Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 17, 2025 New research from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA's XMM-Newton highlights the harsh space weather that planets around other stars may face. The study focused on the impact of X-rays on pote ... more Large and small galaxies may grow in ways...
(Jan. 31, 2013) as a long loop that stretched and broke apart as it burst into space. Much of the material actually fell back into Sun unable to break free of the Sun’s gravity. The images from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) were taken in a wavelength of extreme ...
SpaceX will attempt to land the first stage of its 14-story Falcon 9 rocket after launching the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR for short) from Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida. Liftoff is set for Sunday, Feb. 8, at 6:10 p.m. EST (2310 GMT) and will be webcast live...
L2 is considered the ideal vantage point for an IR observatory and, following WMAP, several mission (e.g. Herschel, Planck, GAIA, JWST) will be operated at L2. In order to measure a large number of sources, one needs multi-object spectroscopic capability over an area of the order of 1...
Using data fromNASA’s Orbiting Carbon Observatory 3 (OCO-3) instrument on theInternational Space Station, researchers have released one of the most accurate maps ever made from space of the human influence on carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The map shows tiny variati...
In the meantime, astronomers will soon have another advanced observatory to help search for potentially habitable exoplanets. It’s calledPandora, a small satellite that was selected in 2021 as part of NASA’s call forPioneer mission concepts. This observatory is designed to study planets detected ...
Cosmic RaysSolar minimum is underway. The sun's magnetic field is weak, allowing extra cosmic rays into the solar system. Neutron counts from the University of Oulu's Sodankyla Geophysical Observatory show that cosmic rays reaching Earth in 2020 are near a Space Age peak. ...
