official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY In a recently published paper, NASA scientists use nearly 20 years of observations to show that the global water cycle is shifting in unprecedented ways. The majority of those shifts are driven by activities such as agriculture and could have impacts on ecosystems and water management, especially in certain regions.Continue reading “NASA Scientists Find New Human-Caused Shifts in Global Water Cycle”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Planets around other stars need to be prepared for extreme weather conditions, according to a new study from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA’s (European Space Agency’s) XMM-Newton that examined the effects of X-rays on potential planets around the most common type of stars. Astronomers found that only a planetContinue reading “Exoplanets Need to Be Prepared for Extreme Space Weather, Chandra Finds”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY For decades, scientists have tried in vain to accurately predict solar flares — intense bursts of light on the Sun that can send a flurry of charged particles into the solar system. Now, using NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, one team has identified flickering loops in the solar atmosphere, or corona,Continue reading “NASA Solar Observatory Sees Coronal Loops Flicker Before Big Flares”

At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida, workers in the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) stacked the rocket for the mission, the final Saturn rocket assembled forContinue reading “50 Years Ago: Preparing the Final Saturn Rocket for Flight”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY For humans, the most important star in the universe is our Sun. The second-most important star is nestled inside the Andromeda galaxy. Don’t go looking for it — the flickering star is 2.2 million light-years away, and is 1/100,000th the brightness of the faintest star visible to the human eye.Continue reading “NASA Celebrates Edwin Hubble’s Discovery of a New Universe”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY A suite of NASA scientific investigations and technology demonstrations is on its way to our nearest celestial neighbor aboard a commercial spacecraft, where they will provide insights into the Moon’s environment and test technologies to support future astronauts landing safely on the lunar surface under the agency’s Artemis campaign. CarryingContinue reading “Liftoff! NASA Sends Science, Tech to Moon on Firefly, SpaceX Flight”
