Score One for NASA

by Hondo••27

NASA has been busy.  And this time, “They done good”.

What am I talking about, you ask?  Well, here ya go:

In case you don’t recognize at first glance what’s shown above, perhaps this might help.

 

This article has further details. It’s a relatively short article, and the animated sequence alone found there IMO is worth the time it takes to read the article.

Well done, NASA.  Damn well done.

    1. NASA: Justine lighting things on fire and seeing how high they’ll go since 1958!

      1. Gaaaahd dammit, I just caught that. For some reason, the iphone decided “just” should be “Justine.” WTF?

  4. Do you notice anything unusual about that photograph and the animated video?

    You can clearly see the distinctive shape of the continents of North America and Australia.

    But, where’s South America?

    All I see there is blue ocean.

    1. You can sort of see the edge of Brazil at the beginning. The rest Im assuming is cloud cover. Ir a giant conspiracy and SA never existed in the first place

      2. Yep. It’s right there where it’s always been – way farther east of North America than most folks know.

        1. Bingo. The westernmost point in South America is about as far east as Tampa, Florida. Most of that continent is farther east than the easternmost point in CONUS.

            1. I remember the lesson I had in Geography when I was in fifth grade that taught us about the difference between world maps and how it appears on a globe, good stuff!

          2. I believe Bogota, Colombia, which is in the Western part of SA, is in the same time zone as New York.

            1. Actually, Bogota is close to due south of NYC – but is in the Columbia Time Zone, which is UCT +5 year-round (tropical nation). Since it doesn’t observe DST, it’s currently the same time as CDT, not EDT. It’s the same as EST during the winter.

          3. Which is why the Portuguese ended up with Brazil when the Pope was dividing things up between the Iberians.

    2. Since Obama emptied all of its people on to our shores, NASA airbrushed it out. They call that plausible deniability.

    1. “There is no dark side in the moon, really. Matter of fact, it’s all dark.”

      (smile)

      1. That’s the way they like it. That’s the way the aliens *want* you to think.

        😀 😀

  7. Way cool Hondo. Thank you! Just fired up the stereo and linked my laptop copy of “Dark Side of the Moon” to it. Now we’ll all know where the aliens are from and where all the Bermuda Triangle folks went.
