FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

HMS Argus was a British aircraft carrier that served in the Royal Navy from 1918
to 1944. Converted from an ocean liner, she became the first example of the
standard pattern of aircraft carriers, with a full-length flight deck allowing
aircraft to take off and land. The ship was involved for several years in the
development of the optimum design for other aircraft carriers. She spent one
brief deployment on the China Station in the late 1920s before being placed in
reserve. Argus was recommissioned and partially modernised shortly before the
Second World War. In July 1940 she made the first of her many ferry trips to fly
off fighters to Malta. In 1942 she was pressed into front-line service despite
her lack of speed and armament. She provided air cover during the invasion of
French North Africa and was slightly damaged by a bomb. Argus was used again for
deck-landing practice until September 1944. She became an accommodation ship in
December, was sold in late 1946 and was scrapped in 1947. (Full article...)

Kayla Barron

Fifty-two United States astronauts have graduated from the United States Naval
Academy (USNA). The Naval Academy is an undergraduate college in Annapolis,
Maryland, with the mission of educating and commissioning officers for the
United States Navy and Marine Corps. USNA graduates who enter aviation and
space-related fields have the opportunity to be selected for astronaut training
by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The first alumnus
to fly as an astronaut was Alan Shepard, of the class of 1945. As of 2023, the
most recent alumnus to be selected as an astronaut was Kayla Barron (pictured),
of the class of 2010. Two alumni were part of Project Mercury, three were part
of Project Gemini, seven were part of the Apollo program, three walked on the
Moon, one was part of the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project, and forty-two were part of
the Space Shuttle program. (Full list...)

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

The Library of Congress is a research library that officially serves the United
States Congress and is the de facto national library of the United States.
Founded in 1800, it is the oldest federal cultural institution in the country
and one of the largest libraries in the world. The library is housed in three
buildings on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.: the Thomas Jefferson Building
(completed in 1897), the John Adams Building (1938) and the James Madison
Memorial Building (1976). It also maintains the National Audio-Visual
Conservation Center in Culpeper, Virginia, and a storage facility in Fort Meade,
Maryland. The library's functions are overseen by the librarian of Congress, and
its buildings are maintained by the architect of the Capitol. This photograph,
taken by William Henry Jackson, shows the Thomas Jefferson Building around 1902.
