official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Maybe you read about them in the papers–amateur astronomers in Japan, Russia, France, Finland, and the United States have been pulling all-nighters to spot extraordinary exoplanets, planets orbiting stars other than the Sun.  NASA’s UNITE project holds these planetary stakeouts several times every month, and you can join in! This October,Continue reading “UNITE All-Nighter Delights Amateur Astronomers”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA is hosting virtual activities ahead of the launch of the PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) mission and invites you to share in the fun. The PACE mission will help us better understand how the ocean and atmosphere exchange carbon dioxide, measure key atmospheric variables associated with air qualityContinue reading “NASA Invites Public to Share in Excitement of PACE Mission Launch”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY On Feb. 3, 1994, space shuttle Discovery took off on its 18th flight, STS-60. Its six-person crew of Commander Charles F. Bolden, Pilot Kenneth S. Reightler, and Mission Specialists N. Jan Davis, Ronald M. Sega, Franklin R. Chang-Díaz, who served as payload commander, and Sergei K. Krikalev of the RussianContinue reading “30 Years Ago: STS-60, the First Shuttle-Mir Mission”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY This new NASA Hubble Space Telescope image shows ESO 185-IG013, a luminous blue compact galaxy (BCG). BCGs are nearby galaxies that show an intense burst of star formation. They are unusually blue in visible light, which sets them apart from other high-starburst galaxies that emit more infrared light. Astrophysicists study BCGs becauseContinue reading “Hubble Sees a Merged Galaxy”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Say cheese, Moon. We’re coming in for a close-up. As Intuitive Machines’ Nova-C lander descends toward the Moon, four tiny NASA cameras will be trained on the lunar surface, collecting imagery of how the surface changes from interactions with the spacecraft’s engine plume. Developed at NASA’s Langley Research Center inContinue reading “Tiny NASA Cameras to Picture Interaction Between Lander, Moon’s Surface”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY As the world looks for sustainable solutions, a system tapping into NASA satellite data for water management has passed a critical test. Called OpenET, the system uses an ensemble of six satellite-driven models that harness publicly available data from the Landsat program to calculate evapotranspiration (ET)—the movement of water vaporContinue reading “OpenET Moisture Measurement Tool is Proving Highly Accurate”

This test series is critical for future flights of NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket in support of the ArtemisContinue reading “First Hot Fire Test of the Year for Artemis”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY By Savannah Bullard NASA has selected Alabama A&M University’s Agribition Center in Huntsville, Alabama, to host the final level of the agency’s Break the Ice Lunar Challenge, using indoor and outdoor space to ground test the finalists’ solutions. The challenge opened in 2020 to find novel solutions for excavating icyContinue reading “NASA Taps Alabama A&M University to Host Break the Ice Lunar Challenge”
