Wednesday, February 27, 2013. Sector 33 Game App Goes Android. Feel like exercising your math skills to virtually manage the nation's crowded airways? Yup, there's an app for that – and has been for about a year now. But until now, the popular NASA-developed game app called Sector 33, which gives you a sense of what it's like to be an air traffic controller, was only available for mobile device owners who use the Apple-based iOS operating system. The player can adjust the planes' path and speed to quickl...

Wednesday, April 24, 2013. Herschel Links Water Around Jupiter to Comet Impact. Astronomers have finally found direct proof that almost all water present in Jupiter's stratosphere, an intermediate atmospheric layer, was delivered by comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, which famously struck the planet in 1994. While the source of water in the lower layers of their atmospheres can be explained as internal, the presence of this molecule in their upper atmospheric layers is puzzling due to the scarcity of oxygen there&#...

NASA Updates: NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover Approaches 'Cooperstown'
http://ndlnews.blogspot.com/2013/10/nasas-curiosity-mars-rover-approaches.html
Wednesday, October 30, 2013. NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover Approaches 'Cooperstown'. NASA's Mars rover Curiosity completed its first two-day autonomous drive Monday, bringing the mobile laboratory to a good vantage point for pictures useful in selecting the next target the rover will reach out and touch. Starting to use two-day autonomous driving and the shorter duration planned for examining Cooperstown serve to accelerate Curiosity's progress toward the mission's main destination: Mount Sharp. The first ...

Wednesday, January 29, 2014. New Laser Technology Reveals How Ice Measures Up. Ew results from NASA's MABEL campaign demonstrated that a photon-counting technique will allow researchers to track the melt or growth of Earth’s frozen regions. When a high-altitude aircraft flew over the icy Arctic Ocean and the snow-covered terrain of Greenland in April 2012, it was the first polar test of a new laser-based technology to measure the height of Earth from space. MABEL's 2012 Greenland campaign was designed to...

NASA Updates: Spitzer and ALMA Reveal a Star's Bubbly Birth
http://ndlnews.blogspot.com/2013/11/spitzer-and-alma-reveal-stars-bubbly.html
Wednesday, November 13, 2013. Spitzer and ALMA Reveal a Star's Bubbly Birth. It's a bouncing baby . . . star! Combined observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and the newly completed Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile have revealed the throes of stellar birth as never before in the well-studied object known as HH 46/47. Meanwhile, the fresh views of HH 46/47 by ALMA have revealed that the gas in the lobes is expanding faster than previously thought. This faster expa...

Thursday, March 28, 2013. Hunting Massive Stars with Herschel. In this new view of a vast star-forming cloud called W3, the Herschel space observatory tells the story of how massive stars are born. Herschel is a European Space Agency mission with important NASA contributions. W3 is a giant gas cloud containing an enormous stellar nursery, some 6,200 light-years away in the Perseus Arm, one of our Milky Way galaxy's main spiral arms. Through their strong radiation and powerful winds, populations of young,...

Thursday, June 27, 2013. NASA's Voyager 1 Explores Final Frontier of Our 'Solar Bubble'. PASADENA, Calif. - Data from Voyager 1, now more than 11 billion miles (18 billion kilometers) from the sun, suggest the spacecraft is closer to becoming the first human-made object to reach interstellar space. The Science papers focus on observations made from May to September 2012 by Voyager 1's cosmic ray, low-energy charged particle and magnetometer instruments, with some additional charged particle data obtained...

NASA Updates: NASA's Chandra Sees Runaway Pulsar Firing an Extraordinary Jet
http://ndlnews.blogspot.com/2014/02/nasas-chandra-sees-runaway-pulsar.html
Tuesday, February 18, 2014. NASA's Chandra Sees Runaway Pulsar Firing an Extraordinary Jet. NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has seen a fast-moving pulsar escaping from a supernova remnant while spewing out a record-breaking jet – the longest of any object in the Milky Way galaxy - of high-energy particles. We've never seen an object that moves this fast and also produces a jet," said Lucia Pavan of the University of Geneva in Switzerland and lead author of a paper published Tuesday,in the journal Astron...

Wednesday, November 27, 2013. Pine Island Iceberg Breaking Loose. Between November 9–11, 2013, a large iceberg separated from the calving front of Antarctica’s Pine Island Glacier. Scientists first detected a rift in the glacier in October 2011. By July 2013, infrared and radar images showed that the crack had cut completely across the ice shelf. New satellite images now show that Iceberg B-31 is finally moving away from the coast. Thursday, November 21, 2013. Cyclone Helen in India. Herbig-Haro (HH) obj...
