NASA has successfully tested the most complex rocket engine parts ever designed by the agency and printed with additive manufacturing, or 3-D printing, on a test stand at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. […]
NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope has spotted an eruption of dust around a young star, possibly the result of a smashup between large asteroids. […]
A bright, long duration flare may be the first recorded event of a black hole destroying a star in a dwarf galaxy and the evidence comes from two independent studies using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes. […]
On Aug. 24, 2014, the sun emitted a mid-level solar flare, peaking at 8:16 a.m. EDT. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured images of the flare, which erupted on the left side of the sun. […]
The heat shield on NASA’s Orion spacecraft gets all the glory when it comes to protecting the spacecraft from the intense temperature of reentry. […]
Meteorologist John T. Madura, who led development of the lighting launch commit criteria used by NASA and the U.S. Air Force, died Aug. 14, 2014 at the age of 71. […]
On the evening of Aug. 20, 2014, the International Space Station was flying past North America when it flew over the dazzling, green blue lights of an aurora. […]
