Tourists in space On Sunday, July 11, 2021, billionaire Richard Branson, accompanied by three other passengers and two pilots, made his first trip into space with virgin galactic company's VSS Unity spacecraft, thus starting space tourism. The aircraft took off from the runway at Spaceport America Base in New Mexico, climbing to an altitude of about 15 km before the landing of the spacecraft. VSS Unity then ignitioned its engine and started an ultrasonic ascent, reaching an altitude of over 80 km., A height defined in the United States as the 'frontier' of space (100 km to other countries). As soon as the engine was off, passengers were able to get out of their seats, to navigate gravity and observe the Earth from space.

With a GoPro camera in space Astronaut NASA Randy Bresnik recorded this video with GoPro camera on October 20, 2017 during a spacewalk outside the International Space Station. The Bresnik wrote about this beautiful moment: "Sometimes, when you walk in space, We simply need to dedicate a moment to enjoy the beauty of planet Earth. This video is from the exit of the station where Joe Acaba and I renovated the robotic arm Canadarm2 and Dextre robot arm extension."

The shutter of a camera 10.000 fps The Horrible Gawain shows us how it moves the shutter of a DSLR camera (digital SLR) and recorded at 10.000 frames per second. The shutter of the camera controls the light that enters for the creation of photography. In an environment with little light, the shutter must remain open for a longer time in order to capture the maximum light and vice versa. This is called shutter speed or "exposure time".
Black holes A 'black hole' is the point of space, where once there was the core of a massive star, a nucleus containing most materials by 2.5 solar masses and who is in the final phase of the evolution of the star lost his fight against gravity, resulting materials of collapse and be compressed even further from the materials of a neutron star. The gravitational field is so strong, so the escape velocity near exceeds the speed of light. The result is that anything, not even the light, cannot escape from the gravity of the black hole, Hence the word 'black'. The term black hole (black hole) not mentioned in hole with the ordinary meaning (hole), but in a region of space, from which nothing can return.
