The Soyuz rocket lifted off on May 15 at 9:01 a.m. local time (10:01 p.m. CDT May 14) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan carrying NASA Flight Engineer Joseph Acaba, Russian Soyuz Commander Gennady Padalka and Flight Engineer Sergei Revin.

They wrote: Admit the truth about the moon, admit there’s more planets out there than they say there is [sic], and certainly admit that previous astronauts have seen other worldly beings.. plus reveal the true pictures of the moon and mars.. This is opinion is certainly the other side of the coin to what I know so I took on the challenge of responding. It is not likely to be believed, but none the less, it deserved a rational response: "I'm not sure if you are being serious, but let me offer the following for those that think it is a conspiracy: [...]]]> http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/a-different-view-tell-the-truth-nasa/feed/ 4 http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/exoplanet-consuming-white-dwarf-stars-discovered/ http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/exoplanet-consuming-white-dwarf-stars-discovered/#comments Fri, 04 May 2012 11:57:16 +0000 Robert Brand http://echoesofapollo.com/?p=5575 http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/exoplanet-consuming-white-dwarf-stars-discovered/feed/ 0 http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/budget-shortfalls-launch-delays-could-be-nightmare-for-future-of-earth-observation-capabilities/ http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/budget-shortfalls-launch-delays-could-be-nightmare-for-future-of-earth-observation-capabilities/#comments Fri, 04 May 2012 11:54:07 +0000 Robert Brand http://echoesofapollo.com/?p=5572 http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/budget-shortfalls-launch-delays-could-be-nightmare-for-future-of-earth-observation-capabilities/feed/ 0 http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/win-funding-for-satnav-business-ideas/ http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/win-funding-for-satnav-business-ideas/#comments Fri, 04 May 2012 11:50:16 +0000 Robert Brand http://echoesofapollo.com/?p=5569 http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/win-funding-for-satnav-business-ideas/feed/ 0 http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/satellites-stay-current-on-ocean-currents/ http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/satellites-stay-current-on-ocean-currents/#comments Fri, 04 May 2012 11:40:17 +0000 Robert Brand http://echoesofapollo.com/?p=5566 http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/satellites-stay-current-on-ocean-currents/feed/ 0 http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/next-galileo-satellites-to-launch-after-the-summer/ http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/next-galileo-satellites-to-launch-after-the-summer/#comments Fri, 04 May 2012 11:37:37 +0000 Robert Brand http://echoesofapollo.com/?p=5563 http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/next-galileo-satellites-to-launch-after-the-summer/feed/ 0 http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/cassini-saturn-moon-photographer/ http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/cassini-saturn-moon-photographer/#comments Fri, 04 May 2012 11:16:08 +0000 Robert Brand http://echoesofapollo.com/?p=5560 http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/cassini-saturn-moon-photographer/feed/ 0 http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/spacex-delays-dragon-capsule-launch%e2%80%a6again/ http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/spacex-delays-dragon-capsule-launch%e2%80%a6again/#comments Fri, 04 May 2012 11:12:51 +0000 Robert Brand http://echoesofapollo.com/?p=5557 http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/spacex-delays-dragon-capsule-launch%e2%80%a6again/feed/ 0 http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/nasa-tv-to-air-2012-u-s-astronaut-hall-of-fame-induction-may-5/ http://echoesofapollo.com/2012/05/nasa-tv-to-air-2012-u-s-astronaut-hall-of-fame-induction-may-5/#comments Thu, 03 May 2012 11:33:17 +0000 Robert Brand http://echoesofapollo.com/?p=5554 NASA Television will provide live coverage of the 2012 U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame induction ceremony at 3 p.m. EDT on Saturday, May 5.

The discovery provides new insight into the nature of stellar black holes, which is a class that can produce as much energy in X-rays as what a million suns could radiate at all wavelengths. The astronomers used Chandra to find an outburst that was produced by a black hole in the spiral galaxy M83, which is located about 15 million light years from Earth.
