Welcome to Warbird Wednesday! Today we are checking out the Lockheed P-3 Orion, an aircraft used for reconnaissance, maritime denial, and surface denial. Based on the Lockheed L188 Electra design, this aircraft was introduced in August 1962. The P-3 replaced the P-2 and P-5 aircraft and had a versatile role, being used for anti-submarine warfare, reconnaissance, and surface reconnaissance. It was known for its durability and long mission times, with the ability to stay on station for up to 21 an

Explore this 360-degree tour of the Orion Nebula, which reveals a glowing gaseous landscape shaped by high-energy radiation and strong stellar winds. This movie combines observations from NASA’s Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, presenting distinct features in the nebula that are uncovered by different wavelengths of light: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiqfafdHn9k&feature=youtu.be Credits: NASA, ESA, F.

The Orion Nebula: Panning across a deep infrared image | ESO Support us at FriendsofNASA.org: This video gives a close-up view of a spectacular new image of the Orion Nebula star-formation region that was obtained from multiple exposures using the HAWK-I infrared camera on ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile. This is one of the deepest views ever of this region and it revealed many more very faint planetary-mass objects than expected. Credits: European Southern Observatory (ESO)/H. Drass et al.
