Untangling a knot of galaxy clusters
Boston MA (SPX) Jan 31, 2023
Astronomers have captured a spectacular, ongoing collision between at least three galaxy clusters. Data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, ESA's (European Space Agency's) XMM-Newton, and a trio of radio telescopes is helping astronomers sort out what is happening in this jumbled scene. Collisions and mergers like this are the main way that galaxy clusters can grow into the gigantic cosmic ed

Watch distant worlds dance around their sun
Evanston IL (SPX) Jan 31, 2023
In 2008, HR8799 was the first extrasolar planetary system ever directly imaged. Now, the famed system stars in its very own video.
Using observations collected over the past 12 years, Northwestern University astrophysicist Jason Wang has assembled a stunning time lapse video of the family of four planets - each more massive than Jupiter - orbiting their star. The video gives viewers an unp

Will machine learning help us find extraterrestrial life
Mountain View CA (SPX) Jan 31, 2023
When pondering the probability of discovering technologically advanced extraterrestrial life, the question that often arises is, "if they're out there, why haven't we found them yet?" And often, the response is that we have only searched a tiny portion of the galaxy. Further, algorithms developed decades ago for the earliest digital computers can be outdated and inefficient when applied to moder

Perseverance completes Mars Sample Depot
Pasadena CA (JPL) Jan 31, 2023
Less than six weeks after it began, construction of the first sample depot on another world is complete. Confirmation that NASA's Perseverance Mars rover successfully dropped the 10th and final tube planned for the depot was received around 5 p.m. PST (8 p.m. EST) Sunday, Jan. 29, by mission controllers at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California.

Columbia disaster that scuttled the space shuttle
America may now be aiming to put astronauts back on the Moon, but for years the United States turned its back on manned missions after the Columbia space shuttle disaster.
Its space program suffered a catastrophic setback when all seven astronauts were killed when the shuttle broke up on re-entering the Earth's atmosphere 20 years ago on February 1, 2003.
It was the second shuttle disaster after the Challenger explosion of 1986 which also killed the crew and led to sharp criticism of the safety culture at NASA.
The shuttle fleet was grounded for two and a half years and it sparked a major shift in American space flights.

Dust bedevils Perseverance with damaging winds
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 29, 2023
Scientists working on the Perseverance Mars 2020 rover mission have uncovered new insights about dust devils on the Red Planet, thanks to the meteorological sensors on the Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer (MEDA) instrument. The mission, which landed in Jezero crater in February 2020, has observed a high abundance of dust devils, with small seasonal variability.
