After nearly 20 years of operations, NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) is on a roll, performing a new maneuver to squeeze even more science out of the busy spacecraft as itContinue reading “NASA Mars Orbiter Learns New Moves After Nearly 20 Years in Space”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY In autumn 2024, California’s Monterey Bay experienced an outsized phytoplankton bloom that attracted fish, dolphins, whales, seabirds, and – for a few weeks in October – scientists. A team from NASA’s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, with partners at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), and the NavalContinue reading “By Air and by Sea: Validating NASA’s PACE Ocean Color Instrument”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY When two stars orbit one another in such a way that one blocks the other’s light each time it swings around, that’s an eclipsing binary. A new paper from NASA’s Eclipsing Binary Patrol citizen science project presents more than 10,000 of these rare pairs – 10,001 to be precise. These objectsContinue reading “NASA Citizen Scientists Find New Eclipsing Binary Stars”
