In the past 60 years, NASA has advanced our understanding of our solar system and beyond. We continually ask “What’s out there?” as we advance humankind and send spacecraft to explore. Congress passed the National Aeronautics and Space Act, on July 16 and President Eisenhower signed it into law on July 29, 1958. NASA opened for business on Oct. 1, 1958. Our history tells a story of exploration, innovation and discoveries. The next 60 years, that story continues. Learn more: https://www.nasa.gov/60

According to Business Insider, the best meteor shower of the year is going to take place this weekend. Perseids meteor showers are identified by explosions of light and color as well as their long, streaking tails. These meteor showers typically that last longer than other meteor showers. This year, the viewing of the meteors will be particularly spectacular, since there's a new moon on August 11th. This means that there will be almost no moonlight to interfere with the show. The best time to watch the Perseids shower will be on the night of August 12th and the early morning of August 13th. https://www.businessinsider.com/perseids-meteor-shower-2018-8 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

According to a report by Gizmodo, NASA's New Horizons mission, now at a distance nearly four billion miles from Earth and already well beyond Pluto, appears to be reaching a "wall." Study author Randy Gladstone from the Southwest Research Institute told Gizmodo, "We assume there’s something extra out there, some extra source of brightness. If we get a chance with New Horizons we can maybe image it.” New Horizons has reportedly encountered a boundary where interstellar hydrogen piles up at the outer edge of the pressure caused by solar winds. https://gizmodo.com/new-horizons-spacecraft-sees-hydrogen-wall-at-the-end-o-1828258683 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

The Parker Solar Probe will be the first-ever mission to "touch" the Sun, traveling directly into the Sun's atmosphere about 4 million miles from the surface. Read the story: https://go.nasa.gov/2KEExYZ NASA launch schedule: https://go.nasa.gov/2JfklMB The Sun contains 99.8 of the mass in our solar system. Its gravitational pull is what keeps everything here, from tiny Mercury to the gas giants to the Oort Cloud, 186 billion miles away. But even though the Sun has such a powerful pull, it's surprisingly hard to actually go to the Sun: It takes 55 times more energy to go to the Sun than it does to go to Mars. Why is it so difficult? The answer lies in the same fact that keeps Earth from plunging into the Sun: Our planet is traveling very fast - about 67,000 miles per hour - almost entirely sideways relative to the Sun. The only way to get to the Sun is to cancel that sideways motion. Since Parker Solar Probe will skim through the Sun's atmosphere, it only needs to drop 53,000 miles per hour of sideways motion to reach its destination, but that's no easy feat. In addition to using a powerful rocket, the Delta IV Heavy, Parker Solar Probe will perform seven Venus gravity assists over its seven-year mission to shed sideways speed into Venus' well of orbital energy. These gravity assists will draw Parker Solar Probe's orbit closer to the Sun for a record approach of just 3.83 million miles from the Sun's visible surface on the final orbits. Though it's shedding sideways speed to get closer to the Sun, Parker Solar Probe will pick up overall speed, bolstered by Sun's extreme gravity - so it will also break the record for the fastest-ever human-made objects, clocking in at 430,000 miles per hour on its final orbits.

In this video, we look at the Solar Parker Probe in detail. First by understanding who Dr. Parker was, and what he theorized about Solar Winds. Then we go into how the probe will make it to the Sun, using multiple gravity assists of Venus. After that, we discuss the Corona of the Sun, and how the probe will be able to survive the high-temperature environment with it’s innovative and autonomous design. Then we look at the different instrument onboard, and what they will be able to tell us about solar winds.

A long standing question that we seem to ask ourselves is, where do we come from? And while there are many responses to that question, it appears that science is one step closer to figuring it out. According to Geek.com, a new study lead by the University of Manchester points to ancient meteorites as a source for possible clues to understanding the genesis of life on Earth. The study confirms that organic matter found in a 4.5 billion year old chondritic asteroid made during the infant stage of our Solar System, formed from basic chemical reactions. The study’s findings suggest that if organic material can develop from basic chemical processes in galaxy, why shouldn’t that be true in other planetary systems. https://www.geek.com/news/ancient-meteorites-shed-light-on-early-solar-system-1748457/?source http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit Tech using http://wochit.com

According to a report by Geek.com, the Rochester Institute of Technology found evidence of massive black holes hiding at the often overlooked outer edges of spiral galaxies. Using data from the Lick Observatory Supernova Search the team discovered a comparable number of black holes in the outskirts of spiral galaxies as in dwarf/satellite galaxies. Study author Sukanya Chakrabarti said, "If these core-collapse supernovae are the predecessors to the binary black holes detected by LIGO, then what we’ve found is a reliable method of identifying the host galaxies of LIGO sources." She went on to explain, “Because these black holes have an electromagnetic counterpart at an earlier stage in their life. we can pinpoint their location in the sky and watch for massive black holes.” https://www.geek.com/news/scientists-uncover-new-hangout-for-black-holes-1747509/?source http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

On Friday 27 July the longest lunar eclipse of the century (so far) will take place. Also known as a blood moon, this occurs when the sun, Earth and moon align perfectly, putting the moon in the Earth's shadow. The moon will be totally eclipsed by the Earth for one hour and 43 minutes.

Business Insider reports that Mars will look brighter in the night sky over the next six weeks than it has appeared in 15 years. That's because the red planet will be at its closest point to Earth since 2003 throughout June and July. This as our planet passes between Mars and the sun. According to The Weather Channel, on July 31 Mars will be at its brightest. The planet will be 35.8 million miles away from Earth. Mars will be easily visible to the naked eye throughout July. It will outshine all but the brightest stars as it gets to its closest point. The reason for this is a phenomenon called perihelic opposition. In simple terms, opposition is when Earth passes directly between Mars and the sun. https://www.businessinsider.com/mars-to-be-the-brightest-it-has-been-in-15-years-2018-6 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

The Moon doesn’t appear to have what it takes to support life now, but researchers suggest that wasn’t always the case.

According to a new study published Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy, two billion years ago, our Milky Way galaxy's sibling, known as M32p, was violently cannibalized by our closest and largest galactic neighbor, Andromeda. CNN reports that the large neighboring galaxy is expected to have consumed hundreds of surrounding smaller galaxies. Before being consumed, the M32p galaxy was reportedly the third largest galaxy behind Andromeda and the Milky Way and was at least 20 times larger than any galaxy that ever merged with the Milky Way. Both evidence and computer simulations allowed researchers to reconstruct the events leading up to galaxy M32p's demise approximately 2 billion years ago. https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/23/world/milky-way-galaxy-sibling-m32/index.html http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
