NASA's twin satellites Ebb and Flow, which are part of the GRAIL mission (Recovery and Inner Gravity Laboratory, according to its acronym in English) and which during the last year have captured images that have allowed us to know the internal structure of the Moon and its composition, they will conclude their mission today when they crash into a mountain at the north pole of the satellite, near a crater called Goldschmidt.
Scientists from NASA's Cassini mission have captured thermal images from NASA's Mimas and Tethys satellites that are reminiscent of the Pacman or Pacman icon, the classic video game created in the 1980s. The photographs show the hottest areas of both bodies in yellow and have been published in Icarus magazine.
If you don't think the Sun is shining enough on this planet, you can always move to PH1, a newly discovered exoplanet with four stars. It has been discovered by a team of amateur astronomers, in collaboration with experts from Yale University, who explain that it revolves around a binary star system that, in turn, is orbited by a second pair of distant stars, which gives rise to an "extremely rare" planetary configuration.
On September 19, the robot Curiosity, which landed a little over a month ago on the surface of the red planet, encountered a pyramidal stone on its way. NASA technicians thought it was a good time for the rover to make a stop and put all its analytical instruments to the test.
By combining the best images of galaxies taken in recent years by the Hubble telescope, NASA astronomers have created the deepest image of the universe obtained to date. Specifically, it combines 2,000 different photos taken during two million seconds, and contains 5,500 galaxies
On September 12, 1962, half a century ago, John F. Kennedy, President of the United States, delivered a speech at Rice University in which he pointed out that in less than a decade the goal of visiting the Moon would be achieved.
NASA's high-altitude ER-2 science plane has just returned to Earth after making three eight-hour flights dedicated to collecting cosmic dust generated during the Perseid meteor shower. The collected samples will provide information on the origin and history of the solar system.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
