Closest approach of comet Hartley 2 is expected to occur at roughly 9:50 am EDT, 6:50 am PDT)....Coalition launches Think Outside the Circle online campaign
The Coalition for Space Exploration today launched its Think Outside the Circle campaign with the release of an online public service announcement featuring the space shuttle Discovery on its final “rollout.” The 60-second online video depicts Discovery in unexpected...This Week: A Comet Close-Up!
NASA’s EPOXI mission is set for an up close and personal look at comet Hartley 2 on Thursday, November 4. Cameras onboard the mission spacecraft will get within 700 kilometers (that’s about 435 miles!) of the comet. The name EPOXI itself is a combination of the...Star Travel Study Led by NASA/DARPA
NASA and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) are joining forces to take the first step in the next era of space exploration – a journey between the stars. Called the 100-Year Starship study, the joint appraisal looks to develop the business case for...Upcoming Shuttle Flight: A Healthy Dose of Medical Investigation
Here’s a medical mix: the space shuttle, immune systems in space, and elderly and young children here on Earth. Onboard space shuttle Discovery’s STS-133 mission, there are sixteen rodent hitchhikers, riding in their own self-contained modules. The mice aboard...President Recognizes NASA for Assistance to Chilean Miners
President Obama offered praise this week to five from NASA for their efforts to assist with the rescue of 33 Chilean miners trapped a half mile underground for 69 days. The men were rescued on Oct. 13, an event broadcast live by CNN. Early on, Chile’s...NASA’s Bolden Tours China, Space Progress Noted
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden led a delegation to China earlier this month at the invitation of the China Manned Space Engineering Office (CMSE). While no specific proposals for cooperation were agreed to, Bolden has stated that the trip led to increased...Space Talk
The universe keeps getting stranger. 🌌
Scientists continue to discover planets, stars and cosmic phenomena that challenge what we thought we knew.
Every new discovery is another reminder: we’ve explored only a tiny fraction of what’s out there.
