official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s Dawn spacecraft took this image of Ceres’ south polar region on May 17, 2017. Launched on Sept. 27, 2007, Dawn was NASA’s first truly interplanetary spaceship. The mission featured extended stays at two extraterrestrial bodies:  giant asteroid Vesta and dwarf planet Ceres, both in the debris-strewn main asteroid belt between MarsContinue reading “NASA’s Dawn Sees Crescent Ceres”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA received the upper stage for the agency’s Artemis II SLS (Space Launch System) rocket on Mar. 4 supplied by Boeing and United Launch Alliance (ULA). Known as the interim cryogenic propulsion stage, it arrived at the Multi Payload Processing Facility (MPPF) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. TheContinue reading “Artemis II Upper Stage Delivered to Kennedy”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The Flame Nebula, located about 1,400 light-years away from Earth, is a hotbed of star formation less than 1 million years old. Within the Flame Nebula, there are objects so small that their cores will never be able to fuse hydrogen like full-fledged stars—brown dwarfs. Brown dwarfs, often called “failedContinue reading “NASA’s Webb Peers Deeper into Mysterious Flame Nebula”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Will you design the zero gravity indicator (ZGI) that accompanies the Artemis II mission around the Moon? If your design is one of the most compelling and resonates with the global community and the Artemis II astronauts, your design might fly into space aboard the Orion spacecraft and you couldContinue reading “Moon Mascot: NASA Artemis II ZGI Design Challenge”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Challenges to measuring space-induced brain changes Researchers found that an upward shift in the brain during spaceflight makes it hard to distinguish different types of tissue, causing errors in determining changes in brain volume. Previous studies have interpreted these changes as evidence of adaptation to space. This finding suggests thatContinue reading “Station Science Top News: March 7, 2025”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY James Gentile always wanted to fly. As he prepared for an appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy to become a pilot, life threw him an unexpected curve: a diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. His appointment was rescinded.  With his dream grounded, Gentile had two choices—give up or chart aContinue reading “James Gentile: Shaping the Artemis Generation, One Simulation at a Time “

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Sweeping spiral arms extend from NGC 4536, littered with bright blue clusters of star formation and red clumps of hydrogen gas shining among dark lanes of dust. The galaxy’s shape may seem a little unusual, and that’s because it’s what’s known as an “intermediate galaxy”: not quite a barred spiral,Continue reading “Hubble Spies a Spectacular Starburst Galaxy”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY A tiny fraction of the stellar nursery known as Sh2-284 is visible in this glittering, star-filled NASA Hubble Space Telescope image. This immense region of gas and dust is the birthing place of stars, which shine among the clouds. Bright clusters of newborn stars glow pink in infrared light, andContinue reading “Hubble Unveils a Glittering View of Sh2-284”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY An open cluster of stars shines through misty, cocoon-like gas clouds in this Hubble Space Telescope image of NGC 460. NGC 460 is located in a region of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy that orbits the Milky Way. This particular region contains a number of young star clustersContinue reading “Hubble Examines Stars Ensconced in a Cocoon of Gas”
