Para todos
Gracias a los avances tecnológicos desarrollados por la NASA, la industria de la aviación está mejor equipada que nunca para transportar a pasajeros y carga de manera segura y eficiente a destinos en todo el mundo. De hecho, todos los aviones estadounidenses que vuelan hoy día, así como todos los controles de tráfico aéreo de los Estados Unidos, utilizan, de alguna manera u otra, tecnología desarrollada por la NASA.

What Is a Galaxy? | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids

Some galaxies are spiral-shaped like ours. They have curved arms that make it look like a pinwheel. Other galaxies are smooth and oval shaped. They’re called elliptical galaxies. And there are also galaxies that aren’t spirals or ovals. They have irregular shapes and look like blobs. The light that we see from each of these galaxies comes from the stars inside it.


Sometimes galaxies get too close and smash into each other. Our Milky Way galaxy will someday bump into Andromeda, our closest galactic neighbor. But don’t worry. It won’t happen for about five billion years. But even if it happened tomorrow, you might not notice. Galaxies are so big and spread out at the ends that even though galaxies bump into each other, the planets and solar systems often don’t get close to colliding.

Launch a rocket from a spinning planet | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
Take the paper balls (in their container) and the basket to the nearest park or playground that has a merry-go-round. (Not the kind with horses, but the kind you push around then hop on and ride.)
Place the basket on the ground about 3 or 4 meters (9 to 12 feet) from the merry-go-round. Then, step up on the merry-go-round with your container of balls.
Without moving the merry-go-round, try tossing a few balls into the basket on the ground.
Now, leaving the container of balls on the merry-go-round, hop off, push it to get it going slowly (or have someone else push it), then hop back on.
Now, try tossing the balls into the basket on the ground as you go around.
 
 Adding the motion makes it a lot harder to hit your target, doesn't it? Now imagine the target is on another spinning merry-go-round on the other side of the playground. Even if your paper balls were real basketballs or baseballs, you'd have a lot of trouble.
 
 What you will probably find out is that . . .
Timing is everything!
 In picking a time to launch, space engineers and scientists have to consider quite a number of things. Most of them have to do with getting the biggest boost possible from the big launch pad called planet Earth! 

 Earth goes around the sun at a brisk 107,000 kilometers per hour (66,000 miles per hour)! If our interplanetary spacecraft is aimed in the same direction Earth is already going, it will get a big head start.

Also, Earth rotates eastward on its axis, one complete turn each day. At the equator, Earth's surface is rotating at 1675 kilometers per hour (1041 miles per hour)!So if we launch the rocket toward the east, it will get another big boost from Earth's rotational motion.

 Now, we launch eastward. We pick the time of launch (in Deep Space 1's case, early morning) to give the rocket time to accelerate as it goes partway around Earth.

Launch a rocket from a spinning planet

Launch a rocket from a spinning planet

 This movie shows the Deep Space 1 launch. 
Deep Space 1 blasted off at 8:08 AM (Eastern Daylight Time) on October 24, 1998. It rode atop a Delta rocket. 
How do space engineers know when to launch?
Well, nothing in space stands still. Everything either orbits around something else, or moves toward or away from something else. So how do space engineers aim a spacecraft so it lands on Mars or meets up with a particular comet or asteroid? Not only are Earth and the target constantly moving in their different orbits around the Sun, but our Earthly launch pad is spinning at about 1,000 miles per hour when we launch the rocket!

If you don't think this is a hard problem, try this:

Gather up whatever small balls you have. They can be tennis balls, softballs, whiffle balls, golf balls, or bean bags. Or you can make small "paper basketballs" by tightly wadding up pieces of notebook-sized paper.
Put the balls in a bucket or bag to make them easy to carry.
Find another empty container like a bucket or wastebasket or laundry basket to be the "basket."
Take the paper balls (in their container) and the basket to the nearest park or playground that has a merry-go-round. (Not the kind with horses, but the kind you push around then hop on and ride.)
Place the basket on the ground about 3 or 4 meters (9 to 12 feet) from the merry-go-round. Then, step up on the merry-go-round with your container of balls.
Without moving the merry-go-round, try tossing a few balls into the basket on the ground.
