(Updated) First spacewalk of 2022 to begin next week: Details Inside

The first spacewalk of 2022 will begin on the International Space Station (ISS) on January 19 at 7 a.m. ET. Expedition 66 crew members, station chief Anton Shkaplerov and flight engineer Peter Dubrov, will leave the Poisk module in their Russian Orlan spacesuits to configure the station’s two latest module.

The duo will spend about seven hours configuring the Prichal Docking Module and Nauka Multipurpose Lab Module in the vacuum of space. NASA flight engineer Mark Vande Hei will assist them during the spacewalk.

Earlier this week, the two astronauts outfitted a Russian Oran space suit, which they will wear in the vacuum of space as they configure the station’s two newest modules. Live coverage of Russia’s spacewalk will be broadcast at 6 a.m. on NASA TV, the agency’s website and the NASA app.

On the upcoming spacewalk, astronauts will install handrails, a rendezvous antenna, a TV camera and a docking target on Prichal, which automatically docks to the Nauka Multipurpose Laboratory module in November.

Meanwhile, the rest of the space station crew is focused on space physics, life sciences and laboratory maintenance, while the SpaceX cargo Dragon is preparing for its Jan. 21 departure. The spacecraft arrived at the space station with more than 6,500 pounds of new science experiments, crew supplies and station hardware on Dec. 22, and it has been docked at the space-facing docking port of the Harmony module since then.

Nasa’s old map of Jupiter, which reminds many of dosa, has gone viral once more

Certain images or videos frequently resurface on the Internet, leaving people speechless. When those clips or pictures are shared again on one social media platform or another, they create a buzz. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) created and posted this image of a map of Jupiter online a few years ago. After being shared on Twitter, the image drew a lot of attention this time. And, as usual, the image made people think of dosa, a popular South Indian dish.

The image was shared by the Twitter account Latest in Space. “From the very bottom of Jupiter, I’m looking up. While tweeting the image, they wrote, “Seen by NASA Cassini.” The images from the Cassini spacecraft’s narrow-angle camera were used to create this out-of-this-world image, which is part of a coloured map series produced by the space agency.

The article was published a few days ago. The tweet has received nearly 20,000 likes since it was shared, and the number is growing. The tweet has been retweeted more than 2,000 times. Take a look at some of the comments to see how the image of Jupiter looks like dosa.

A Twitter user commented, “Looks like a designer dosa.” “When I rush to pick up a call, this is what happens to my dosa on the dosa pan,” one joked. “This is how my mother makes Dosa,” a third said. “Jupiter in the making,” wrote a fourth, along with a photo of someone preparing – you guessed it – dosa.
