official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Asteroid Bennu, sampled by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission in 2023, is a mixture of dust that formed in our solar system, organic matter from interstellar space, and pre-solar system stardust. Its unique and varied contents were dramatically transformed over time by interactions with water and exposure to the harsh space environment.Continue reading “NASA’s Bennu Samples Reveal Complex Origins, Dramatic Transformation”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The Lunar Environment Structural Test Rig simulates the intense cold of the lunar night, ranging from 40 Kelvin (K) to 125 K while maintaining a vacuum environment. This creates a tool by which scientists and engineers can test materials, electronics, and flight hardware for future Moon and Mars missions, characterizingContinue reading “Lunar Environment Structural Test Rig”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image offers a new view of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 2835, which lies 35 million light-years away in the constellation Hydra (the Water Snake). The galaxy’s spiral arms are dotted with young blue stars sweeping around an oval-shaped center where older stars reside. ThisContinue reading “Hubble Observes Noteworthy Nearby Spiral Galaxy”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers took this photo of California’s San Francisco Bay Area surrounded by the cities of San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose, and their suburbs on Aug. 3, 2025. At the time, the International Space Station orbited 260 miles above the Golden State. The International Space Station servesContinue reading “Cities by the Bay”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY On Sept. 11, 2022, engineers at a flight control center in Turin, Italy, sent a radio signal into deep space. Its destination was NASA’s DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft flying toward an asteroid more than 5 million miles away. The message prompted the spacecraft to execute a series of pre-programmedContinue reading “Close-Up Views of NASA’s DART Impact to Inform Planetary Defense”
