SOFIA Will Become A Flying Classroom During The Next Few Months
NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, or SOFIA, will become a flying classroom for teachers during research flights in the next few months. Twelve two-person teams have been selected for SOFIA's Airborne Astronomy Ambassadors program, representing educators from 10 states.
NovaWurks 'Satlet' Process Seeks To Re-Purpose Components From Non-Working Satellites
DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) has awarded a $30.8 million Phoenix Project contract to NovaWurks covering Phases II and III of the Phoenix Project for the development, delivery and operation of satlet solutions to repurpose valuable components from retired, non-working satellites in supersync orbit approximately 22,000 miles above the earth.
Natural Telescope Forms Under Certain Cosmic Conditions
An international team of astronomers, using NASA's Fermi observatory, has made the first-ever gamma-ray measurements of a gravitational lens, a kind of natural telescope formed when a rare cosmic alignment allows the gravity of a massive object to bend and amplify light from a more distant source.
Observations May Help Test Einstein's Theory Of General Relativity
Recent observations by NASA's Swift spacecraft have provided scientists a unique glimpse into the activity at the center of our galaxy and led to the discovery of a rare celestial entity that may help them test predictions of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity.
