official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY There is no GPS at the Red Planet, but a new technology called Mars Global Localization lets Perseverance determine precisely where it is — without human help.  Imagine you’re all alone, driving along in a rocky, unforgiving desert with no roads, no map, no GPS, and no more than one phone call a day for someone to inform you exactly where you are. That’s what NASA’s Perseverance rover has been experiencing since landing on Mars five years ago. Though it carries time-tested tools for determining its general location, the rover has needed operators on Earth to tell it precisely where itContinue reading “NASA’s Perseverance Now Autonomously Pinpoints Its Location on Mars”

Not because she wasn’t inspired by the dark, star-filled skies of her hometown Shelby, Ohio, but because it felt out ofContinue reading “I Am Artemis: Katie Oriti”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY In the vast tapestry of the universe, most galaxies shine brightly across cosmic time and space. Yet a rare class of galaxies remains nearly invisible — low-surface-brightness galaxies dominated by dark matter and containing only a sparse scattering of faint stars. One such elusive object, dubbed CDG-2, may be amongContinue reading “NASA’s Hubble Identifies One of Darkest Known Galaxies”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY On February 5, 2026, the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) on NASA’s Terra satellite acquired this image of snow-covered landscapes across Hokkaido. With more than 31 active volcanoes, the island features several large caldera lakes, including at least five that are visible in the image. (Calderas are large depressions formed by volcanic eruptions.) In the east,Continue reading “Stormy, Snowy Winter for Hokkaido”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY High-altitude flight is getting increasing attention from sectors ranging from telecommunications to emergency response. To make that airspace more accessible, NASA is developing an air traffic management system covering those altitudes and supplementing its work with real-time data from a research balloon in Earth’s stratosphere.  Aircraft at high altitudes – 50,000 feet or higher, or roughly 10,000 to 20,000 feet aboveContinue reading “NASA Advances High-Altitude Traffic Management”
