NASA's next crewed space station will be near the moon.
This gallery details some of the main history and components of Gateway, as well as what it may be used for in the future. For now, NASA plans to bring astronauts to Gateway sometime in the 2020s, possibly in support of the Artemis moon-landing program.
High-dispersion spectroscopy of AE Aqr II: evidence of material orbiting the primary star |
S H RamÃrez, J EchevarrÃa, High-dispersion spectroscopy of AE Aqr II: evidence of material orbiting the primary star, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society , 2021;, stab2542, https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab2542
We present a second paper of the analyses of high-dispersion spectroscopic observations of the magnetic cataclysmic variable AE Aquarii. We focus our efforts on the study of the emission lines and their radial velocities.
Skywatch: Multiple star systems can orbit in multiple ways | Outdoors | magicvalley.com
The idea that stars which appear close together in a telescope might be orbiting one another (as opposed to a chance alignment of stars at different distances) was first suggested by John Michell in 1767.
Trinary (three-star) systems include: 1) Two small, co-orbiting stars in orbit around a larger star. Algedi, uppermost of the two stars above Saturn in the south at 10 p.m. is an example; 2) a small star orbiting two larger, co-orbiting stars (e.g.
NASA picks SpaceX's Falcon Heavy to launch GOES-U weather satellite | Space
NASA has picked Falcon Heavy to launch the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-U (GOES-U), with a planned liftoff in April 2024 from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, agency officials announced on Friday (Sept. 10).
"GOES-U will provide advanced imagery and atmospheric measurements of Earth's weather, oceans and environment, as well as real-time mapping of total lightning activity and improved monitoring of solar activity and space weather." NASA officials said in a statement Friday .
SpaceX's Inspiration4 all-civilian spaceflight: When to watch and what to know | Space
SpaceX 's first all-civilian launch is scheduled to launch on Wednesday (Sept. 15) carrying a message of diversity during the third billionaire-led flight to launch in 2021.
The mission, called Inspiration4 , includes four private citizens who will fly on a Crew Dragon spacecraft for an Earth-orbiting mission.
Smoke sets off alarms on the International Space Station | Space
Alarms blared aboard the Russian side of the International Space Station (ISS) early Thursday (Sept. 9), and the crew reported seeing smoke and smelling burnt plastic, according to news reports.
The incident occurred in Russia's Zvezda module as the station's batteries were recharging, Russia's space agency, Roscosmos, reported, according to the BBC . The systems are now back to normal, and the crew has returned to "regular training," Roscosmos said.
Meet Nancy Grace Roman, the "mother" of the Hubble Space Telescope
She discovered fundamental truths about stars and galaxies, and also shaped NASA into what we know it as today
Today we take for granted that part of NASA' s job is to do astronomy, like with the legendary Hubble Space Telescope and the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope . But that wasn't always the case — and we have astronomer Nancy Grace Roman to thank for shaping the space agency that it is today.
Weird Asteroid Shaped Like a Bone Whipping Around Our Sun | Digital Trends
Astronomers have gotten their closest look yet at an unusually shaped asteroid orbiting the sun in the asteroid belt located between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars.
"Kleopatra is truly a unique body in our Solar System," said the lead author of a new study on the asteroid, Franck Marchis, an astronomer at the SETI Institute. "Science makes a lot of progress thanks to the study of weird outliers.
