How volunteers built the first calibrated white-light eclipse dataset from 58,837 images

On April 8, 2024, a total eclipse crossed the United States. Volunteers from NASA’s Eclipse Megamovie citizen science project from all over the country hurried to capture the eclipse using the newest and best equipment.

This NASA technology meant for space now powers everyday life

Previously, the Hubble Space Telescope was one of the major space telescopes used for astronomical observations. However, it had limitations in deep space missions, leading to the invention of the CMOS active pixel sensors. This new technology is now used not only in space missions but also in our everyday gadgets.

Webb gets the first view of Uranus’ upper atmosphere

For the first time in history, scientists have created a 3D map of Uranus’ upper atmosphere. This map revealed how charged particles and temperatures vary with altitude, how Uranus’ strange magnetic field shapes auroras, and how the planet has cooled over decades. This gives us a glimpse into the evolution of exoplanets.

NASA drills 3,675 feet under Antarctic ice for samples in search of life on icy worlds

Two NASA researchers successfully collected samples from 3,675 feet beneath Antarctic waters. They aim to run simulations on the samples to understand the changes that happen to similar water molecules that erupt into space from icy planets. This could be a big step forward in the search for life on those icy worlds.

NASA's new tech finally lets the Perseverance rover track its location in real time

NASA’s Perseverance team recorded the first successful use of a new technology that helps the rover figure out its exact location by itself. Perseverance did this by taking images of its location and matching them with data from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO).
