On June 5th, 2012, Venus will transit the face of the sun in an event of both historical and observational importance. The best places to watch are in the south Pacific, but travel is not required. The event will also be visible around sunset from the USA.  credit:  NASA ]]> http://www.redorbit.com/news/video/space_2/1112540248/the-2012-transit-of-venus/ 2012-05-22 14:03:32 Spectacular images from the Hinode spacecraft show the solar eclipse, which darkened the sky in parts of the Western United States and Southeast Asia yesterday.  credit:  NASA ]]> http://www.redorbit.com/news/video/space_2/1112539164/hinode-witnesses-solar-eclipse/ 2012-05-22 04:55:21 SpaceX's Dragon capsule makes history as it makes its way toward the International Space Station for a docking mission.  credit:  SpaceX / NASA ]]> http://www.redorbit.com/news/video/space_2/1112539527/spacex-dragon-launch/ 2012-05-22 04:30:33 Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) is preparing for its second Commercial Orbital Transportation Services, or COTS, demonstration to show that private industry can build and launch spacecraft on regular cargo resupply missions to the International Space Station.  credit:  NASA ]]> http://www.redorbit.com/news/video/space_2/1112539319/nasa-ames-helps-out-spacex/ 2012-05-22 00:30:15 NASA Public Affairs Office commentator Pat Ryan talks with Mike Horkachuck, NASA Project Executive for SpaceX, for an update on the SpaceX Dragon's next launch attempt scheduled for Tuesday at 3:44 a.m. EDT.  credit:  NASA ]]> http://www.redorbit.com/news/video/space_2/1112539317/spacex-dragon-launch-update/ 2012-05-21 19:02:08 The most recent evaluations of NASA's Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) project confirmed all systems go for TDRS-K, a third generation upgrade of the orbiting communications network.
