NASA JPL オープンソース

NASAアメリカ航空宇宙局（National Aeronautics and Space Administration）、JPL（Jet Propulsion Laboratory）。

JPLは、Caltechカリフォルニア工科大学（California Institute of Technology）も加わり、NASAの無人探査機等の研究開発などをする研究機関。

そんなJPL（Jet Propulsion Laboratory）が火星探査機キュリオシティローバー（Curiosity Rover）のオープンソース（Open Source）を公開。

Dozens of images collected by the Mars Hand Lens Imager #MAHLI were used to put together this perspective of #Curiosity. This image collected at the 'Big Sky' drilling site is pointed toward the west-northwest. Looking in the lower left corner you can see grey dust and a 0.63in/1.6cm diameter hole from a recent drill operation. This image was composed on Sol 1126 (2015-10-06).

What’s Up for August 2018 NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory

What's up in the night sky this month? The best meteor shower of the year! The Perseids peak on a moonless summer night –from 4 p.m. on the 12th until 4 a.m. on the 13th EDT. Thanks to a new moon, the days before and after the peak will also provide nice, dark skies. The best time to look for shooting stars is from a few hours after twilight until dawn on the days surrounding the peak.
