thank you, I usually don't mind clicking on a nasa link to see what it meant, but, I currently stay away from .gov links if I can for fairly obvious reasons

For a while the updates to APOD stopped due to funding cuts. It is good to see that updates were resumed.

Yeah, it was the government shutdown. Affected APOD too. But they are back!

*Star Trek Generations reference for those unaware. The light show resembles the Nexus Wave that was the key plot point in that movie. The captains were Kirk and Picard. ....it does not go well for Captain Kirk.

That wouldn't do much. If you're trying to leave, you want to keep aiming at the horizon and burn forwards. Burning radial out will increase the max distance from the planet a but, but it will also decrease the minimum distance, meaning you'd crash in about 45 minutes (half a 90 min orbit).

I didn't come here to study astrophysics, i came here to get off this damn rock.
But apparently for that i need to study astrophysics. Oh well...

Orbital mechanics is fascinating. Nothing is quite as it seems, but if you get it right you can fly past Voyager 1.
