Mikulski Archive For Space Telescopes

You know I love science.

Especially about

Outer Space.

The

Stars,

the newly discovered

Exoplanets,

and the little green

Aliens.

Well,

we haven't found any

Aliens

yet,

but if you are interested in looking at the

Data

for yourself coming from telescopes like

K2,

Tess,

JWST, 

and

HST,

have I found a website for you!

It's called

Mast.

Or the

Mikulski Archive For Space Telescopes.

Here is an example of what you will find on this site.

This is a picture taken by the

HST,

or the

Hubble Space Telescope.

It's a collection of everything the

Hubble Telescope

has seen so far.

But if you are a really

Geeky

kind of person,

you will also see a lot of this kind of stuff.

>>> from astroquery.mast import Observations

>>> obs_table = Observations.query_object("M8",radius=".02 deg")
>>> data_products_by_obs = Observations.get_product_list(obs_table[0:2])
>>> print(data_products_by_obs)

>>> print((data_products_by_obs == data_products_by_id).all())
True

So hop onboard.

Maybe you'll discover an

Atmosphere

on an

Exoplanet

by deciphering all the data.

There is so much data to go through that

NASA Scientists

can't go through it all!

This is,

After The Wall,

I Am Going To Build A Dome.

No Little Green Aliens Are Getting Into This Country Without Getting A Green Card!

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“If the government is covering up knowledge of aliens, they are doing a better job of it than they do at anything else.”
- Stephen Hawking -

 

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
