After Stafford and Cernan completed their descent toward the Moon in 1969, the Apollo 10 Lunar Module (LM) "Snoopy" was jettisoned. Snoopy is unique in that it ended up in an orbit around the Sun. The rest of the flown LMs crashed into the Moon or burned up in Earth's atmosphere.
ALT AS10-34-5112 (26 May 1969) --- The ascent stage of the Apollo 10 Lunar Module (LM) is photographed from the Command Module prior to docking in lunar orbit. The LM is approaching the Command and Service Modules from below. The LM descent stage had already been jettisoned. The lunar surface in the background is near, but beyond the eastern limb of the moon as viewed from Earth (about 120 degrees east longitude). The red/blue diagonal line is the spacecraft window.

Nice article from @mndailynews on Monday's eclipse! Article features quotes from Prof Flaten on the UMN Ballooning Team's experiments during the eclipse.
Despite a partial eclipse in Minnesota and cloudy conditions, students made the most out of viewing the eclipse.

#OnThisDay in 1952, computer science pioneer Grace Hopper published "The Education of a Computer," introducing high-level modern programming languages like COBOL.
This paper was monumental to the computer science and STEM fields and has laid the groundwork for today's programming industry. #TodayInHistory #OnThisDay #WomenInSTEM
