official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA is preparing for the demolition of three iconic structures at the agency’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Crews began demolition in mid-December at the Neutral Buoyancy Simulator, a facility built in the late 1960s that once enabled NASA astronauts and researchers to experience near-weightlessness. The facility wasContinue reading “NASA Marshall Prepares for Demolition of Historic Test, Simulation Facilities”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY After combing through NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s archive of sweeping extragalactic cosmic fields, a small team of astronomers at the University of Missouri says they have identified a sample of galaxies that have a previously unseen combination of features. Principal investigator Haojing Yan compares the discovery to an infamousContinue reading “Scientists Identify ‘Astronomy’s Platypus’ with NASA’s Webb Telescope”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have spotted two rare kinds of dust in the dwarf galaxy Sextans A, one of the most chemically primitive galaxies near the Milky Way. The finding of metallic iron dust and silicon carbide (SiC) produced by aging stars, along with tiny clumps ofContinue reading “NASA Webb Finds Early-Universe Analog’s Unexpected Talent for Making Dust”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA opens the International Space Station for scientists and researchers, inviting them to use the benefits of microgravity for commercial and public research, technology demonstrations, and more. Today, a portion of the crew’s time aboard station is devoted to private industry, including medical research that addresses complex health challenges onContinue reading “Space Station Research Informs New FDA-Approved Cancer Therapy”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s SPHEREx Observatory has mapped the entire sky in 102 infrared colors, as seen here in this image released on Dec. 18, 2025. This image features a selection of colors emitted primarily by stars (blue, green, and white), hot hydrogen gas (blue), and cosmic dust (red). While not visible toContinue reading “First Sky Map from NASA’s SPHEREx Observatory”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Growing up in Houston, Craig Shannon was always inspired by NASA and the spirit of exploration the agency represents. Yet it was a passion for scuba diving that unexpectedly led to his more than 23-year career at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. Shannon became a certified diver and scuba instructor whileContinue reading “Diving Into Human Spaceflight Safety with NASA Johnson’s Craig Shannon”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA announced Monday the selection of industry proposals to advance technologies for the agency’s Habitable Worlds Observatory concept – the first mission that would directly image Earth-like planets around stars like our Sun and study the chemical composition of their atmospheres for signs of life. This flagship space telescope alsoContinue reading “NASA Selects Tech Proposals to Advance Search-for-Life Mission”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY By Michael Allen  For the first time, scientists have used NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarization Explorer) to study a white dwarf star. Using IXPE’s unique X-ray polarization capability, astronomers examined a star called the intermediate polar EX Hydrae, unlocking the geometry of energetic binary systems.  In 2024, IXPE spent nearly one weekContinue reading “NASA’s IXPE Measures White Dwarf Star for First Time”
