The crew and its Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft will undock from the orbiting laboratory’s Rassvet module at 3:02 a.m. EDT Sunday, July 26, heading for a parachute-assisted landingContinue reading “NASA Sets Coverage for Astronaut Chris Williams, Crewmates Return”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory unveiled this new look at the galaxy NGC 4736, also known as Messier 94, on June 30, 2026. Messier 94 is a spiral galaxy with a bright inner ring around it, called a starburst ring, where new stars are forming, perhaps fueled by gas driven inContinue reading “A New Look – and Sound – for Messier 94”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY  NASA’s Juno mission has provided the first measurements of the temperature below the surface of Jupiter’s moon Io, revealing significant heating within the shallow subsurface of the most volcanically active world in the solar system. Collected during two close flybys, the data also shows that most of Io’s surface isContinue reading “NASA’s Juno Takes Temperature of Jupiter’s Fiery Moon Io”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Description This graphic illustrates the areas of Jupiter’s moon Io sampled by the Microwave Radiometer (MWR) instrument aboard NASA’s Juno spacecraft during two close flybys. The black overlapping lines show the instrument’s footprints during Perijove 57 on Dec. 30, 2023, when the spacecraft primarily mapped the northern hemisphere. The blueContinue reading “Mapping Io’s Hidden Heat With NASA’s Juno”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Description This map represents data captured by the Microwave Radiometer (MWR) aboard NASA’s Juno spacecraft, indicating heat rising from just beneath the surface of Jupiter’s moon Io. While infrared instruments measure the temperature of the moon’s surface, the lowest frequency microwave channels (0.6 and 1.25 gigahertz) on the MWR canContinue reading “NASA’s Juno Peers Beneath Io’s Surface”
