GRAIL Mission Returns First Video of Moon's Far Side

Maria Zuber: I'm Maria Zuber, Principal Investigator of NASA's GRAIL mission.
GRAIL is the first planetary robotic mission that includes an imaging experiment that's devoted entirely to education and outreach, called the MoonKAM system.
This video clip was made by Ebb as it flew above the surface of the moon that we don't see from Earth, from the north pole towards the south pole.
The far side of the moon is extremely rugged.
The surface also contains many impact craters, which are preserved features from asteroids that hit the moon's surface after it formed.
The MoonKAM investigation will begin in March, when middle school students will have the opportunity to target interesting areas of the moon that they want to study. So stay tuned!



(मारिया Zuber: मैं मारिया Zuber, नासा कंघी बनानेवाले की रेती मिशन के प्रधान अन्वेषक हूँ.
कंघी बनानेवाले की रेती पहले ग्रहों रोबोट मिशन है कि एक इमेजिंग प्रयोग है कि पूरी तरह से शिक्षा और आउटरीच के लिए समर्पित रहा है, कहा जाता है MoonKAM प्रणाली शामिल है.
यह वीडियो क्लिप भाटा द्वारा बनाया गया था के रूप में यह चांद की सतह के ऊपर उड़ान भरी है कि हम पृथ्वी से उत्तर ध्रुव से दक्षिण ध्रुव की ओर नहीं देखते हैं,.
चाँद की ओर तक बहुत बीहड़ है.
सतह भी कई प्रभाव craters जो क्षुद्रग्रहों है कि चंद्रमा की सतह हिट होने के बाद यह बनाई सुविधाओं से संरक्षित कर रहे हैं शामिल हैं.
MoonKAM जांच मार्च में शुरू, जब मध्य विद्यालय के छात्रों के लिए चाँद की दिलचस्प क्षेत्रों में है कि वे अध्ययन करने के लिए करना चाहते हैं लक्ष्य का अवसर होगा. तो रहने tuned!)

NASA Readies New Type of Earth-Observing Satellite for Launch

Image
NASA is planning an Oct. 27 launch of the first Earth-observing satellite to measure both global climate changes and key weather variables. The National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System Preparatory Project (NPP) is the first mission designed to collect critical data to improve weather forecasts in the short-term and increase our understanding of long-term climate change. NPP continues observations of Earth from space that NASA has pioneered for more than 40 years. NPP's five science instruments, including four new state-of-the-art sensors, will provide scientists with data to extend more than 30 key long-term datasets. These records, which range from the ozone layer and land cover to atmospheric temperatures and ice cover, are critical for global change science. "NPP's observations of a wide range of interconnected Earth properties and processes will give us the big picture of how our planet changes," said Jim

Cosmic crashes forge gold

Various stages of the merger of two neutron stars are shown in this simulation sequence; the images cover a period of about one-hundredth of a second. Once the stars collide, material is squeezed out between the stars and gets stripped off from tidal tails. In the material ejected, a multitude of nuclear reactions takes place, producing heavy elements. Photo by S. Goriely, A. Bauswein, and H.-T. Janka (MPA) The cosmic site where the heaviest chemical elements such as lead or gold are formed has likely been identified: Ejected matter from neutron stars merging in a violent collision provides ideal conditions. In detailed numerical simulations, scientists of the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics (MPA) in Garching, Germany, and affiliated to the Excellence Cluster Universe and of the Free University of Brussels (ULB) in Belgium have verified that the relevant reactions of atomic nuclei do take place in this environment, producing the heaviest elemen
