Gemini 3 final inspection
Title Gemini 3 final inspection
Full Description Technicians from the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation, which was responsible for producing the Gemini capsule, make final inspections to the Gemini 3 spacecraft. The photo is taken at the white room, a sterile environment where the spacecraft is prepared for launch, atop the Titan launch vehicle at Pad 19 at the Kennedy Space Center. Gus Grissom and John Young would ride the spacecraft into orbit for the first Gemini mission on a five- hour trip into space on March 23, 1965.

Full Description The original Gemini 9 prime crew, astronauts Elliot M. See Jr. (left), command pilot, and Charles A. 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.

NGC 6934 from Gemini North
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 ].
