From Culturlann McAdam O Fiaich arts centre in the Falls Road, Belfast:

Dé Sathairn 11 Bealtaine, thaisteal ealaíona na Gaeilge chuig árda nach raibh riamh bainte amach acu go dtí seo. D’éirigh leis na chéad fhocail scríofa Gaeilge dul in éadan na himtharraingthe suas tríd an trópaisféar agus suas go hárda an strataisféir.

Ceanglaíodh cóip de bhróisiúr ealaíon na Cultúrlainne le balún héiliam a thaisteal 40km suas tríd an atmaisféar go himeall an spáis agus a tháinig ar ais ar pharaisiút. Bhí an turas ina iomláine taifeadta ag ceamaraí ar bord ar éirigh leo na híomhánna iontacha seo den bhróisiúr a thaifead agus é ag eitilt go hard thar ghaineamhlaigh agus sléibhte SAM thiar.

Mhair an turas thart ar 5 uaire an chloig, agus lainseáladh an balún ó Bishop, California roimhe dó landáil go hard i sléibhte Sequoia National Forest, CA .

 

What!?

No Hector?

FAKE!

We’ve featured a couple of timelapes made from images taken on the International Space Station before.

This one, created by Bruce W. Berry, is particularly glorious.

Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield, who recently brought us images of Belfast and Dublin from orbit, is not merely a decent space-based snapper.

As this illustrated advice from his recent AMA (ask me any questions) session on Reddit by Zen Pencils demonstrates.

Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield pulls the lid back on the secret world of mixed nuts in space. And then, just when you think it can’t end well…

Established in March 1989, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is committed to leading the development and application of space knowledge for the benefit of Canadians.

CSA, we salute you.
