travelers and messengers ...
The Voyager spacecraft was launched in 1977, during his tour of the Solar System has reported wonderful images the outer planets, now more than 30 years after he left Earth and 17,400 million miles ... the new location is the center of the Milky Way, our galaxy, during this tour are expected to understand the solar wind at distances as and so far, update the models used to work.
A curious fact is: the time interval for data transfer to Earth Voyager, at such distances is approximately 16 hours.
But ... continuing the investigation of space, there is a planet that no probe has reached in its entirety, or so I believe, because the Messenger mission will handle this.
The Messenger Thursday managed to enter the orbit of Mercury and the passage of time and research is expected to solve mysteries as why Mercury is so dense, what is its geologic history and nature its magnetic field or whether there might be ice on the planet despite its proximity to the Sun
Despite sedentary peoples, the nomadic instinct is still valid and space exploration is a clear example .

What about the moon this weekend?
Saturday's moon is at perigee, ie at its most NEO, you get 14% larger and 30% brighter, although the "Moon Illusion" makes us believe that we still have to touch a distance of 356, 577 miles, so this Saturday check out! otherwise it would have to wait until 2029 to see this dream again.
