Mayflower
No no December. In the last few years, I have been repeatedly asked to go to the church by my boss and his wife. I have also involuntarily prayed to their god during company’s lunches or meetings. I have been expressed many times that I do not believe anything beyond our physical world. But, my boss... »
What a big mess
Materials formed in different times and places in space mixed “a whole lot” during the solar system’s formation, according to an international team of scientists who studied comet particles captured by NASA’s Stardust spacecraft in January 2004. “Comet dust seems to be a real zoo of things; we see all kinds of particles that are... »
The world is getting "warmer"
The United Nations’ World Meteorological Organization says the Austrian Alps have as little as one-third the seasonal average of snow. Temperatures from Norway to the Mediterranean are up to 5 degrees warmer than normal. We won’t see ice at Arctic Ocean by 2080, according to Eberhard Fahrbach of the Alfred Wegner Institute (AWI), Germany.... »
Mars' Victoria Crater
This stereo view of Mars’ Victoria Crater combines two of the three images taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. A red-colored image was acquired with the orbiter pointed 3.84 degrees to the west and a blue-colored one with the orbiter pointed 16.2 degrees to... »
Climate Warming Reduces Ocean Food Supply
NASA scientists have concluded that when Earth’s climate warms, there is a reduction in the ocean’s primary food supply. This poses a potential threat to fisheries and ecosystems. By comparing nearly a decade of global ocean satellite data with several records of Earth’s changing climate, scientists found that whenever climate temperatures warmed, marine plant... »
Why moon?
If you asked 100 people why we should return to the moon, you’d probably get 100 answers – or more! Over the past year, NASA posed this question not just to 100 people, but to more than 1,000 from around the world. Scientists, engineers, commercial entrepreneurs, space advocates, and the general public all provided... »
Ring Nebula – a flower in sky
NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope finds a delicate flower in the Ring Nebula, as shown in this image. The outer shell of this planetary nebula looks surprisingly similar to the delicate petals of a camellia blossom. (A planetary nebula is a shell of material ejected from a dying star.) Located about 2,000 light years from... »
Godspeed
This replica of the 17th century ship Godspeed was under full sail when it cruised past the Statute of Liberty in New York harbor. A team from NASA traveled with the Godspeed to six East Coast ports during the summer with an interactive exhibit highlighting the connections between the adventurous men and women who... »
Visualization of flow at F-16
This 1992 photo shows an F-16 Scamp model being tested in the Basic Aerodynamics Research Tunnel or BART, at NASA’s Langeley Research Center. The photo shows a basic flow visualization test using smoke and a laser light sheet to illuminate the smoke. The testing took place as part of NASA’s High Speed Research Program.... »
Nanotube
A nanotube is a tiny, hollow, long, thin and strong tube with an outside diameter of a nanometer that is formed from atoms such as carbon. A hair from a person’s head is around 50,000 nanometers wide. If you split a hair into 50,000 strands, that would be the width of a nanometer. Nanotubes are... »
