The United Launch Alliance’s Atlas V Rocket Carrying The Orbital ATK Cygnus Module Rolls To Cape Canaveral

This unprocessed image shows features in Saturn’s atmosphere from closer than ever before. The view was captured by our Cassini spacecraft during its first Grand Finale dive between the planet and its rings on April 26, 2017.

As Cassini dove through the gap, it came within about 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometers) of Saturn’s cloud tops (where the air pressure is 1 bar – comparable to the atmospheric pressure of Earth at sea level) and within about 200 miles (300 kilometers) of the innermost visible edge of the rings.

She was tired of people confusing delicacy with weakness. Sometimes fragile didn’t mean breakable. Sometimes the strong and fierce warrior was no other than the small girl hiding her tears away and smiling at everyone who had hurt her.

there’s nothing hidden in your head the sorting hat can’t see, so try me on and i will tell you where you ought to be

Garage Band

After spending the whole day binging the Dogcopter movies with Peridot and Lapis (who have a lot of questions about what they just watched), Steven is late for a meeting with the Crystal Gems back at the temple. Steven takes a shortcut through residential Beach City and stumbles upon a garage band playing a catchy song, but has to leave before the band finishes playing. When Steven goes back to visit the band the next day, they’re nowhere to be found. Unable to get the song out of his head, he gets the rest of the Gems together to form their own garage band and figure out how the rest of the song goes on their own.
