NASA’s Parker Solar Probe Spies Solar Wind ‘U-Turn’
official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Images captured by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe as the spacecraft made its record-breaking closest approach to the Sun in December 2024 have now revealed new details about how solar magnetic fields responsible for space weather escape from the Sun — and how sometimes they don’t. Like a toddler, our SunContinue reading “NASA’s Parker Solar Probe Spies Solar Wind ‘U-Turn’”
NASA Works with Boeing, Other Collaborators Toward More Efficient Global Flights
official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Picture this: You’re just about done with a transoceanic flight, and the tracker in your seat-back screen shows you approaching your destination airport. And then … you notice your plane is moving away. Pretty far away. You approach again and again, only to realize you’re on a long, circling loopContinue reading “NASA Works with Boeing, Other Collaborators Toward More Efficient Global Flights “
NASA’s Chandra Finds Small Galaxies May Buck the Black Hole Trend
official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Most smaller galaxies may not have supermassive black holes in their centers, according to a recent study using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. This contrasts with the common idea that nearly every galaxy has one of these giant black holes within their cores, as NASA leads the world in exploring howContinue reading “NASA’s Chandra Finds Small Galaxies May Buck the Black Hole Trend”
Stellar Jet
official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured a blowtorch of seething gasses erupting from a volcanically growing monster star in this image released on Sept. 10, 2025. Stellar jets, which are powered by the gravitational energy released as a star grows in mass, encode the formation history of the protostar. This imageContinue reading “Stellar Jet”
