official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Since NASA’s Artemis II crew members safely splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on April 10 after their record-setting mission around the Moon, science teams have been busy collecting more data and combing through observations collected on the test flight. Results from these science investigations will help support safe humanContinue reading “NASA’s Artemis II Moon Mission Research Continues on Earth”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY As Earth’s oceans warm, microscopic marine organisms are experiencing increasing stress due to a lack of vital nutrients. A new study combining NASA satellite observations, ocean surveys, and genetic testing on marine microorganisms suggests that warming ocean waters are limiting nutrient availability across much of the global ocean, with the potential to reshape marine ecosystems. Continue reading “NASA Satellites Uncover Large-Scale Ocean Nutrient Stress “

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY One year after Gemini IV astronaut Edward H. White completed NASA’s first spacewalk the agency prepared for a demanding second excursion. Originally scheduled for Gemini VIII, the extravehicular activity (EVA) was reassigned to Gemini IX-A after that mission ended early, with Gene Cernan taking on the task. On June 5,Continue reading “First Steps: America’s Grueling Second Spacewalk”
