![]() Mars Rovers Advance Understanding of the Red Planet NASA's Stardust spacecraft was placed into hibernation mode yesterday. ![]() ![]() The Black Hole Road Show Kicks Off in Denver NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has identified two huge "hypergiant" stars circled by monstrous disks of what might be planet-forming dust. Spitzer Uncovers Hints of Mega Solar Systems NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has observed a rare population of colliding galaxies whose entangled hearts are wrapped in tiny crystals resembling crushed glass. Scientists have determined the Milky Way's background emanates from untold hundreds of millions of individual sources dominated by a type of dead star called a white dwarf. New Map of Milky Way Reveals Millions of Unseen Objects NASA's Next Leap in Mars Exploration Nears ArrivalĪs it nears Mars on March 10, a NASA spacecraft designed to examine the red planet in unprecedented detail from low orbit will point its main thrusters forward, then fire them to slow itself enough for Mars' gravity to grab it into orbit. The spacecraft team that has been working furiously during the orbiter’s cruise is now preparing for a big moment at Mars: the mission-critical Mars orbit insertion. Spirit Discovers "New" Highest Peak in "Columbia Hills"Īfter reaching the top of "Husband Hill," NASA's Mars rover finds that sizing up the terrain depends on the point of view. NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has begun its final approach to the red planet after activating a sequence of commands designed to get the spacecraft successfully into orbit. NASA's Cassini spacecraft may have found evidence of liquid water reservoirs that erupt in Yellowstone-like geysers on Saturn's moon Enceladus.įast-Talking NASA Spacecraft Starts Final Approach to Mars NASA's Cassini Discovers Potential Liquid Water on Enceladus With a crucially timed firing of its main engines today, NASA's new mission to Mars successfully put itself into orbit around the red planet. Robotic NASA Craft Begins Orbiting Mars for Most-Detailed Exam You don't get much closer to the big bang than this. Where there's smoke, there's fire - even in outer space. Galaxy on Fire! Spitzer Reveals Stellar Smoke NASA's long-lived Mars rovers demand lots of care as they age and the Martian winter approaches. Mars Rovers Get New Manager During Challenging Period Robotic baby boomers set expectations for next-generation explorers. The first test images of Mars from NASA's newest spacecraft provide a tantalizing preview of what the orbiter will reveal when its main science mission begins next fall. NASA's New Mars Orbiter Returns Test Images One giant leap for mankind." That famous communique from Apollo 11 during the historic first-ever moon walk was brought to you by the 64-meter antenna at NASA's Deep Space Network in Goldstone, Calif. There may be as many as 10 million of these objects within one of Saturn's rings alone. Scientists with NASA's Cassini mission have found evidence that a new class of small moonlets resides within Saturn's rings. ![]() NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter yesterday began a crucial six-month campaign to gradually shrink its orbit into the best geometry for the mission's science work.Ĭassini Finds 'Missing Link' Moonlet Evidence in Saturn's Rings NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Craft Begins Adjusting Orbit More than two years after landing on Mars, Spirit can only drive on five wheels.
