What is it about having the vast majority of us believing the lie that helps them achieve and maintain their seated VXR AP success?

great sign
bad guy
IMO, a terrible version of the Bible (more so now that I get what "NIV" means to them)
great message, anon
God Bless (by no means was this an attack on you, the overarching message, or having 3 children)
On second thought, you posted it for these very reasons (had time to notice all the digits). I ain't telling YOU anything you don't know. Kek.
New, detailed pictures of planets, moons, and comets are neither photos nor animations — they're made using data from 50 years of NASA missions
For many years, there were only two ways for astronomers to see distant worlds in our solar system: Either they used a powerful telescope, or they sent spacecraft into the inky blackness to get up close and personal.
But a third option is emerging to offer unprecedented detail and accuracy: data visualization.
At the American Museum of Natural History, a new planetarium show reveals images of Saturn's moon Titan, the 67P comet, and the lunar surface, all generated using data collected during 50 years of space missions.
"We're not making anything up here," Carter Emmart, director of astrovisualization for that show, said at a press conference. "The height, color, and shapes we see come from actual measurements. You get to see these beautiful objects as they actually are, to the best of our abilities."
Carter and his team relied on data gathered by robotic probes, telescopes, and supercomputer simulations from NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and Japan Aerospace Exploration since the 1970s.
"We're taking numbers and turning that into a picture," he told Business Insider. "We've created a 3D world that lives in the computer and can be shown on screen."
Take a look at some of the most impressive visuals from the show,"Worlds Beyond Earth," which opened Tuesday.
"It's not an animation or cartoon," Vivian Trakinski, the new show's producer and director of science visualization, said. "These are authentic digital artifacts of science we can create and experience."

Other planetariums, like Chicago's Adler Planetarium, also utilize data visualization, relying on research about planetary orbits, surface maps, and the location of spacecraft to create accurate imagery. But the Hayden Planetarium in New York displays the most comprehensive color palette.
Data from robotic missions like the Apollo 15 lunar module, called "Falcon," helped reveal what the moon's surface looks like in staggering detail.

In 1971, "Falcon" carried astronauts David Scott and Jim Irwin, along with the first Lunar Roving Vehicle, down to the moon. That so-called "moon buggy" helped Scott and Irwin explore a much wider swath of the lunar surface.
"Spacecraft are extensions of ourselves: our eyes, ears, and nose," the show's curator, Denton Ebel, told Business Insider.
Ebel and his colleagues also relied on high-resolution maps from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Mars Global Surveyor, as well as the ESA's Mars Express, to reconstruct Mars' surface.

The red planet was once akin to Earth, with plentiful water and active volcanoes. But the planet's core cooled just 500 million years after Mars' formation. That cooling, according to museum scientists, caused the decay of Mars' magnetic field, which protected the planet from solar winds. Without it, Mars lost its atmosphere.
Between 1989 and 1994, NASA's Magellan mission explored the surface of Venus.

According to Ebel, Magellan revealed that Venus was also once like Earth but now has a surface hot enough to melt lead.
Venus is a "hellscape, really," Ebel said, because it, too, lacks a magnetic field. Without that protection, solar winds stripped away any water.
Cassini was one of NASA and the ESA's most ambitious missions. The spacecraft orbited Saturn 294 times, exploring the planet's rings and moons for 13 years.

Cassini discovered that Saturn's moon Enceladus sprays plumes of water into space. That told scientists that the moon has an ocean of liquid water under its icy surface.
