official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY For millennia, musicians have looked to the heavens for inspiration. Now a new collaboration is enabling actual data from NASA telescopes to be used as the basis for original music that can be played by humans. Since 2020, the “sonification” project at NASA’s Chandra X-ray Center has translated the digital data taken by telescopes into notesContinue reading “NASA Telescope Data Becomes Music You Can Play”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Airplane engines are loud – just ask anyone who lives near an airport. Increased air traffic from next-generation aircraft has the potential for even more disruptive noise. Researchers and engineers at NASA are working to reduce noise generated by turbofan engines, but each new design requires certification and testing toContinue reading “Modeling Turbofan Engines to Understand Aircraft Noise”

Carr (right), commander, on the other end of the orbital workshop on Feb. 1, 1974. Also in the frame are parts of three spacesuits, used onContinue reading “A View Through Skylab”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Interstate 10, an artery that cuts through the rural drylands of southern New Mexico, is one of the country’s deadliest roadways. On one stretch of the highway, just north of a dry lakebed called Lordsburg Playa, fatal collisions occur with such regularity that officials often call it the “dust trap.”Continue reading “Satellite Data Can Help Limit the Dangers of Windblown Dust”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The remotely operated facility aboard the International Space Station has created another tool that researchers can use to probe the fundamental nature of the world around us. For the first time in space, scientists have produced a quantum gas containing two types of atoms. Accomplished with NASA’s Cold Atom LaboratoryContinue reading “NASA’s Cold Atom Lab Sets Stage for Quantum Chemistry in Space”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY A new study could explain the ‘missing’ exoplanets between super-Earths and sub-Neptunes. Some exoplanets seem to be losing their atmospheres and shrinking. In a new study using NASA’s retired Kepler Space Telescope, astronomers find evidence of a possible cause: The cores of these planets are pushing away their atmospheres fromContinue reading “NASA Data Reveals Possible Reason Some Exoplanets Are Shrinking”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Scientists are following neon signs in a search for clues to one planetary system’s future and the past of another – our own solar system. Following up on a peculiar reading by NASA’s previous infrared flagship observatory, the now-retired Spitzer Space Telescope, the agency’s James Webb Space Telescope detected distinctContinue reading “Webb Follows Neon Signs Toward New Thinking on Planet Formation”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic aircraft continues to make progress, most recently moving to the paint barn at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works’ facility in Palmdale, California. The X-59’s paint scheme will include a mainly white body, a NASA “sonic blue” underside, and red accents on the wings. The paint doesn’t justContinue reading “NASA’s X-59 Goes from Green to Red, White, and Blue”
