Viewers will have the opportunity to hear from NASA astronauts live and ask questions about life in orbit.Continue reading “NASA Goes Live: First Twitch Stream from Space Station”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY On most nights, weather permitting, you can spot at least one bright planet in the night sky. While two or three planets are commonly visible in the hours around sunset, occasionally four or five bright planets can be seen simultaneously with the naked eye. These events, often called “planet parades”Continue reading “Planetary Alignments and Planet Parades”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The old saying — “Practice makes perfect!” — applies to the Moon too. On Tuesday, NASA gave 17 technologies, instruments, and experiments the chance to practice being on the Moon… without actually going there. Instead, it was a flight test aboard a vehicle adapted to simulate lunar gravity for approximatelyContinue reading “NASA Tests in Simulated Lunar Gravity to Prep Payloads for Moon”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY This image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, released on Feb. 4, 2025, shows the gargantuan galaxy LEDA 1313424, aptly nicknamed the Bullseye. A far smaller blue dwarf galaxy went through the Bullseye’s center, leaving nine star-filled rings. Astronomers using Hubble identified eight visible rings, more than previously detected by any telescopeContinue reading “Bullseye!”

This “pep talk” roughly describes how new NASA technology works within satellite swarms. This technology, called Distributed Spacecraft Autonomy (DSA), allows individual spacecraft to make independent decisions while collaborating with each other to achieveContinue reading “NASA Demonstrates Software ‘Brains’ Shared Across Satellite Swarms  “

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The spacecraft’s star trackers help engineers orient the orbiter throughout its long journey to Jupiter’s icy moon Europa. Three months after its launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the agency’s Europa Clipper has another 1.6 billion miles (2.6 billion kilometers) to go before it reaches Jupiter’s orbit inContinue reading “En Route to Jupiter, NASA’s Europa Clipper Captures Images of Stars”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY An interesting fact about Johnson Space Center’s Anika Isaac, MS, LPC, LMFT, LCDC, CEAP, NCC, is that there are more letters following her name than there are in it. A licensed professional counselor, marriage and family therapist, and chemical dependency counselor with several other certifications, Isaac has been a fixtureContinue reading “In the Starlight: Anika Isaac’s Mission to Counsel NASA’s Workforce”

Enter Confluence—a groundbreaking, open-source framework leveraging NASA’s SWOT mission and HLS data to estimate river discharge and sediment levels worldwide. Hosted by PO.DAAC, Confluence delivers rapid, global insights, revolutionizing hydrology with cloud-based efficiency. A game changer forContinue reading “NASA’s Cloud-based Confluence Software Helps Hydrologists Study Rivers on a Global Scale”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a cosmic bullseye! The gargantuan galaxy LEDA 1313424 is rippling with nine star-filled rings after an “arrow” — a far smaller blue dwarf galaxy — shot through its heart. Astronomers using Hubble identified eight visible rings, more than previously detected by any telescope inContinue reading “Straight Shot: Hubble Investigates Galaxy with Nine Rings”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The Mars 2020 Perseverance rover continues to live up to its name, pushing forward in search of ancient Martian secrets. Following a brief period of system verification and remote testing, our operations team is back at full strength, and Perseverance has been hard at work uncovering new geological insights. WeContinue reading “Persevering Through Science”
