#OTD @rmathematicus.bsky.social: "In 1609 (Thomas) Harriot became probably the first practicing astronomer to make systematic observations of the heavens with the new Dutch instrument invented in the previous year, the telescope. On 26 July 1609 he made a sketch of the moon using a telescope..."

Today in 1956, a B-47 making a touch-and-go landing at RAF Lakenheath, 20 miles northeast of Cambridge, England, veered off the runway, smashed into a storage igloo holding three unarmed Mark-6 atomic bombs, and exploded.

“… a miracle that one Mark Six with exposed detonators sheared didn’t go.”
Copy of a formerly TOP SECRET July 27, 1956, telegram from Major General James Walsh, commander of Strategic Air Command's 7th Air Division at the US Air Base in South Ruislip in England to General Curtis LeMay, the commander in chief of Strategic Air Command at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, Nebraska: "PERSONAL FOR CINC LEMAY FROM WALSH. MORE TO MY PHONE CALL. HAVE JUST COME FROM THE WRECKAGE OF B-47 WHICH PLOUGHED INTO AN IGLOO IN LAKENHEATH ADS. THE B-47 TORE APART THE IGLOO AND KNOCKED ABOUT 3 MARK SIXES. A/C THEN EXPLODED SHOWERING BURNING FUEL OVERALL. CREW PERISHED. MOST OF THE A/C WRECKAGE PIVOTED ON IGLOO AND CAME TO REST WITH A/C NOSE JUST BEYOND IGLOO BANK WHICH KEPT MAIN FUEL FIRE OUTSIDE SMASHED IGLOO. PRELIMINARY EXAM BY BOMB DISPOSAL OFFICER SAYS A MIRACLE THAT ONE MARK SIX WITH EXPOSED DETONATORS SHEARED DIDN'T GO. FIRE FIGHTERS EXTINGUISHED FIRE AROUND MARK SIXES FAST. PLAN INVESTIGATION TO WARRANT DECORATING FIREMEN." A color photograph of a B-47 bomber taking off using multiple Jet-Assisted Take Off rockets (JATO) attached to the aft fuselage.

27th July, 1937. First flight of the Focke-Wulf 200 Condor. Initially intended for use as a long-range airliner, the aircraft was adapted for military use as the outbreak of war approached.

First prototype Focke-Wulf 200 Condor. This aircraft, upgraded with additional fuel tanks, would later fly from Berlin to both New York and Tokyo to demonstrate its potential as a long-range airliner. 📷 thisdayinaviation.com (4-engined airliner, in black and natural metal finish, on an airfield.

Today in 1952, Los Alamos theoretical physicist and nuclear weapons designer Ted Taylor used a parabolic mirror and a 15-kiloton nuclear explosion (Shot GEORGE) detonated atop a 300-foot tower in Nevada to light a Pall Mall cigarette. Taylor designed the lightweight “Scorpion” device for the test.
A stark black-and-white photograph of the tall and billowing but narrow mushroom cloud from the June 1, 1952, GEORGE nuclear test rising above the Nevada Proving Ground. Silhouettes of rifle-carrying soldiers wearing helmets observing the test are visible in the foreground. An excerpt from Richard L. Miller's 1986 book, "Under the Cloud: The Decades of Nuclear Testing": "While Taylor was waiting, he managed to locate a concave, parabolic mirror. After determining the point at which the light would converge, he attached a small wire. The next day, June 1, 1952, he would conduct an experiment of his own. At 3:50 on June 1, the troops in the trenches were told to kneel and lean against the side of the trench nearest the tower. Five minutes later, Scorpion/GEORGE ignited with a force of 15 kilotons. At the Control Point, Ted Taylor aimed his parabolic mirror at the intensely bright, fissioning mass. At the end of the wire he had attached a Pall Mall. In a second or so the concentrated, focused light from the weapon ignited the tip of the cigarette. He had just made the world's first atomic cigarette lighter. The explosion had hurled a mushroom cloud 37,308 feet into the sky and into the path of a 41-mph south wind. Fallout quickly began to fall on the northern Nevada town of Elko. The nuclear cloud then passed over northern Nevada and curved east in a tight trajectory that took it across the northern plains states before fanning out over the East Coast. On June 5, at 5:30 P.M. local time, while children in Chicago might have been reading the very first issue of "Archie's Joke Book Magazine" or perhaps the more appropriate "Atom Age Combat" detailing "The Exploits of Buck Vinson in the War of Wars," parts of Scorpion/GEORGE were drifting 35,000 feet overhead. The highest fallout from GEORGE occurred in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin, where several hundred thousand counts per minute were recorded for each square foot of land area. ..."

Ever heard of the 'Batwing Otter'?

It was an experimental DeHaviliand Otter with large 'Batwing' flaps, which ultimately got a General Electric J-85 jet engine installed inside the fuselage with STOL-augmenting thrust diverters peering through the sides.

What’s the difference between GEO/LEO satellites?

🛰️ GEO (like MTG-S1): 36,000km up, fixed over one spot - great for real-time storm tracking
🛰️ LEO (like Metop-SGA1): 823-848km up, orbits pole to pole - great for global coverage

Together they power the forecasts we rely on. ☔
Launching soon! ⬇️
