Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 67 Flight Engineers Raja Chari, Tom Marshburn, and Kayla Barron of NASA and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Matthias Maurer reflected back and discussed their six-month mission...

Astronomers have sighted the outermost star the in known universe. Icarus, or LS1, is 9 billion years from Earth. Hubble saw it because of gravitational lensing, where distant star light is bent and magnified via the gravity of a passing...

A mysterious anomaly in the Earth’s magnetic field that stretches from South America to Africa is spreading.

On June 15, 2020, a citizen scientist spotted a never-before-seen comet in data from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, or SOHO — the 4,000th comet discovery in the spacecraft’s 25-year history....

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center scientist Andrew Sayer talks about how emissions from volcanoes can affect clouds. This video provides an overview of research published in the Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. Research:...

The collective power of space-based Earth observations from NASA, ESA (the European Space Agency), and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to see global changes around the world has been harnessed to produce the...

Comet C/2012 S1 (ISON) may become one of the most dazzling in decades when it rounds the sun later this year. Like all comets, ISON is a clump of frozen gases mixed with dust. Often described as "dirty snowballs," comets...

A new spacecraft is journeying to the Sun to snap the first pictures of the Sun’s north and south poles. Solar Orbiter, a collaboration between ESA (the European Space Agency) and NASA will have its first...

Landsat is not the only satellite orbiting Earth and sending back data. It takes a team of data sets to get the full picture of what’s happening down on the surface of Earth. Episode 4 shows how Landsat is...

This video shows how NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is designed to fold to a much smaller size in order to fit inside the Ariane V rocket for launch to space. The largest, most complex space observatory ever built, must fold...

Scientists are starting to understand how solar storms use currents in Earth’s magnetic shield to land some punches.

In July 2020, ESA elected to slightly perturb the orbit of CryoSat-2 to increase the overlap with ICESat-2. Given their different orbit altitudes, the result is a roughly 1,864-mile (3,000-km) stretch of sea ice that is...

For the second straight year, NASA's Operation IceBridge is collaborating with the European Space Agency's CryoVEx program, flying aircraft low over Arctic sea ice while ESA's CryoSat satellite orbits above. In this video, IceBridge...

A bright comet fell into the sun on October 2, 2011 in synch with a coronal mass ejection bursting out on the other side. <b<br/>r/>

An Earth-directed coronal mass ejection (CME) on Jan. 31, 2013 was accompanied by a large prominence eruption best visible in light with a wavelength of 304 angstroms. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this footage from...

Oye, y ¿por qué no? ABRE ESTA CAJITA Y RECIBIRÁS SORPR

This video provides a comprehensive description of the International Space Station (ISS). It highlights the collaborative efforts of governments, scientists, and engineers from around the world in creating this remarkable scientific marvel.

LISA Pathfinder, a mission led by the European Space Agency (ESA) with contributions from NASA, has successfully tested a key technology needed to build a space-based observatory for detecting gravitational waves....

The Endangered Species Act

The European Space Agency's Venus Express mission saw something it could not explain. It appeared that there were holes on the nightside of Venus' ionosphere. Researchers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center investigated these...

The European Space Agency’s space observatory Gaia may have found an explanation for the warped shape of the Milky Way Galaxy, which is bent into an S shape. <br/>

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is folded and ready for its final suite of testing.



The James Webb Space Telescope will be the world’s premier space science observatory and will solve mysteries in our...

LISA Pathfinder, a mission led by ESA (the European Space Agency) that included NASA contributions, successfully demonstrated technologies needed to build a future space-based gravitational wave observatory, a...

The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, a joint mission between ESA (the European Space Agency) and NASA, was not designed to find comets — its original goal was to study the Sun from its deep core to the outer layers...
