Science Balloons on Parade
You might see some of your favorite characters bobbing through the streets of New York City during Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, but did you know that NASA's got some balloons of our own? Early December in Antarctica, we're planning to launch some behemoth balloons carrying science experiments and instruments to help unravel mysteries of our universe.
Like the parade balloons, these scientific balloons are filled with helium. But the science balloon is designed to soar above 130,000 feet, past the clouding views of our atmosphere. They can stay in the air from 2 hours to 100 days, depending on the balloon type and how heavy the science payload is (up to 6000 lbs). A typical, fully-inflated scientific balloon can be 460 ft in diameter and 396 ft in height, made of acres of sandwich bag-looking film. That’s MUCH larger than some parade balloons, and probably a pain to bring down 6th Avenue.

So why launch these balloons in Antarctica? Winter in the South Pole means 24 hours of non-stop sunlight, which is great for studying our sun. Being at the poles, which has a weaker magnetic field than the rest of our planet, also means we can capture and study cosmic ray particles that would be too scattered by the Earth’s magnetic field elsewhere. Depending on the kind of science we'd like to do, we also launch balloons from places all over the world.
These balloons are great, inexpensive test-beds for scientific instruments that could one day end up on a space-bound mission. NASA's NuSTAR mission started out as a balloon experiment before it was refined and launched into space to study black holes and other supernova remnants.

Rosales Town Fiesta 2024: Grand Parade The start of the fiesta where I saw the parade of the important members of the community and the respective barangays. It was my first time to witness the parade for the town fiesta in which i haven't witnessed last year because I was furnishing my documents for my transfer requirements. I saw some of my favorite persons in which I got relieved from stress that I was experiencing.
