Members of NASA's Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) team react to the first high-definition streaming video to be sent via laser from deep space at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, Dec. “I’m celebrating his spotlight with him, but making sure he keeps his paws on the carpet,” Harris said in an email Tuesday. Orange tabby cats have a range of colors, from light cream to deep red-orange. Joby Harris, an art director in JPL’s DesignLab, couldn’t be prouder, but doesn’t want his cat’s newfound celebrity to go to his head. Black spots can also pop up on tortoiseshell. Orange cats are not the only color affected by lentigo. As these pigment-producing cells multiply, small black or brown spots appear on your cat’s face. But Taters won’t be making any more appearances, according to JPL. The most common reason for these dark spots is lentigo, a genetic condition in which there is an increase in the number of epidermal melanocytes. Some famous orange tabby cats include Garfield, Morris, and Orangey. There are four tabby patterns: classic, mackerel, spotted, and ticked. Many cat breeds come in orange, although the breed standard describes the color as red. More test transmissions are planned as Psyche heads toward the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Most orange tabby cats are male, but about 20 percent are female.

NASA wants to improve communications from deep space, especially as astronauts gear up to return to the moon with an eye toward Mars. Despite the vast distance, the test relayed the video faster than most broadband internet connections here on Earth, said the project’s Ryan Rogalin. The mission team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, decided to feature an employee’s 3-year-old playful kitty. The video was loaded into Psyche’s laser communication experiment before the spacecraft blasted off to a rare metal asteroid in October. WATCH: NASA launches mission to study metal-rich asteroid Psyche It took less than two minutes for the ultra high-definition video to reach Caltech’s Palomar Observatory, sent at the test system’s maximum rate of 267 megabits per second. Ze spelen met je, rennen rond, zijn erg aanhankelijk en genieten oprecht van het leven Of ze nu een tabby-patroon hebben of. Als je een huisvlei, oranje tabbykat of klassieke tabby als huisdier (of welke huiskat dan ook) bezit, ben je je al bewust van hoeveel vreugde ze kunnen brengen. The 15-second video was beamed to Earth from NASA’s Psyche spacecraft, 19 million miles (30 million kilometers) away. Tabby Cat Groeigrafiek Wat te verwachten door belcat. (AP) - An orange tabby cat named Taters stars in the first video transmitted by laser from deep space, stealing the show as he chases a red laser light. Orange tabby cats are the stunning beauties of the feline world with their bright ginger fur bedecked with a bevy of striped patterns.
