Charman et al. (1971) asked whether the LF were the result of single cosmic-ray nuclei entering the eye and directly exciting the eyes of the astronauts, as opposed to the result of Cherenkov radiation within the retina. The researchers had observers view a neutron beam, composed of either 3 or 14 MeV monoenergetic neutrons, in several ...
Astronauts on board the International Space Station are treated to stunning views of Earth on a near daily basis, but a 'red sprite' could impress even the most jaded space traveler. The spectacle ...

NASA's Goddard Space Center proposed an instrument that uses the lobster-eye design for the ISS-TAO mission (Transient Astrophysics Observatory on the International Space Station), called the X-ray Wide-Field Imager. [3] ISS-Lobster is a similar concept by ESA. [19] Several space telescopes that use lobster-eye optics are under construction.
The highest number of people at the same time on one space station has been 13, first achieved with the eleven day docking to the ISS of the 127th Space Shuttle mission in 2009. The record for most people on all space stations at the same time has been 17, first on May 30, 2023, with 11 people on the ISS and 6 on the TSS. [2]
Sprites or red sprites are large-scale electric discharges that occur in the mesosphere, high above thunderstorm clouds, or cumulonimbus, giving rise to a varied range of visual shapes flickering in the night sky.
A fictitious color or imaginary color is a point in a color space that corresponds to combinations of cone cell responses in one eye that cannot be produced by the eye in normal circumstances seeing any possible light spectrum. [4] No physical object can have an imaginary color.
An astronaut’s tool bag that accidentally floated away during a routine spacewalk at the International Space Station is now orbiting Earth and may be bright enough to spot by keen-eyed skywatchers.
