October 20th is International Day of the Air Traffic Controller. About 100,000 flights around the world take off and land each day. In just one year, over 4 billion passengers travel by plane. With so many planes in the air, it’s amazing that flying by plane is as safe as it is. The safety of air travel is largely attributed to air traffic controllers. These professionals direct air traffic on the ground at airport runways and taxiways. Air traffic controllers also monitor and direct the movement of planes through airspace. Additionally, they issue landing and takeoff orders to pilots.

While we are temporarily closed during the construction of our new museum, don’t forget to visit the Smithsonian @airandspacemuseum in Washington, DC, to see the real Wright Flyer and learn more about many other important aircraft, record-breaking aviators (like Jacqueline Cochran!) and other innovations throughout air and space history. We are proud to be a #SmithsonianAffiliate! #WrightBrothers #WrightFlyer #JacquelineCochran #smithsonianairandspacemuseum

Wrapping up world space week with a beautiful photo from the #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope. This landscape of “mountains” and “valleys” speckled with glittering stars is actually the edge of a nearby, young, star-forming region called NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula. Captured in infrared light by NASA’s new telescope, this image reveals for the first time previously invisible areas of star birth.

Called the Cosmic Cliffs, Webb’s seemingly three-dimensional picture looks like craggy mountains on a moonlit evening. In reality, it is the edge of the giant, gaseous cavity within NGC 3324, and the tallest “peaks” in this image are about 7 light-years high. The cavernous area has been carved from the nebula by the intense ultraviolet radiation and stellar winds from extremely massive, hot, young stars located in the center of the bubble, above the area shown in this image.
