If you can brave the cold long enough to find a clear patch of night sky, you can watch two bright astronomical phenomena this December: the 46P/Wirtanen “Christmas comet” and the Geminid meteor shower. For the best chance, find a place away from light pollution, and look for a diffuse, dim area of light a little below the Pleiades. (The Pleiades are the stars that form a tiny cluster near Taurus, not far from the constellation Orion. It will be closest to earth—less than 8 million miles away—on December 16. https://lifehacker.com/how-to-see-this-years-christmas-comet-and-geminid-meteo-1830991857 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

Forty-one years after it launched into space, NASA’s Voyager 2 probe has exited our solar bubble and entered the region between stars. Its twin, Voyager 1, made this historic crossing in 2012. Edward Stone, the Voyager mission’s project scientist, and Suzanne Dodd, the mission project manager, discuss this major milestone and what’s to come for the trailblazing probe. For more about the Voyagers, including the Grand Tour of the Solar System and the Golden Record, visit https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov

Engineers and designers working on the Parker Solar Probe tackled challenges such as size, weight, and extreme heat. Their design combined unique materials and underwent rigorous testing to transform the Probe into a record-breaking spacecraft. This Is Not a Real Explosion, Here’s How Physics Made It Happen - https://youtu.be/OsUCD4wno6g Read More Why Won't Parker Solar Probe Melt? https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2018/traveling-to-the-sun-why-won-t-parker-solar-probe-melt "In space, the temperature can be thousands of degrees without providing significant heat to a given object or feeling hot. Why? Temperature measures how fast particles are moving, whereas heat measures the total amount of energy that they transfer. Particles may be moving fast (high temperature), but if there are very few of them, they won’t transfer much energy (low heat). Since space is mostly empty, there are very few particles that can transfer energy to the spacecraft." Who is Eugene Parker? https://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/eugene-newman-parker "More than half a century later, the Parker Solar Probe mission will finally be able to provide key observations on Parker’s groundbreaking theories and ideas, which have informed a generation of scientists about solar physics and the magnetic fields around stars. Much of his pioneering work, which has been proven by subsequent spacecraft, defined a great deal of what we know about the how the sun–Earth system interacts." NASA Is Going to The Sun, Here’s Why That’s So Crazy https://www.seeker.com/videos/space/nasa-is-going-to-the-sun-heres-why-thats-so-crazy "From Earth, we can only ever see the corona during a total solar eclipse, which is why it is incredibly difficult to study. Because the density is so low, the corona’s brightness is overpowered by energy coming from the solar surface. As the last layer of the sun’s atmosphere, the corona extends millions of miles into space. Here, temperatures can rise to over one million degrees Celsius which is about 300 times hotter than the photosphere, the lowest layer of the sun’s atmosphere." ____________________ Science In The Extremes ventures to the ends of the earth to bring you pioneering research and innovations that are advancing our civilization and broadening our understanding of the universe.

HuffPost reports that NASA’s new Mars lander has captured the first sounds of the “really unworldly” Martian wind. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena released audio clips of the alien wind Friday. The low-frequency rumblings were collected by the InSight lander. The lander collected the sounds during its first week of operations at Mars. The wind is estimated to be blowing 10 mph to 15 mph. according to the researchers, these are the first sounds from Mars that are detectable by human ears. Thomas Pike of Imperial College London said the rumbling is “rather different to anything that we’ve experienced on Earth, and I think it just gives us another way of thinking about how far away we are getting these signals.” https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/new-nasa-lander-captures-1st-sounds-of-martian-wind_us_5c0bb774e4b035a7bf5ba3b2 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

China has launched a lunar probe that is heading toward the far side of the moon. The ambitious plan, a first in moon exploration, would send the probe on a mission to explore the surface facing away from Earth. The far side is believed to have a thicker crust and is pockmarked by relatively more and deeper craters than the near side. If successful, the Chang-e 4 will unlock valuable clues to the mysteries about the moon and the universe.

China successfully launched the Chang'e-4 lunar probe aboard a Long March 3B rocket at 2:23 a.m. BJT on December 8. With a lander and rover, its key mission is to explore the far side of the Moon, a side not visible from the Earth.

