* Celebrating 45 Years Since the Moon Landing



In keeping with the Apollo 11 45th Anniversary celebrations, Suzy Webb has compiled this list of three cool videos below.
  • SciShow Space celebrates the 45th anniversary of the first moon landing by highlighting just four of the most important things we learned from the Apollo 11 mission. Video (4:54)
  • If you'd like to re-live the moment, you can catch the audio here. This is the actual conversation between Houston and the astronauts as Neil got ready to step on the moon. Video (9:36)
  • And lastly this is very cool- The Apollo 11 Moon Landing, re-cut to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: Space Odyssey. Video (6:25)

About the pic: Aldrin poses on the Moon, allowing Armstrong to photograph both of them using the visor's reflection.


* Getting Excited about the James Webb Telescope



The James Webb telescope is the successor to Hubble, and with a 6.4m wide primary mirror, it will be 100 times more capable than Hubble.

Orbiting at 1.6 million km from Earth, the James Webb will be so powerful that it will actually be able to see the first stars forming and the beginning of galaxies after the Big Bang.

Watch and learn in this video as the voice of Optimus Prime explains why it's so ground-breaking.


Thanks for reading! Keep looking up!
