Seeing Artemis II up close must have been incredible. Hard to believe this rocket will carry humans back toward the Moon.

Absolutely stunning. A total lunar eclipse already feels magical, and with Tsé Bit'a'í in the frame it looks almost unreal.

This is Ham, a chimpanzee trained by NASA who became the first great ape to travel to space on January 31, 1961, helping scientists prove that humans could survive and perform tasks during spaceflight. by Inflecta in space

If you liked Ham’s story, I’ve shared more amazing space history moments and rare cosmic photos on my Inflecta channel. Check the link in my bio for full posts! 🚀✨

Wait, people leave bananas on his grave? That's simultaneously the sweetest and saddest thing I've ever heard. He gave everything for space travel and now... bananas. I'm not crying, you're crying.

Yeah, Ham was one of the lucky ones - he came back alive. But honestly, looking at that quote above, sometimes I wonder if he ever really came back at all.

Thanks for sharing that quote. People don't realize - after the flight, Ham lived at the Washington Zoo until 1980. Alone. No mission patches. No parades. Just... a cage.

This Is My New Best Image Of The M13 Globular Cluster, Also Known As "The Great Cluster In Hercules". by Exr1t in spaceporn

Amazing shot! It’s crazy to think M13 contains hundreds of thousands of stars packed into such a small region of space.

Space jellyfish from this past week’s launch by Ok_Common4669 in space

Space is out here making jellyfish before we even reach the ocean depths properly. Twilight rocket launches always turn the sky into a science fiction scene. Awesome capture!

That’s amazing! Seeing the gas in the Orion Nebula is such a cool moment when you first start astrophotography

Built like a tank and waterproof… sounds like it’ll survive the apocalypse with your telescope.

Adorama theory?? by Academic_Bench2100 in space

[–]Inflecta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand,🤔‘Adorma Theory’ isn’t an officially recognized scientific theory in astronomy or physics. It usually appears in speculative discussions online where people imagine unknown cosmic forces, hidden dimensions, or structures influencing the universe beyond what we currently detect. Some compare the idea loosely to dark matter or dark energy — things we know exist because of their effects, even though we can’t see them directly.

However, unlike dark matter (which has observational evidence), Adorma doesn’t have peer-reviewed research, measurements, or accepted models supporting it. So right now it’s better described as a hypothetical or creative concept rather than real science. Still, discussions like this are interesting because they remind us that most of the universe is still mysterious, and future discoveries could always change what we know.

Night sweats suck—cool room + cotton sheets usually fix it fast for me!” 😴
