Look up to sky tonight and you may notice that the Red Planet isn't so red right now. A global dust storm has obscured views of Mars' surface since late May and has even caused the planet to appear yellow-orange in the night sky, instead of its usual rusty-red color. Take a look - what color do you see?

Kepler is finally retiring after nine long years of searching for exoplanets. Let’s look back on its history and celebrate the little spacecraft that could.

The pressure in the fuel tank has dropped to a point that indicates there’s little fuel left.” NASA put its famous planet-hunting telescope to sleep because it’s almost out of fuel https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/6/17541886/nasa-kepler-fuel-safe-mode-life “NASA says it plans to turn Kepler back on in early August, when it will order the spacecraft to point its antenna at Earth to download the data from its most recent survey of the sky. It’s not clear if there’s enough fuel to do that transfer.” ____________________ Elements is more than just a science show.

The U.S. is drawing attention to "very abnormal" behavior by a Russian satellite, right as the White House pushes for a U.S. Space Force.

China's space agency's upcoming Chang'e-4 mission aims to launch two robots to the far side of the moon. The new mission is the fourth in China's ongoing lunar exploration program. China hopes to one day lead to a crewed lunar landing. Chinese officials said Wednesday that Chang'e-4 will rocket toward the moon in December. The landing site for Chang'e-4 is slated to be the moon's Von Kármán crater near the south pole. https://www.businessinsider.com/china-moon-robot-launch-date-change-4-2018-8 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

Last year, scientists discovered the hottest known planet belonging to the ‘Ultra Hot Jupiter’ category, and more recently detected often-elusive iron and titanium vapors in its atmosphere.

Be sure to watch to the end for a Parker Solar Probe Dedication! aurora shows, especially at high latitudes. Two coronal holes are rotating through the Earth-strike zone, which means Earth will be preconditioned for activity! The news for amateur radio operators is not so great, as the last remaining bright region on the Earth-facing Sun rotates to the Sun's backside out of view. Solar flux has dropped and we are back at poor levels for radio propagation on Earth's dayside. Unfortunately, these conditions could easily continue over the next week or more. Learn the details of the coming solar storm, see why GPS users are smiling, and why "CW" for amateur radio operators may be the mode of choice.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe is beginning its mission to the Sun after a successful launch Aug. 12 aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket. The mission was first proposed in 1958 by heliophysics pioneer Dr. Eugene Parker, who viewed the launch from Kennedy and anticipates new discoveries from his namesake spacecraft.

This video depicts OpGrav in an asteroid flyby and rendezvous context. The host spacecraft releases a set of small deployable probes prior to an asteroid flyby. It images the probes against the star-background. The images are processed and turned into a time-series of right-ascension and declination measurements. The progression of these measurements is then used to fit out the asteroid’s mass. Similarly, probes are deployed and tracked around an asteroid in a rendezvous scenario. Here the host spacecraft is orbiting the asteroid. The measurements are now used to determine higher order terms in the asteroid’s gravity field.

Science fiction edges closer to science than ever with a new movie being advertised about an exoplanet hunter who finds something extraordinary in his data! Let's face it, we're probably never going to have an excuse as good as this to do a trailer reaction video (!), so today Prof Kipping gives his take on the new trailer explaining what looks scientifically legit versus questionable. let us know what you think of the new trailer below. ► "CLARA" Official Trailer #1: https://youtu.be/7eIbm4cfA8M ► Gaidos (2017), "Transit Detection of a "Starshade" at the Inner Lagrange Point of an Exoplanet": https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.01285 ► Moores & Welch (2018), "Simulating Transits of Large Objects at the L1 Lagrange Point for the 2018 Feature Film Clara": http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2018RNAAS...2b..34M ► James Davenport Vlog: https://www.youtube.com/user/yoursymphonyinc ► Columbia University Department of Astronomy: http://www.astro.columbia.edu ► Cool Worlds Lab website: http://coolworlds.astro.columbia.edu ::Playlists For Channel:: Latest Cool Worlds Videos ► http://bit.ly/NewCoolWorlds Cool Worlds Research ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsResearch Guest Videos ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsGuests Q&A Videos ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsQA Tabby's Star ► http://bit.ly/TabbysStar Science of TV/Film ► http://bit.ly/ScienceMovies ::Follow us:: SUBSCRIBE to the channel http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsSubscribe Cool Worlds Lab http://coolworlds.astro.columbia.edu Twitter https://twitter.com/david_kipping Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cool.worlds THANKS FOR WATCHING!!
