2000 metres off the G...

I love the effects of Zooming in on the Ceres Pyramid accompanied by a few minutes of my Ambient Composition 'Surface Noise'. It just adds to the suspense.

It's interesting to see the photos from the Nasa Probe to Ceres which is a small 'Dwarf Planet' in the Asteroid Belt.  There is much controversy about the nature of the reflections in some craters: which are shown in the data from the instruments on board the probe, most likely simple chemical reflections.  The odd thing is the 3-mile high Pyramid shaped mountain which has been seen: and a planetoid which is otherwise quite flat. Fact is often stranger than fiction. #fixed1t
