official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s powerful James Webb Space Telescope includes asteroids on its list of objects studied and secrets revealed.  A team led by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge repurposed Webb’s observations of a distant star to reveal a population of small asteroids — smaller than astronomers had ever detectedContinue reading “NASA’s Webb Reveals Smallest Asteroids Yet Found in Main Asteroid Belt”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Known as flow formations, these channels could be etched on bodies that would seem inhospitable to liquid because they are exposed to the extreme vacuum conditions of space. Pocked with craters, the surfaces of many celestial bodies in our solar system provide clear evidence of a 4.6-billion-year battering by meteoroidsContinue reading “Lab Work Digs Into Gullies Seen on Giant Asteroid Vesta by NASA’s Dawn”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Instead of a winter wonderland, the Red Planet’s northern hemisphere goes through an active — even explosive — spring thaw. While New Year’s Eve is around the corner here on Earth, Mars scientists are ahead of the game: The Red Planet completed a trip around the Sun on Nov. 12,Continue reading “Avalanches, Icy Explosions, and Dunes: NASA Is Tracking New Year on Mars”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA completed the first maximum afterburner engine run test on its X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft on Dec. 12. The ground test, conducted at Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works facility in Palmdale, California, marks a significant milestone as the X-59 team progresses toward flight. An afterburner is a component of someContinue reading “NASA Runs X-59 Engine with Maximum Afterburner for First Time”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The Moon may look like barren rock, but it’s actually covered in a layer of gravel, pebbles, and dust collectively known as “lunar regolith.” During the Apollo Moon missions, astronauts learned firsthand that the fine, powdery dust – electromagnetically charged due to constant bombardment by solar and cosmic particles –Continue reading “NASA Science Payload to Study Sticky Lunar Dust Challenge”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY  “Trying to do stellar observations from Earth is like trying to do birdwatching from the bottom of a lake.” James B. Odom, Hubble Program Manager 1983-1990. The third servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope, placed in orbit in 1990, occurred during the STS-103 mission in December 1999. During theContinue reading “25 Years Ago: STS-103, The Hubble Servicing Mission-3A”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY High school students in Indiana are contributing to NASA’s groundbreaking research to develop quieter, more fuel-efficient aircraft engines. Their learning experience is a collaboration between aircraft noise researchers from NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland and educators from the University of Notre Dame’s Turbomachinery Laboratory. The collaboration aims to encourageContinue reading “NASA, Notre Dame Connect Students to Inspire STEM Careers”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY It’s the holiday season — which means many are taking to the skies to join their loved ones. If you’ve ever used an app to navigate on a road trip, you’ve probably noticed how it finds you the most efficient route to your destination, even before you depart. To thatContinue reading “NASA Flight Rerouting Tool Curbs Delays, Emissions”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the spiral galaxy NGC 2566, which sits 76 million light-years away in the constellation Puppis. A prominent bar of stars stretches across the center of this galaxy, and spiral arms emerge from each end of the bar. Because NGC 2566 appears tilted fromContinue reading “Hubble Spies a Cosmic Eye”
