official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Since last fall, NASA scientists have flown an advanced 3D Doppler wind lidar instrument across the United States to collect nearly 100 hours of data — including a flight through a hurricane. The goal? To demonstrate the unique capability of the Aerosol Wind Profiler (AWP) instrument to gather extremely preciseContinue reading “NASA 3D Wind Measuring Laser Aims to Improve Forecasts from Air, Space”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The Cygnus Loop, also known as the Veil Nebula, is a supernova remnant – the remains of the explosive death of a massive star. Studying images like these leads to discovery, but NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory provides another way to experience this data: three-dimensional (3D) models that allow people toContinue reading “Seeing the Cygnus Loop in a New Way”
