official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY This article is for students grades 5-8 A black hole is a region in space where the pulling force of gravity is so strong that light is not able to escape. The strong gravity occurs because matter has been pressed into a tiny space. This compression can take place atContinue reading “What Is a Black Hole? (Grades 5-8)”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA has chosen three winners out of nine finalists in the fourth annual Power to Explore Challenge, a national writing competition designed to teach K-12 students about the enabling power of radioisotopes for space exploration. The essay competition asked students to learn about NASA’s radioisotope power systems (RPS), likened toContinue reading “NASA Selects Winners of the 2024-2025 Power to Explore Challenge”

For the first time, astronomers have probed the physical environment of repeating X-ray outbursts near monster black holes thanks to data from NASA’s NICER (Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer) and other missions. Scientists have only recently encountered this class of X-ray flares,Continue reading “NASA’s NICER Maps Debris From Recurring Cosmic Crashes”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY 1. Why is the International Space Station up there? The International Space Station is a convergence of science, technology, and human innovation that enables research not possible on Earth for the benefit of humanity. For more than 25 years, NASA has supported a continuous U.S. human presence aboard the station,Continue reading “Spot the Station Frequently Asked Questions”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA is partnering with commercial industry to expand our knowledge of Earth, our solar system, and beyond. Recently, NASA collaborated with Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) to support data transfer for the agency’s SPHEREx (Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization and Ices Explorer) mission to explore theContinue reading “NASA Expands SPHEREx Science Return Through Commercial Partnership”
