The risks with #SpaceRadiation ☢️ are assigned the highest priority among all risks associated with #SpaceTravel. Active shielding 🛡️ methods, which use #electromagnetic fields to deflect charged particles, can make #DeepSpace 🌌 travel safer and more feasible. Placing the passive shielding before the active shielding is more effective than placing the identical active shielding before the passive shielding of the same thickness https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214552423000391

I’m pleasantly surprised by this baby scope, considering its specs and price point.

Blue Origin’s New Glenn launch with NASA’s Escapade mission to Mars was postponed due to weather.
The reusable rocket will test booster recovery and study the Martian atmosphere for future human missions.

The North America Nebula
====================

This is my latest image of the North America Nebula, a vast emission region in Cygnus, about 2,600 light-years away. The resemblance to the North American continent is striking — even in the raw data, the “Gulf of Mexico” region glows vividly in hydrogen light.

Captured and processed in the HOO palette (Hydrogen–Oxygen–Oxygen), the image combines warm hydrogen tones with cool oxygen blues. This mapping brings out the delicate structures and ionization fronts hidden in the nebula — the areas where newborn stars sculpt their surroundings with light and wind.

The dark band cutting across the nebula is a dense molecular cloud (L935), blocking the light behind it. Inside these dusty regions, new stars are still forming — invisible in visible light but revealed through narrowband imaging.

Every time I process this region, I’m reminded of how alive our galaxy is — constantly building, shaping, and recycling itself.
