While NASA's NEOWISE telescope ended its journey through space on Nov. 1, 2024, the team at IPAC, a science center at Caltech, was working on one further gift from the prolific mission.
The final data release from NEOWISE was released to the astronomy community just two weeks later, on Nov. 14, encompassing over 26 million images and nearly 200 billion sources detected by the telescope.

NASA has awarded a $20.5 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, for the development of Suprathermal Ion Sensors as part of NOAA's Space Weather Next Program. These sensors will be critical for the Lagrange 1 Series project, providing real-time data to improve space weather forecasting.

The elusive solar corona, a faint, ultra-hot layer of the Sun, has intrigued scientists for centuries. This region, responsible for solar winds and storms, is usually obscured by the Sun's intense light. While natural solar eclipses or specially designed instruments have provided glimpses, ESA's Proba-3 mission is poised to offer unprecedented access through advanced technology.
