  1. Astronautul Charles Duke, unul dintre oamenii care au pășit pe 🌙#Lună, vine la #București pentru SpaceFEST 2026. Politehnica inaugurează o placă dedicată misiunii 🚀#Apollo16.

  2. Here's a quick video analysis tutorial with Tracker and using calibration point-pairs for a video with a moving camera. In this case, it's looking at the acceleration of the #apollo16 lunar rover. #physics

  3. By extension, #TomStafford holds the record as person who is credited with the record as he was commander of the #spaceship but it also goes to #JohnYoung and #GeneCernan too. Another interesting fact is that the latter two also commanded their own #Moon missions and actually got to walk on it on #Apollo16 and #Apollo17.

  4. A map of all the Apollo missions on a full moon picture taken by Dobviews using a Galaxy A14/17.3 Delos lens on a 10" Dobsonian telescope.

    All of the corresponding close-up pictures of those landing are from NASA's Lunar Reconnaisance Orbiter.

  5. On April 16, 1972, Apollo 16 launched to the Moon! Astronauts John Young & Charles Duke used the Lunar Rover to explore the Descartes Highlands and brought back over 200 pounds of lunar rock. A key milestone in space exploration!

  6. Astronaut #JohnGlenn took Sea-Monkeys into space on October 29, 1998, aboard Space Shuttle Discovery during mission #STS-95. After nine days in space, they were returned to Earth and hatched eight weeks later, apparently unaffected by their travels.[7] However, earlier experiments on #Apollo16 and #Apollo17, where the eggs (along with other biological systems in a state of rest, such as spores, seeds, and cysts) traveled to the Moon and back and were exposed to significant cosmic rays, observed a high sensitivity to cosmic radiation in the Artemia salina eggs; only 10% of the embryos which were induced to develop from eggs survived to adulthood. The most-common mutations found during the developmental stages of the irradiated eggs were deformations of the abdomen or deformations on the swimming-appendages and naupliar eye of the nauplius.[10]

  10. El gran Charlie Duke, piloto de la misión #Apollo16, reunido con equipos de @[email protected] y astronautas de la @[email protected] para enseñarles como se aterriza en la Luna.

  11. John Watts Young war ein Astronaut der Superlative: Nicht weniger als vier verschiedene Raumfahrzeuge hat er in sechs Weltraummissionen gesteuert.

  12. Am 21. April 1972 landete die Mission Apollo 16 auf dem Mond. John Young und Charles Duke setzten nahe des Descartes-Kraters im Hochland auf. Die vier vorherigen Apollo-Missionen waren in den geologisch etwas jüngeren Lava-Ebenen gelandet.
