NASA animated this years hurricane season in a gorgeous video

This visualization uses data from NASA satellites, combined with mathematical models in a computer simulation allow scientists to study the physical processes in our atmosphere. By following the sea salt that is evaporated from the ocean, you can see the storms of the 2017 hurricane season. Nov 17, 2017
What is Nasas Kilopower? This space nuclear reactor could be the key to colonizing Mars

What is Nasas Kilopower? This space nuclear reactor could be the key to colonizing Mars

According to Nasa, the space nuclear reactor tech could literally empower future Mars habitats, transforming Mars resources into water, oxygen and fuel – all the necessary requirements for humans to live on Mars long-term.The Kilopower could produce continuous electricity for 10 or more years in the harsh and extreme environments of the Red Planet. The technology is not dependent on solar power, which means that it could meet power demands even at night or during prolonged sunlight-reducing dust storms. Nov 16, 2017
NASAs Hubble space telescope captures supernovas light echo

NASAs Hubble space telescope captures supernovas light echo

Over a period of two-and-a-half years, NASAs Hubble Space Telescope observed the light echo of supernova SN 2014J in galaxy M82, located 11.4 million light-years away. The echo happens when light from the explosion bounces off a cloud of a giant cloud of gas and dust near the supernova. Nov 10, 2017
Nasa finds hole over ozone at its smallest since 1988

Nasa finds hole over ozone at its smallest since 1988

The hole in the ozone layer is at its smallest since 1988 and warmer climates could be the reason behind reduced depletion of the protective layer in the Earths atmosphere. In spite of this recovery, Nasa mentions that there is enough ozone depleting material in the atmosphere to cause significant damage. That is why the current hole, though small by records, is actually large by 1980s standards. Nov 3, 2017
Nasa: Ingredients for life at Saturns moon Enceladus

Nasa: Ingredients for life at Saturns moon Enceladus

Nasas Cassini spacecraft discovered hydrogen in the plume of gas and icy particles spraying from Saturns moon Enceladus. The discovery means the small, icy moon — which has a global ocean under its surface — has a source of chemical energy that could be useful for microbes, if any exist there. Nov 3, 2017
Nasa plans return to moon with Orion spacecraft

Nasa plans return to moon with Orion spacecraft

In 2019 Nasa plans to launch the first test of the Space Launch System and the new Orion spacecraft as part of Nasas plans to send people to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. A human test mission is scheduled for 2023. Nov 3, 2017
