My Awesome Thang. The Rest Is Under The Cut

i made another hehe

fucking love cargo pants. are they ugly? yes. do i care? no. they have pocketssssss and i fucking love pockets. like fuck yeah pockets

Hubble Space Telescope: Exploring the Cosmos and Making Life Better on Earth

In the 35 years since its launch aboard space shuttle Discovery, the Hubble Space Telescope has provided stunning views of galaxies millions of light years away. But the leaps in technology needed for its look into space has also provided benefits on the ground. Here are some of the technologies developed for Hubble that have improved life on Earth.

Image Sensors Find Cancer

Charge-coupled device (CCD) sensors have been used in digital photography for decades, but Hubble’s Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph required a far more sensitive CCD. This development resulted in improved image sensors for mammogram machines, helping doctors find and treat breast cancer.

Laser Vision Gives Insights

In preparation for a repair mission to fix Hubble’s misshapen mirror, Goddard Space Flight Center required a way to accurately measure replacement parts. This resulted in a tool to detect mirror defects, which has since been used to develop a commercial 3D imaging system and a package detection device now used by all major shipping companies.

Optimized Hospital Scheduling

A computer scientist who helped design software for scheduling Hubble’s observations adapted it to assist with scheduling medical procedures. This software helps hospitals optimize constantly changing schedules for medical imaging and keep the high pace of emergency rooms going.

Optical Filters Match Wavelengths and Paint Swatches

For Hubble’s main cameras to capture high-quality images of stars and galaxies, each of its filters had to block all but a specific range of wavelengths of light. The filters needed to capture the best data possible but also fit on one optical element. A company contracted to construct these filters used its experience on this project to create filters used in paint-matching devices for hardware stores, with multiple wavelengths evaluated by a single lens.

HI EVERYONE HAPPY BELATED JUICE DAY (2 days late? sorry chat)

heh 2nd post ever i think im getting the hang of thiss tumblr thinggggg,,, but sm i dont get is why do ppl use tags 2 say some stuff ? is it like a “p.s.” kinda thing people do in letters or do u just do it cause it looks cool?? ahhh whatver maby some thing better left unanswerd

HI GUYS AND HAPPY HUBBLE DAY!!! longest 3 days ever waiting for my goat to turn 35. happy birthday, hubble

i love hubble so much bro i keep learning random facts about hubble that are so cool and im like “oh my god hubble you are so cool!!” and then start crying into my pillow,,, i would very much like to see more him in 20021 💔

“I’m back to feed you more MB art!” I say, as if it’s not all of you feeding me with all of your perfect comments in my tags 👀

Anyway I messed around with somethin’ a little retro looking because I really wanna make a print in the style of the NASA travel posters but Murderbot.

hi Guys?! so like what if the james webb space telescope was in 17776 ? what would their relationship be with the hubble space telescope in that universe

im thinking like. maybe the trope where like. they talk shit to each other but around other people they’re like “yeah hubble/webb is pretty goated” and “are you really trying to insult my bro. only i can do that” ,,,, like siblings idk..

or maybe they’re like best friends or sm, whenever one takes an image the other is like “HOLY SHIT this is so cool!!”

or maybe it would be more like a one sided thing (then hubble is the guy who doesn’t rlly gaf)

webb could be the self absorbed guy nobody likes that always talks about taking superior images, while hubble js tries to watch the damn football game

or, webb looking up to hubble, like, a lot, despite getting more praise and stuff. hubble is past the um. attention and glory, sees webb as equal/better

IDK!! I CAN’T DECIDE ANYTHING FOR MYSELF!!

appreciating baby pictures of the hubble telescope on her 34th bday

Murderbot is such a neurodivergent power fantasy. It can

- store unlimited media and watch it privately

- turn down sensory organs that are bothering it

- look at stuff without its eyes

- cross reference its data storage when it doesn't know what to say

- program "human-like behavior"

- super duper kill the shit out of anyone that fucks with it

ESA (juice people) HAS A MASCOT?? AND ITS A SILLY LITTLE CIRCLE GUY ? ?

AHHHHHH LOOK AT THEM MAN,, I WOULD LIKE DIE FOR THIS ALIEN??chat why didnt anyone tell me about this guy earlier 💔 ugh they are so cute DRAWING THEM RIGHTnow
