🔭 From the Desk of Paul Bracken:
When I'm out in the backyard capturing photons from distant galaxies, I often think about the pioneers who paved the way for us to understand the cosmos. JPL's story is absolutely foundational to everything we know about space today. I highly recommend this for a cloudy night when the telescope is parked, but you still want to immerse yourself in the wonders of space history!
