1. Choose the Right Harness: Select a harness that is appropriate for your dog's size and needs. There are various types of harnesses available, such as step-in, over-the-head, and front-clip harnesses. Consider your dog's behavior and any specific requirements when making your choice. 2. Familiarize Your Dog: Introduce the harness to your dog before attempting to put it on. Allow your dog to sniff and investigate the harness so they become comfortable with it. 3. Adjust the Harness: Before putting the harness on your dog, ensure it is properly adjusted for their size. Most harnesses have adjustable straps around the neck and chest. You should be able to fit two fingers between the harness and your dog's body for a snug but not tight fit. 4. Position the Harness: Hold the harness open and stand facing your dog. If it's a step-in harness, position it so that your dog's front legs will go through the openings. If it's an over-the-head harness, carefully slip it over your dog's head. 5. Secure the Harness: Guide your dog's legs through the appropriate openings if it's a step-in harness. For an over-the-head harness, ensure the harness rests comfortably around their neck. Then, fasten the harness's buckles or clips around your dog's body. Make sure the buckles are properly secured but not too tight. 6. Adjust Straps: Check that all straps are straight and properly adjusted. The straps around the neck and chest should be snug but not restrictive. You should be able to slide two fingers underneath the straps for the right fit. 7. Attach the Leash: Depending on the type of harness, there might be multiple leash attachment points. The most common locations are on the back and on the chest. Choose the attachment point that suits your needs. If your dog tends to pull, a front-clip attachment can provide more control. 8. Walk and Observe: Take a short walk with your dog using the harness. Observe their comfort level and movement. Ensure that the harness doesn't cause any rubbing or discomfort. If you notice any issues, readjust the harness as needed. 9. Gradual Introduction: If your dog is not used to wearing a harness, start with short sessions indoors. Gradually increase the time your dog spends in the harness to help them get accustomed to it. 10. Practice Positive Reinforcement: Throughout the process, use treats, praise, and positive reinforcement to associate the harness with positive experiences. This will help your dog feel more comfortable wearing it. Remember that every dog is different, and some may take more time to adapt to wearing a harness. Patience and consistency are key. Always monitor your dog's comfort and behavior while using the harness, and make adjustments as needed.

A serene masterpiece unfolds as the early morning sun casts its gentle rays upon Mount Fuji. The towering volcanic peak stands as a silent sentinel, its snow-capped crown shimmering with a delicate pink and gold hue. Wisps of mist dance around its base, as if paying homage to the mountain's majesty. The tranquil stillness of the scene is broken only by the distant songs of birds, celebrating the dawn with their melodic symphony. The crisp morning air carries a hint of pine and earth, invigorating the senses and grounding one in the moment. The mirrored surface of nearby lakes reflects the grandeur above, creating a surreal fusion of reality and its ethereal reflection. As the light intensifies, it gradually unveils the intricate details of Mount Fuji's rugged terrain. Shadows stretch and retreat, revealing every crevice and contour, while the ivory slopes transition seamlessly into the cobalt sky. The mountain seems to awaken, as if slowly shaking off the slumber of the night, yet retaining an aura of calm that captivates all who behold it. Witnessing Mount Fuji in the morning is like stepping into a reverie, where time seems suspended, and the natural world holds its breath in awe of such profound beauty. It's a fleeting moment of serenity and splendor, a masterpiece painted by the hands of nature and illuminated by the tender touch of dawn.

How do spacecraft slow down? Rigid heat shields and retropropulsion have been the favorites of engineers for years. Now NASA is testing a new inflatable heat shield technology that could allow us to carry even larger payloads to worlds with atmospheres: https://www.nasa.gov/loftid Launching on Nov. 1 aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket along with NOAA’s JPSS-2 mission, the Low-Earth Orbit Flight Test of an Inflatable Decelerator, or LOFTID, will demonstrate the heat shield’s ability to slow down and survive atmospheric entry: https://go.nasa.gov/3N7yzBG Producers: Scott Bednar, Jessica Wilde Editor: Daniel Salazar Credit: NASA #NASA #Technology #Spacecraft

In order to slow down spacecraft quickly and safely as they land, we get some help from an unexpected source: the planet’s atmosphere! To use the air around a planet to our advantage, we use heat shields, which have an air-resistant design. Learn more about heat shields, like LOFTID, and how they may help us land on Mars!

We’re testing a new way of landing on Mars… by crashing into its surface. The Simplified High Impact Energy Landing Device (SHIELD) is a lander concept being tested at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). It could one day provide a new way for low-cost missions to land on Mars. Rather than rely on parachutes or retrorockets, SHIELD would include a collapsible, accordion-like base to absorb the energy of a landing. A full-size prototype of the base was tested on Aug. 12, 2022. The prototype was hurled at the ground from the top of a nearly 90-foot-tall (27-meter-tall) drop tower at JPL. A steel plate ensured the impact was even harder than what would be experienced on Mars. The design worked: After crushing against the steel plate at 110 mph (177 kph), several electronic components inside the SHIELD prototype, including a smartphone, survived the impact.

This 4K visualization shows the Moon's phase and libration at hourly intervals throughout 2022, as viewed from the Northern Hemisphere. Each frame represents one hour. In addition, this visualization shows the Moon's orbit position, sub-Earth and subsolar points, and distance from the Earth at true scale. Craters near the terminator are labeled, as are Apollo landing sites, maria, and other albedo features in sunlight.
