official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Using archival data from the mission, launched in 1989, researchers have uncovered new evidence that tectonic activity may be deforming the planet’s surface. Vast, quasi-circular features on Venus’ surface may reveal that the planet has ongoing tectonics, according to new research based on data gathered more than 30 years agoContinue reading “NASA’s Magellan Mission Reveals Possible Tectonic Activity on Venus”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Analyzing gravity data collected by spacecraft orbiting other worlds reveals groundbreaking insights about planetary structures without having to land on the surface. Although the Moon and the asteroid Vesta are very different, two NASA studies use the same technique to reveal new details about the interiors of both. In theContinue reading “NASA Studies Reveal Hidden Secrets About Interiors of Moon, Vesta”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Is frozen water scattered in systems around other stars? Astronomers have long expected it is, partially based on previous detections of its gaseous form, water vapor, and its presence in our own solar system. Now there is definitive evidence: Researchers confirmed the presence of crystalline water ice in a dustyContinue reading “Another First: NASA Webb Identifies Frozen Water in Young Star System”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY April 24 marked the 35th anniversary of the launch of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. The iconic space observatory remains a household name —the most well-recognized and scientifically productive telescope in history. Engineers at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland played a significant role in how the telescope functions today.   NASAContinue reading “NASA Glenn Engineer Highlights Research for Hubble Servicing Missions “
