“Svemir, konačna granica…” – slavne su riječi iz još slavnije serije koju dobro znaju svi ljubitelji znanstvene fantastike i svemirskih tema. Nažalost, velika većina nas nikada neće stupiti u svemirsku letjelicu i iz prve ruke posvjedočiti o tome kako izgleda tamo gore, ali malu utjehu ipak možemo pronaći na – Instagramu! Izdvajamo nekoliko primjera!

NASA

Ovakva lista ne može proći bez NASA-e, tim više što je ona iznimno aktivna na svim velikim društvenim mrežama, pa tako i na Instagramu. Na službenome profilu američke svemirske agencije pronaći ćete predivne fotografije zvjezdanih prostranstava snimljenih teleskopima, izvrsne ilustracije, zanimljive kratke videosnimke, ali i ekskluzivne materijale koji redovito privlače pozornost medija i internetske zajednice.

What a year! In 2015, we explored the expanse of our solar system and beyond, and the complex processes of our home planet, while also advancing the technologies for our journey to Mars, and new aviation systems as we reached new milestones aboard the International Space Station (@ISS). The work we do, and will continue in 2016, helps the United States maintain its world leadership in space exploration and scientific discovery. We will continue investing in our journey to Mars, returning human spaceflight launches from American soil, fostering groundbreaking technology development, breakthroughs in aeronautics and bringing to every American the awe-inspiring discoveries and images captured by NASA’s missions in our solar system and beyond. #nasa #science #space #explore #discover #understand #solarsystem #planet #astronaut #2015 #2016 #happynewyear #spacestation

Scott Kelly

Scott Kelly već je prava astronautska zvijezda na društvenim mrežama, a trenutačno odrađuje jednogodišnju misiju na Međunarodnoj svemirskoj postaji. Njegove fotografije na Instagramu i Twitteru često postaju internetski hitovi, a nedavno nas je počastio i slikom prvoga cvijeta uzgojenog u bestežinskome stanju!

SpaceX

Kako će izgledati budućnost svemirskih putovanja? Odgovor bi vam mogla pružiti kompanija slavnoga Elona Muska koja se bavi razvojem raketnih letjelica i tehnologije svemirskoga transporta. Premda je još relativno nov i ne vrvi sadržajem, SpaceXov profil na Instagramu donosi fascinantan uvid u rad i pothvate tvrtke, koji zasigurno nikoga neće ostaviti ravnodušnima.

ISS 

Želite vidjeti kako Zemlja izgleda iz orbite? Dovoljno je zaputiti se na profil Međunarodne svemirske postaje (ISS) na Instagramu i uživati u zapanjujućim fotografijama. Naravno, tamo ćete također vidjeti i kako izgleda svakodnevni život astronauta u bestežinskome stanju.

Meet Schiaparelli! ?✨? #Mars This coming March, the window opens for ExoMars 2016, ESA’s next mission to #Mars, composed of two spacecrafts: the Trace Gas Orbiter and Schiaparelli (pictured above). The 600 kg Schiaparelli is here being unpacked in a cleanroom in the Baikonur cosmodrome – and will ride to Mars on the Trace Gas Orbiter. Three days before they reach the Red Planet, Schiaparelli will separate from the orbiter, which will then enter orbit for a five-year mission of studying atmospheric gases potentially linked to present-day biological and geological activity. Read more about Schiaparelli’s mission in ESA.int!
