Cruel!


A real Fairchild 𝑢A741 opamp date code 6920A (May, 1969). These were used on the Apollo 11 mission. Note the large metallization area which is the 30 pF internal compensation capacitor. This device was designed by Dave Fullagar and was probably released in 1968.






The Oort Cloud: Where the Solar System Ends.
Do you know about the bubble of ice and dust that surrounds our Solar system? That is the Oort Cloud, a vast region made up of trillions of small bodies. Here are some quick facts to know about it:
Invisible Mystery: The Oort Cloud is so far away that it can't be seen directly. Even our most advanced spacecraft cannot reach it with their remaining fuel.
Source of Comets: Scientists believe that the Oort Cloud serves as a fresh supply of long-period comets - those that take no less than 200 years to orbit the Sun.
Frozen Land: The Oort Cloud is a vast, cold region containing a variety of icy substances like water, methane, ethane, and more. In addition to comets, it may harbor asteroids and dwarf planets.
