NASA (USA) is moving forward with a new focus for the manned space program:
to go out beyond Earth orbit for purposes of human exploration and scientific discovery.
The International Space Station is now a stepping stone on the way, rather than being the end of the line.
Сша движется вперед с новым направлением для пилотируемых космических программ:
выйти за орбитой Земли для целей человеческого разведке и научных открытий.
Международная космическая станция в настоящее время является ступенькой на пути, а не в конце строки.
CAUTION: SPACE STATION CONSTRUCTION ZONE
REDUCED SPEED AHEAD: 17,500 m.p.h. (28,000 k.p.h.)
The Cupola is an ESA-built observatory module of the International Space Station (ISS).
Once installed, it will provide ISS crew members with a direct view of robotic operations and docked spacecraft,
as well as an observation point for watching the Earth with sophisticated technology.
The International Space Station is the largest, most complex international scientific project in history and our largest adventure into space.
Международной космической станции является крупнейшим, наиболее сложных международных научных проектов в истории, и наша крупнейшая приключений в космосе. 国際宇宙ステーションの歴史の中で最も大きく、最も複雑な国際科学プロジェクト、宇宙での我々の最大の冒険です。

My dearest friend I wish you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! I will be gone for over a month flying to Greece to be with my Mom. So, I will not have computer access for at least a month. I will be thinking of you and wishing you the very best. Sending you much love and blessings. Libby xox
THE COLORS OF IC 1795 This colorful cosmic portrait features glowing gas and obscuring dust clouds in IC 1795, a star forming region in the northern constellation Cassiopeia. The nebula's colors were created by adopting the Hubble false-color palette for mapping narrow emission from oxygen, hydrogen, and sulfur atoms to blue, green and red colors, and further blending the data with images of the region recorded through broadband filters. Not far on the sky from the famous Double Star Cluster in Perseus, IC 1795 is itself located next to IC 1805, the Heart Nebula, as part of a complex of star forming regions that lie at the edge of a large molecular cloud. Located just over 6,000 light-years away, the larger star forming complex sprawls along the Perseus spiral arm of our Milky Way Galaxy. At that distance, this picture would span about 70 light-years across IC 1795.
HAVE A MAGICAL NEW WEEK MY DEARLY FRIEND MUCH LOVE & HAPPINESS. KISSES FROM FRANCE ☆~GALACTIC LOVE~☆ SaM
It's in the Eternity that, right now, It's Necessary to Live. And It'is right now that it is necessary to Live in the Eternity. That the Eternal Life, without the Consciousness all the time of this Duration Matters. If the Paradise is a Foretaste of Eternity in an Instant Present, then the Hell is an Eternity of Sorrow in an Instant Present. The Time stretches Infinitely. The Eternity contains us in its Breast. How to perceive it, to define it or to seize it, would it be Only a Moment ? But what imports the Eternity of the Damnation for whom the Infinity of the Enjoyment found in One Second ! It's the Thing of any Eternity when the Intellectual Friendship and of the Heart. It Nothing more is not Precious that the Time, because it's the Price of Eternity.

BRIGHT SUN AND CRESCENT EARTH FROM THE SPACE STATION This was just one more breathtaking view from the International Space Station. The Sun, a crescent Earth, and the long arm of a solar panel were all visible outside a window when the Space Shuttle Atlantis visited the orbiting outpost last week. Reflections from the window and hexagonal lens flares from the camera are superposed. The space shuttle landed Friday after a successful 10 day mission to expand and resupply the ISS. Numbered STS-129, the space shuttle mission returned astronaut Nicole Stott to Earth from her stay on the ISS as a Flight Engineer in the Expedition 20 and 21 crews.
HI my Dearly friend. I hope that you have a beautiful end of the week and that you're doing well ? From accross The Infinite Universe & My Galaxy, I wish you a MAGICAL Weekend. Blessing & Frenchy' Kisses ★~GALACTIC LOVE~★ SaM
ANNAPURNA STAR TRAILS In myth, Atlas holds up the heavens. But in this moonlit mountainscape, peaks of the Himalayan Annapurna Range appear to prop up the sky as seen from Ghandruk, Nepal. From left to right the three main peaks are Annapurna South (7,219 meters), Hiunchuli (6,441 metes), and Machapuchare (6,995 meters). Of course the mountains are moving not the stars, the Earth's rotation about its axis causing the concentric star trails recorded in the time exposure. Positioned above Annapurna South, the North Celestial Pole is easily identified as the point at the center of all the star trail arcs. The star Polaris, also known as the North Star, made the very short and bright arc closest to the North Celestial Pole.
Hello my Dearly friend, I hope that you had a relaxing sunday. With a million of Stars, I wish you a Fabulous Week. Much Blessing & Love from France ! ★~GALACTIC KISS~★ Sam

It's Necessary to Live.
And It'is right now that it is necessary to Live in the Eternity.
That the Eternal Life, without the Consciousness all the time of this Duration Matters.
If the Paradise is a Foretaste of Eternity in an Instant Present,
then the Hell is an Eternity of Sorrow in an Instant Present.
The Time stretches Infinitely.
The Eternity contains us in its Breast.
How to perceive it, to define it or to seize it, would it be Only a Moment ?
But what imports the Eternity of the Damnation
for whom the Infinity of the Enjoyment found in One Second !
It's the Thing of any Eternity when the Intellectual Friendship and of the Heart.
It Nothing more is not Precious that the Time,
because it's the Price
of Eternity.
I Wish you a Wonderful Night and a Fantastic Thursday my lovely friend.
