Posted on June 4, 2021June 4, 2021 NEW MOSAIC SHOWS THE GALACTIC CORE FROM OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM The core of the Milky Way Galaxy (aka. Galactic Center), the region around which the rest of the galaxy revolves, is a strange and mysterious place. It is here that the Supermassive Black Hole (SMBH) that powers the compact radio source known as Sagittarius A*is located. It is
also the most compact region in the galaxy, with an estimated 10 million stars within 3.26 light-years of the Galactic Center. Using data from Chandra X-ray Observatory and the MeerKAT radio telescope , NASA and the National Research Foundation (NSF) of South Africa created a mosaic of the center of the Milky Way.
Combining images taken in the x-ray and radio wavelengths, the resulting panoramic image manages to capture the filaments of super-heated gas and magnetic fields that (when visualized) shows the complex web of energy at the center of our galaxy. Continue reading “New Mosaic Shows the Galactic Core From Opposite Sides of the Electromagnetic Spectrum” Posted on June 4, 2021June 4, 2021 ANOTHER DELAY FOR WEBB, BUT THIS TIME IT’S BECAUSE OF THE ROCKET,NOT THE TELESCOPE
Officials from NASA and ESA this acknowledged the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope will very likely be delayed from the end of October to at least mid-November, 2021. As we reported last month, the usually reliable Ariane 5 has experienced problems on two previous launches where unexpected vehicle accelerations occurred when the fairing separated from the rocket. The fairing is the nose cone used to protect a spacecraft payload during launch and acceleration through Earth’s atmosphere. “Indeed, there was an anomaly which has been mentioned recently in the media,” said Daniel de Chambure, acting head of Ariane 5 adaptations, during a media briefing on JWST . “The origin of the problem has been found; corrective actions have been taken.” Continue reading “Another Delay for Webb, But This Time it’s Because of the Rocket, Not the Telescope” Posted on June 4, 2021June 4, 2021 WHAT COMES AFTER PHOTOGRAPHING A BLACK HOLE'S EVENT HORIZON? COULD WE SEE THE PHOTON RING? In 2019 the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) gave us the first direct image of a black hole. On one hand, the image it produced was rather unimpressive. Just a circular blur of light surrounding a dark central region. On the other hand, subtle characteristics of the image hold tremendous information about the size and rotation of the black hole. Most of the details of the black hole image are blurred by the limits of the EHT. But the next generation EHT should provide a sharper view, and could reveal the dark edge of a black hole’s event horizon.

,
it brought with it an interesting little companion that’s been causing quite a stir of late! We are talking, of course, about the _Ingenuity Mars Helicopter_,
an experimental flight system designed to demonstrate if aerial systems can work on Mars. Since its inaugural flight on April 19th,
the helicopter has been pushing the boundaries of flight on Mars, going farther and faster each time. In fact, the helicopter managed to establish multiple records in the course of its first five flights, reaching a maximum distance of 266 m (873 ft) in 117 seconds.
Unfortunately, things did not go so well for _Ingenuity _during its sixth and latest flight. Due to a navigation timing error, the helicopter strayed from its flight path, but managed to land safely just a few meters from where it was supposed to.

NASA’s planetary science program is making a big bet on Venus,
after decades of putting its chips on Mars in the search for hints of past or present life out there in the solar system. The bet comes in the form of a double dose of development funding for Discovery Program missions, amounting to as much as $1 billion. Both DAVINCI+ and VERITAS were selected from a field of four finalists in a competitive process — leaving behind missions aimed at studyingJupiter’s moon Io
and Neptune’s moon Triton.
“These two sister missions are both aimed to understand how Venus became an inferno-like world capable of melting lead at the surface,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said June 2 in his first “State of NASA” address. “They will offer the entire science community the chance to investigate a planet we haven’t been to in more than 30 years.” Lessons from Venus, which underwent a runaway greenhouse effect early in its existence, could improve scientists’ understanding of our own planet’s changing climate. The missions could also address one of the biggest questions about the second rock from the Sun: whether life could exist in the upper reaches of its cloud layer. Continue reading “NASA Orders Up a Double Shot of Venus Missions Amid Questions About Life” Posted on June 2, 2021June 2, 2021 LUNAR ROVERS! TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT! A number of missions are destined for the Moon before this decade is over. In addition to the Artemis Program, the European Space Agency (ESA), the China National Space Agency (CNSA), Roscosmos, and other space agencies have some ambitious plans of their own. These include sending robotic missions to characterize the local environment, scout out resources, and pave the way for permanent human outposts. The Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) also some very interesting lunar missions in mind. In addition to partnering with NASA on the Artemis Program and helping to create the Lunar Gateway, JAXA has the radical idea to send a transforming rover to the Moon. The data this rover collects will be used to inform the design of a pressurized rover that will allow for a sustained human presence onthe Moon.

The International Space Station (ISS) is not only the largest and most sophisticated orbiting research facility ever built, it is arguably the most important research facility we have. With its cutting-edge facilities and microgravity environment, the ISS is able to conduct lucrative experiments that are leading to advances in astrobiology, astronomy, medicine, biology, space weather and meteorology, and materials science. Unfortunately, the cost of transporting experiments to and from the ISS is rather expensive and something only a handful of space agencies are currently able to do. To address this, the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and Tiger Corporation partnered in 2018 to create a new type of container that would cut the cost of returning samples to Earth. With the success of their initial design, JAXA and Tiger are looking to create a reusable version that will allow for regular sample returns from the ISS.
