"Mutual aid...programs tend to be run on a "by the people, for the people" mindset and prioritize boots-on-the-ground volunteering... Mutual aid also allows for people to communicate what they need, rather than being told by contributing parties." greeneracresvaluenetwork.wordpress.com/2022/04/24/dai…

These striking scenes were created by a disk near an emerging star casting its shadow across a cloud within the star-forming region.
The shadow in question belongs to a saddle-shaped disk that surrounds a young star named HBC 672. It is only one or two million years old, which is young in cosmic terms, and resides in a stellar nursery called the Serpens Nebula, about 1,400 light-years away from the Earth.
In a corner of #ESATech centre #ESTEC in #NL is what looks like a wall hanging – but is actually part of @HubbleTelescope’s space-flown solar array. How did it come to be here? Therein lies a tale… #Hubble30 1/28
In 1977, NASA and ESA made a deal on @HubbleTelescope - ESA gained 15% of telescope observing time, and access to all data, in return for contributing an instrument (the Faint Object Camera), designing and building Hubble’s solar array & providing engineering support 2/28
Solar arrays? Sounds simple enough... but @HubbleTelescope presented special engineering challenges. To begin with, these solar arrays were going to be taken back to Earth, afterwards, to find out first-hand how orbital hardware endures in space – so needed careful design 3/28
