official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY One of the galaxies from a galactic group known as Arp 295 is visible in this new NASA Hubble Space Telescope image, along with part of the faint 250,000-light-year-long bridge of stars and gas that stretches between two of the galaxies. The galaxies have passed close enough together that theirContinue reading “Hubble Captures a Faint Bridge of Stars”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY In late October, two research helicopters from the manufacturer Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, made a dozen test flights over Long Island Sound, Connecticut taking care to avoid other aircraft in the area around them. Except the ordinary-looking helicopters were flying autonomously – guided by NASA-designed software – and thoseContinue reading “NASA Autonomous Flight Software Successfully Used in Air Taxi Stand-Ins”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The first space-based observatory designed to detect gravitational waves has passed a major review and will proceed to the construction of flight hardware. On Jan. 25, ESA (European Space Agency), announced the formal adoption of LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, to its mission lineup, with launch slated for theContinue reading “NASA Collaborating on European-led Gravitational Wave Observatory in Space”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope observed the smallest exoplanet where water vapor has been detected in the atmosphere. At only approximately twice Earth’s diameter, the planet GJ 9827d could be an example of potential planets with water-rich atmospheres elsewhere in our galaxy. “This would be the first time thatContinue reading “NASA’s Hubble Finds Water Vapor in Small Exoplanet’s Atmosphere”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY As NASA continues to make progress toward sending astronauts to the lunar South Pole region with its Artemis campaign, data from a NASA-funded study is helping scientists better understand this strategic part of the Moon. The study presents evidence that moonquakes and faults generated as the Moon’s interior gradually coolsContinue reading “Shrinking Moon Causing Moonquakes and Faults Near Lunar South Pole”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY On Jan. 25, 1984, President Ronald W. Reagan directed NASA to build a permanently inhabited Earth orbiting space station within a decade. The President’s announcement turned years of NASA studies into a real program. As originally envisioned, the modular space station would use the space shuttle for assembly and serveContinue reading “40 Years Ago: President Reagan Directs NASA to Build a Space Station”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA, Northrop Grumman, and SpaceX are targeting 12:29 p.m. EST on Monday, Jan. 29, for the next launch to deliver science investigations, supplies, and equipment to the International Space Station for the agency and its partners. This launch is the 20th Northrop Grumman commercial resupply services mission to the orbitalContinue reading “NASA Sets Coverage for Northrop Grumman Cargo Space Station Mission”

The Dream Chaser event is scheduled to begin at 10:15 a.m.Continue reading “NASA, Sierra Space Invite Media to See Spaceplane for Cargo Missions”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s twin rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, stand on the Martian landscape in this poster created to commemorate their 20th landing anniversary. The rovers landed in January 2004, on opposite sides of the planet in locales that scientists suspected had been affected by liquid water in the past. Their main scientificContinue reading “Celebrating NASA’s Spirit and Opportunity Rovers’ Mars Landings”
