I don’t often get to visit the sea, which only makes the times I do more special.

A useful infographic showing the full impact to current missions from the proposed budget cuts.
A richly illustrated infographic titled “Operating & Future Science Fleet” shows a detailed map of NASA’s space science missions across the solar system. The image is split into regions: Earth, the Moon, the Sun, and outer planets. Each mission is labeled and color-coded by discipline: green for Earth science, yellow for heliophysics, purple for planetary, orange for astrophysics, and pink for biological & physical science. Numerous missions are marked with a red circle and diagonal slash, indicating cancellation — including major projects like Terra, Aqua, OCO-2, IBEX, MAVEN, Juno, TIMED, New Horizons, and others. Active missions (like Perseverance, Hubble, and Parker Solar Probe) remain unmarked, while future missions are in bold text. The ISS and several lunar landers are shown orbiting Earth and the Moon. The visual emphasizes both the scope and recent losses within NASA’s scientific fleet as of July 2024. A legend in the bottom right explains the color coding and labeling conventions. - generated by ChatGPT, accuracy checked by me!

For those curious, missions on the chopping block include:

MAVEN, studying Mars climate and weather.
New Horizons, famous for flying by Pluto, currently in the Kuiper Belt.
GOLD, launched only in 2018 to study the effects of the sun on Earth’s atmosphere.
A vertical bar chart titled “19 active science missions cancelled” displays 19 NASA science missions, each represented by a horizontal line spanning from their launch year to their cancellation point in 2025. The chart notes that these projects represent over $12 billion in taxpayer investment and 180 combined years of development. The missions span from 1999 to 2019 and include Terra, Chandra, ODY, TIMED, Aqua, Aura, New Horizons, THEMIS-ARTEMIS, Fermi, IBEX, Juno, MAVEN, OCO-2, DSCOVR, MMS, OSIRIS-APEX, SAGE-III, GOLD, and OCO-3. Each mission line ends with a red X, indicating cancellation. The source is cited as the FY 2026 White House NASA request, and the chart is credited to The Planetary Society. - alt text generated by ChatGPT and checked for accuracy by me!

I have been getting back into photography, and am particularly pleased with how this one turned out!
