Description Astronaut Edward H. White, pilot for the Gemini IV spaceflight, floats in space during the first spacewalk by an American. The extravehicular activity, or spacewalk, was performed during the third Earth orbit of the Gemini IV mission. White is attached to the spacecraft by a 25-foot umbilical line and a 23-foot tether line, both wrapped in gold tape to form one cord. In his right hand White carries a Hand-Held Self-Maneuvering Unit. The visor of his helmet is gold-plated to protect him from the unfiltered rays of the sun.

Title Gemini 6 Views Gemini 7
Full Description NASA successfully completed its first rendezvous mission with two Gemini spacecraft-Gemini VII and Gemini VI-in December 1965. This photograph, taken by Gemini VII crewmembers Frank Lovell and Frank Borman, shows Gemini VI in orbit 160 miles (257 km) above Earth. The main purpose of Gemini VI, crewed by astronauts Walter Schirra and Thomas Stafford, was the rendezvous with Gemini VII. The main purpose of Gemini VII, on the other hand, was studying the long-term effects of long-duration (up to 14 days) space flight on a two-man crew. The pair also carried out 20 experiments, including medical tests. Although the principal objectives of both missions differed, they were both carried out so that NASA could master the technical challenges of getting into and working in space.

Bassett II, pilot, in space suits with their helmets on the table in front of them. On February 28, 1966 the prime crew for the Gemini 9 mission were killed when their twin seat T-38 trainer jet aircraft crashed into a building in which the Gemini spacecraft were being manufactured. They were on final approach to Lambert-Saint Louis Municipal Airport when bad weather conditions hampered pilot See's ability to make a good visual contact with the runway. Noticing the building at the last second as he came out of the low cloud cover, See went to full afterburner and attempted to nose-up the aircraft in an attempt to miss the building. He clipped it and his plane crashed.

Title NGC 6934 from Gemini North
Explanation What's going on near the center of globular cluster [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap981107.html ] NGC 6934? The blur caused by the Earth's atmosphere [ http://www.aspire.cs.uah.edu/~jonesj/r.html ] has prevented astronomers from discerning individual stars in this unusual environment. Telescopes in space [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap970306.html ] can help [ http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=1999AJ....117..264P ], but the new Gemini North telescope [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990629.html ] took the above picture [ http://www.gemini.edu/dedication/ngc6934.html ] from the ground. In infrared light [ http://www.ipac.caltech.edu/Outreach/Edu/discovery.html ], Gemini was able to use its adaptive optic mirrors [ http://claret.kpno.noao.edu/wiyn/wttm.html ] to resolve stars even near the globular cluster's center. NGC 6934 [ http://adsbit.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-iarticle_query?1973AJ.....78..242H ] is a 15 billion-year-old ball of hundreds of thousands of stars. Dating stars in ancient globular clusters [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990117.html ] like NGC 6934 provide valuable constraints on the minimum age of the universe [ http://www.ess.sunysb.edu/~simswg/siswg/node19.html ].

Title AFGL 2591: A Massive Star Acts Up
Explanation Young star AFGL 2591 is putting on a show. The massive star is expelling outer layers of dust [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010813.html ]-laced gas as gravity pulls inner material toward the surface. AFGL 2591 [ http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2000ApJ...541L..63M ] is estimated to be about one million years old -- much younger than our own Sun [ http://www.nineplanets.org/sol.html ]'s 5 billion-year age -- and has created a nebula over 500 times the diameter of our Solar System [ http://www.nineplanets.org/overview.html ] in just the past 10,000 years. The above image [ http://www.gemini.edu/project/announcements/press/2001-1.html ] in infrared light [ http://www.ipac.caltech.edu/Outreach/Edu/infrared.html ] is one of the first from the new NIRI instrument [ http://www.gemini.edu/sciops/instruments/niri/NIRIIndex.html ] mounted on one of the largest ground-based optical telescopes [ http://www.seds.org/billa/bigeyes.html ] in the world: Gemini North [ http://www.gemini.edu/public/ ]. Sharp details are discernable that are blocked by opaque dust [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990509.html ] in visible-light [ http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/science/know_l1/emspectrum.html ] images. Close inspection of the image [ http://www.gemini.edu/project/announcements/press/2001-1.html ] reveals at least four expanding rings, indicating an episodic origin to the mysterious activity. AFGL 2591 lies about 3000 light years [ http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/cosmic_distance.html ] away toward the constellation [ http://www.att.virtualclassroom.org/vc99/vc_04/cons_stars/cons/hist_cons.html ] of Cygnus [ http://www.allthesky.com/constellations/cygnus/ ].
