official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA needs your help identifying the shapes of thousands of galaxies in images taken by our James Webb Space Telescope with the Galaxy Zoo project. These classifications will help scientists answer questions about how the shapes of galaxies have changed over time, what caused these changes, and why. Thanks toContinue reading “Help Classify Galaxies Seen by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope!”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Since the big bang, the early universe had hydrogen, helium, and a scant amount of lithium. Later, some heavier elements, including iron, were forged in stars. But one of the biggest mysteries in astrophysics is: How did the first elements heavier than iron, such as gold, get created and distributedContinue reading “Where Does Gold Come From?

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Since last fall, NASA scientists have flown an advanced 3D Doppler wind lidar instrument across the United States to collect nearly 100 hours of data — including a flight through a hurricane. The goal? To demonstrate the unique capability of the Aerosol Wind Profiler (AWP) instrument to gather extremely preciseContinue reading “NASA 3D Wind Measuring Laser Aims to Improve Forecasts from Air, Space”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The Cygnus Loop, also known as the Veil Nebula, is a supernova remnant – the remains of the explosive death of a massive star. Studying images like these leads to discovery, but NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory provides another way to experience this data: three-dimensional (3D) models that allow people toContinue reading “Seeing the Cygnus Loop in a New Way”
