HSF creates tools, technologies, and knowledge that will help eliminate today’s [...]
Photo of the Day What’s looking back at you isn’t a cosmic eye, but Shapley 1, a beautifully symmetric planetary nebula. Shapley 1, also known as the Fine Ring Nebula or PLN 329+2.1, bejewels the southern sky constellation of the Carpenter's Square (Norma). The nebula is the result of a star near the mass [...]

AAVP develops technologies for all flight regimes from hover to hypersonic to enable safe, new aircraft that [...]
X-ray: NASA/CXC/John Hopkins Univ./C.M. Lisse et al.; Infrared: NASA/ESA/STIS; Image Processing: NASA/CXC/SAO/N. Wolk For the first time, a young, Sun-like star has been caught red-handed blowing bubbles in the galaxy, by astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. The bubble – called an “astrosphere” – completely surrounds the juvenile star in this image released on Feb. [...]

The antennas of the mission’s key instrument — the Ka-band Radar Interferometer (KaRIn) — collect data along a swath 30 miles (50 kilometers) wide on either side of [...]
La Luna se eleva detrás del cohete Sistema de Lanzamiento Espacial y la nave espacial Orion de la misión Artemis II de la NASA, situados sobre una plataforma móvil de lanzamiento en el Complejo de Lanzamiento 39B del Centro Espacial Kennedy de la NASA en Florida, el domingo 1 de febrero de 2026. El vuelo de prueba [...]
The Moon rises behind NASA’s Artemis II SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft atop a mobile launcher at Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026. The Artemis II test flight will take Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialist Christina Koch from NASA, [...]
NASA The food flying aboard Artemis II is designed to support crew health and performance during the mission around the Moon. With no resupply, refrigeration, or late-load capability, all meals must be carefully selected to remain safe, shelf-stable, and easy to prepare and consume in NASA’s Orion spacecraft. Food selections are developed in coordination with [...]
