Plenty of times I find myself browsing and just enjoying what NASA has in their archive. View Live Site I have set pre-built searches in the sidebar – not just for fast searching, but also so that I could use the “rockets”, “moon”, “earth” and “space shuttles” icons. I ...
Ultimately, NASA wants to build a base on the moon for astronauts to live and work. Such a facility could also act as an operations center for the first crewed mission to Mars, which could launch from the lunar surface if scientists are able to effectively mine the moon’s water ice for...
NASA’s Perseverance Rover has spent almost a full Earth day on Mars. The new images from “Percy”, as the craft has been nicknamed, has been sent back to Earth. The Perseverance rover had landed on the surface of Mars after a 480-million-kilometer journey capped off by ...
Sagan, a scientist and astronomer, coined the description of Earth as a "pale blue dot" while reflecting on a now-iconic image of the planet from space, taken byNASA's Voyager Iin 1990, at a distance 3.7 billion miles from the sun. "In these simple snapshots from Mars Express...
NASA NASA officially began operations on Oct. 1, 1958, as the primary organization for U.S. civil aerospace research and development. Just 11 years later, NASA landed the first human on the moon in 1969. In the 1970s, the focus shifted to developing a space station.Skylab was launched, ...

The Juno spacecraft has gradually shortened its orbital path around Jupiter on its extended mission, allowing it to move closer to the planet's moons. However, this increases the likelihood of collisions or damage from radiation.NASA / JPL-Caltech / SwRI...
Earth Rising From the Moon.Image Credit: NASA Beginning with theApollomissions to the Moon, astronauts succeeded in showing us our planet as it looks from other worlds. This one shows how lovely and small Earth really is. What will be our next steps in space?Light sails to other planets?
The European and Canadian space agencies joined NASA in building and launching the powerful telescope. Amber Straughn, Webb deputy project scientist, said: "Today for the first time we're seeing brand new stars that were previously completely hidden from our view. ...
ESA wasn't the first to do something like this: NASA's Galileo spacecraft observed Venus' clouds about 1.7 million miles from the planet in February 1990. The above image, however, shows the planet's southern hemisphere from a distance of 22,000 miles from the surface. ...
