Building a Universe with the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ VFX Crew

Building a Universe with the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ VFX Crew @Guardians @MarvelStudios #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 #GOTG3

Crafting any studio blockbuster is a challenging endeavor. Worlds and galaxies begin with the ideas of a gifted writer or director (or both in the case of James Gunn), but have to become reality. And that’s really where so much time, energy, and effort from hard working individuals, such as the VFX team from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 come into the picture. Continue reading Untitled

2023 August, the Month of Bharat

Dr. Shruchi Singh August 2023, coincided with the Hindu month of Shrāvan (derived from Shravan – to hear). This month is relevant to Bharat in numerous ways. Historically, this is the month when the nation got its independence from British rule (15th August 1947); philosophically, it brings people close to Dharma by encouraging them towards learning, self-development, and the prayer and pledge…

(Inter)National Space Day

Visit an observatory or use a telescope to explore the night sky, or peruse one of NASA’s livestreams to remind yourself how big the universe really is.

What is there that’s more interesting than space? Never-ending, always expanding, full of stars and suns and planets and untold mysteries – as long as we live, we won’t know all the secrets that this great vacuum holds. But that doesn’t stop us trying to learn absolutely everything we can about it!

On the first Friday of each May, space boffins and science fans alike celebrate National Space Day with a dedicated day of observance to everything in the great beyond. Because there’s so much out there in space, you can be sure that there’s always going to be enough to celebrate on this day as every year comes!

With this in mind, grab your telescope, your model rockets, and your dehydrated astronaut meals and take an adventure into the heavens and beyond, where the Earth becomes the Pale Blue Dot, and the rest of the infinite universe stretches further than your mind could ever imagine. This is National Space Day and everything you need to know about how to celebrate it.

History of National Space Day

Really, the history of National Space Day stretches back to the very beginning of the universe when the Big Bang made its grand entrance on history and kicked existence, life, and everything else as we know it into action. In more modern terms, National Space Day started as plain and simple National Space Day in 1997.

The day was created to observe the many wonders of the unknown space that our planet, and plenty of others, floats in. Furthermore, it will encourage children to have more of an interest in the scientific field. In 2001, Senator John Glenn, himself a former astronaut, changed the day to National Space Day to widen its scope of celebration across the world.

Although undoubtedly there’s an argument for it to become Interplanetary, or even Intergalactic National Space Day at some point in the near future, especially if we ever make it to Mars, and that seems like a foregone conclusion.

Many scientific organizations celebrate this day with demonstrations, gatherings, and educational programs. You can be sure that your local science museum or observatory is doing something or other on this day, and it’s an excellent chance for you or your kids to learn about the wonders of the galaxy and beyond.

How to celebrate National Space Day

Ever wondered what lies beyond our skies? Today is the day to find out! Go to your local library and take a look at some of the books about space there, learn about your favorite planets, or even space travel itself. Librarians will happily share information with you regarding the best books and other resources for you to learn more. Furthermore, some libraries may even hold events with guest talks from experts in the field of all things space.

Even if you can’t make it out to a library, all the information you need is right at your fingertips. Lookup details about the longest time spent in space, watch interviews by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin themselves. Check out the footage of spacewalks or even try to figure out just what, exactly, the Wow signal actually was.

And then, once you’re all educated-out, feel free to snuggle up on the sofa and watch some space documentaries. If documentaries aren’t your thing, you’re in luck. Hollywood has been obsessed with space for as long as it has been around, so whack on some classic and iconic space movies, from Star Wars to Interstellar, and transport yourself to a whole new world in this galaxy or one far, far away.

Likewise, listen to a podcast about whatever extraterrestrial subject interests you. Take yourself to a science museum and get to grips with the makeup of each planet in our solar system. You can even read up on the work of astronauts throughout the decades. Similarly, works by Carl Sagan, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Stephen Hawking are the voices in theories regarding life, the universe, and everything, so make sure you don’t do yourself a disservice by ignoring what they have to offer.

Or, if you’re strapped for time, take a look at NASA’s website or social channels and see what they have been up to – there’s sure to be something that piques your interest. The International Space Station even has a feed that films directly into the vast black beyond. If you’re lucky, you might see something that piques the imagination, and you’ll uncover a newfound passion for learning more about something we will never know everything about.

National Space Day is a day to celebrate humanity’s forays into the unknown, how far science has come, and the wonders that lie just beyond our atmosphere. If you learn only one thing today, make it something about space!

National Space Day is the perfect time to take some time to realize that, maybe, we aren’t as important as we like to think. There are so many secrets out there waiting to be uncovered that it can be challenging to wrap your head around the potential that the rest of the galaxy and known universe offers.

Still, this most scientific and ambitious of days is also a chance to ask questions, look for answers, and find out a little more about what the universe is and who we are as people. Are we alone in the universe? Maybe, maybe not, but this won’t stop us exploring into the eons, so make sure that National Space Day becomes a day that you never forget and get ready for launch.

on the subject of museums though: I'm a FIRM believer that the smithsonians are genuinely some the greatest cultural heritage americans possess and I believe SO fervently in them being free to the public and accessible to all because they ARE our nation's history and tell (and ideally deconstruct) our national myths and help contextualize the natural world around us and show us the heights of human ingenuity and art. also my favorite of all of them is the national museum of the american indian and I personally think if you can only go to one smithsonian museum it should be that one

#I've only been to DC once since the National Museum of African American History and Culture opened and I wasn't able to go bc the #timed tickets for the day were all sold out :( but I'm going to attempt to go later this year #idk I feel very passionately about the smithsonians... one of my favorite childhood memories is the family trip we took there #and I walked around the natural history museum with a notebook and wrote down all my favorite things I saw that day ahaha #and the air & space museum really is just incredible. my dad has Space Race Boomer Brain but I was always really interested #in how his mind was so CAPTURED by the space race and by space exploration and him seeing the first man on the moon #and that bled into me appreciating that museum a lot #but seriously the american indian museum is just a feat to behold. just incredible. #and — I'd argue — the MOST important museum to view if you wanted to truly grasp the weight of the stories our country tries to tell itself
