A collaboration of scientists from NASA and Brazilian research institutions has produced a detailed picture of groundwater change across Brazil. The images reveal significant declines in some of the aquifers that are critical to one of the world’s largest agricultural producers. In the study, published June 3 in Science Advances, researchers used artificial intelligence to […]
3D bioprinting and stem cell research were the main research topics aboard the International Space Station on Thursday. The Expedition 74 crew members also photographed growing plants and lab windows for inspection while continuing to pack a U.S. cargo spacecraft.
48 undergraduate students from across the country are gathered to participate in a once-in-a-lifetime experience of hands-on science and data-gathering with NASA scientists and university mentors.
NASA satellite images show that mangrove forests, which protect shorelines, support coastal ecosystems, and store large amounts of carbon along saltwater coasts, are more resilient than scientists once believed. Four decades of Landsat observations reveal that mangrove forest coverage shifted from long-term decline to expansion, with the rebound beginning in 2010. The forests have long […]
The final booster motor segments for NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket that will help propel Artemis III astronauts on their journey to space shipped from Northrop Grumman’s Railyard Shipping Facility in Corinne, Utah on June 2. The eight booster motor segments are on their way to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida where they […]
We’re kicking off the inaugural Roman blog post with a launch update: NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is officially slated to launch Aug. 30, eight months ahead of schedule and even earlier than previously targeted. With less than three months to go, the Roman team now is finishing up final tasks. Engineers are currently […]
Wednesday’s science schedule aboard the International Space Station encompassed human research, microbial analysis, and 3D bioprinting to advance health on and off the Earth. The Expedition 74 crew members also worked on spacesuit maintenance and cargo spacecraft duties throughout the day rounding out their shift.
Particles traveling close to the speed of light near Jupiter were captured by NASA’s Juno mission, providing new evidence for how and where high-energy particles, including cosmic rays, form. Astronomers have sought the origins of cosmic rays since their discovery more than 100 years ago. These energetic particles can come from many sources, including supernovas […]
The Sun emitted strong solar flare, peaking at 7:28 a.m. ET on June 3. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the Sun constantly, captured an image of the event. Solar flares are powerful bursts of energy. Flares and solar eruptions can impact radio communications, electric power grids, navigation signals, and pose risks to spacecraft and […]
Microbiology, biotechnology, and physics were the dominant research themes aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday as the Expedition 74 crew explored how microgravity affects bacteria, cartilage growth, and metallic structure. Scientific hardware maintenance rounded out the schedule for the orbital residents to ensure continuous experimental operations.
