Wait for it... 💥 Why did engineers push this rocket tank beyond its limits — on purpose?
This is an exact copy of the liquid hydrogen tank used on our Space Launch System (@NASA_SLS) rocket, which will fly #Artemis missions to the Moon. A team from @NASA_Marshall and Boeing put the tank in a 215-foot-tall test stand, fitted it with sensors and simulated the stress a rocket will experience during launch and flight.
After millions of pounds of compression, tension and bending forces — 260% more than expected flight loads — engineers detected a buckling point, which then ruptured. "This data will benefit all aerospace companies designing rocket tanks,” said the SLS tank's lead engineer. This test will help safely and efficiently evolve the rocket's design for future space missions.

Turn the sound on and hear the roar of a Dragon taking flight 🔥🐉
A @SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft is on its way to the @iss after launching from Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 12:29 p.m. EST on Thursday, Dec. 5. Dragon will arrive Sunday, Dec. 8, delivering more than 5,700 pounds of crew supplies and science investigations, including studies of malting barley in microgravity, the spread of fire, and bone and muscle loss.

This month starts off with a lovely string of pearls — with Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and the crescent Moon forming a lineup at dusk on December 1st. Plan to sky gaze throughout the month to see beautiful pairings of planets and the crescent Moon, at sunrise and sunset.
Watch this video to discover when and where to look to see Venus, Saturn and Mars! 🔭🌟🪐

Did this debris shield spark joy?
Sometimes you need to let go of what no longer serves you!
On the first spacewalk to repair the International Space Station's cosmic particle detector, @AstroDrewMorgan and @europeanspaceagency astronaut Luca Parmitano removed a debris shield to access the work site. It was too big to take inside, so the best option was to jettison it behind @iss, where it will disintegrate in the upper atmosphere. This video was taken on Nov. 15.
On Friday, Nov. 22, the two astronauts will once again venture into the vacuum of space to resume repair work on the particle detector, called the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer. Watch live coverage starting at 5:30am ET on nasa.gov/live.

Виж една история, която може да спаси живот – твоя или на твой близък човек. 😔 Историята на Весела от филма Доза Щастие може да ти звучи далечна, но всъщност е реална и може да се случи на всеки от нас. Благодарим на обичаните актьори Aleksandar Aleksiev/Александър Алексиев и Силвия Лулчева, които ни разказват какво е да бъдеш в капана на зависимостите и как чрез изборите, които правиш всеки ден, ти пишеш своята история. 📝👇 Гледай филма по действителен случай Доза Щастие от 8 ноември по кината. 🎬

Tiny planet Mercury transits the Sun 👀
On Nov. 11, Mercury crossed between Earth and the Sun - a rare event we won't be able to see again until 2032. Our Solar Dynamics Observatory, which views the Sun in a variety of wavelengths of light in the extreme ultraviolet, tracked Mercury's journey.

Имаш контролно, но всичко, което си учил, магически се е изпарило? 😱 В Уча.се можеш да гледаш видео уроците с до два пъти по-бърза скорост ⏱ и за нула време да си преговориш всичко най-важно. Ако пък имаш нужда от повече време, за да осмислиш урока, можеш да забавиш скоростта. 🐢 С Уча.се имаш време за всичко! 😉
There's no better way to get into the festive spirit than visiting a magical European Christmas market ❤️🎄