After successfully launched the CRS-16 cargo mission to the International Space Station, a SpaceX Falcon 9 first stage suffered a grid fin hydraulic pump stall according to a tweet from the private spaceflight company's CEO Elon Musk. Instead of landing at a designated SpaceX landing Zone in Florida, the rocket landed in the Atlantic Ocean. -- Full launch and landing story: https://www.space.com/42629-spacex-dragon-launch-missed-landing-crs16.html Credit: SpaceX

United Launch Alliance will use a Delta IV Heavy rocket to launch the NROL-71 mission for the National Reconnaissance Office. The launch is scheduled for 12/7 at 8:19 p.m. PDT. This will be 132nd mission for United Launch Alliance and ULA's second Delta IV Heavy launch in less than four months. It is the 382nd Delta launch since 1960, the 38th for a Delta IV rocket since 2002 and the 11th Delta IV Heavy.

Astronomers say they've found a helium exoplanet inflated like a balloon.

Listen for the folks in the crowd saying "Oh No". Was definitely strange to watch the monitors, looked as if a grid fin had caught fire. Our videos will be much clearer once we have a more powerful computer. The water landing was supposed to happen if there is an anomaly on decent. If this was booster from CRS-10, why was top painted black? What was the booster number?

Asteroids are the leftover building blocks of the solar system, remnants from the dawn of planet formation that may have delivered organics and water to early Earth, and which could hold clues to the origins of life. Now, a NASA mission called OSIRIS-REx has arrived at near-Earth asteroid Bennu. It will map and study the tiny world in great detail, eventually returning a piece of Bennu to Earth in 2023. The discoveries of OSIRIS-REx will shed light on our solar system's ancient history, and help pave the way for future exploration of other small bodies. In this short documentary, members of the OSIRIS-REx team capture the excitement of arriving at Bennu and look forward to the discoveries ahead.

Harvard scientists think that the first interstellar object detected in our solar system, called “Oumuamua,” could be an alien spacecraft. The scientists sought to explain a quirk in Oumuamua's behavior, which led them to an unusual conclusion. No one knows what Oumuamua is or where it came from, and it's too late to find out for sure. ------------------------------------------------------ #Aliens #Space #ScienceInsider Tech Insider tells you all you need to know about tech: gadgets, how-to's, gaming, science, digital culture, and more.

On Dec. 1, 2013, China launched its first-ever mission to land a rover on the moon. With the Yutu rover on board, the Chang'e 3 moon lander lifted off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center on a modified Long March 3B rocket. The mission was named after the Chang'e, the goddess of the moon in Chinese mythology. The rover, Yutu, was named after the Jade Rabbit, who was a companion of the moon goddess. Chang'e 3 arrived in lunar orbit five days after the launch and touched down on the lunar surface one week later. It was the first spacecraft to do a soft landing on the moon in 37 years. A few hours later, the small, six-wheeled vehicle emerged from the spacecraft, becoming the first robot to rove on the moon since 1973.

ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst welcomed a new face to the Columbus laboratory, thanks to the successful commissioning of technology demonstration Cimon. Short for Crew Interactive Mobile CompanioN, Cimon is a 3D-printed plastic sphere designed to test human-machine interaction in space. Developed and built by Airbus in Friedrichshafen and Bremen, Germany, on behalf of German Space Agency DLR, Cimon uses artificial intelligence software by IBM Watson. Its scientific aspects are overseen by researchers at Ludwig Maximilians University Clinic in Munich. This video shows Alexander’s first interactions with Cimon on board the International Space Station. After introducing himself, where he comes from and what he can do, Cimon tests his free-flying abilities, helps Alexander with a procedure and even plays Alexander’s favourite song ‘Man Machine’ by Kraftwerk. In fact, Cimon likes the music so much, he does not want to stop. Happy with his initial outing, both Cimon’s developers and Alexander hope to see Cimon back in action again soon. While no further sessions are planned during the Horizons mission at this stage, it could mark the beginning of exciting collaboration between astronauts, robotic assistants and possible future artificial intelligence in space.

Aerospace engineers at NASA Langley are helping the Space Launch System —NASA's next heavy-lift rocket— get off the ground. @NASA_SLS will be the most powerful rocket we’ve ever built. Potential stops? The Moon and Mars.

Scientists using data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have measured all the starlight produced over 90 percent of the universe's history. The analysis, which examines the gamma-ray output of distant galaxies, estimates the formation rate of stars and provides a reference for future missions that will explore the still-murky early days of stellar evolution. One of the main goals of the Fermi mission is to assess the extragalactic background light (EBL), a cosmic fog composed of all the ultraviolet, visible and infrared light stars have created over the universe's history. Because starlight continues to travel across the cosmos long after its sources have burned out, measuring the EBL allows astronomers to study stellar formation and evolution separately from the stars themselves. The collision between a high-energy gamma ray and infrared light transforms the energy into a pair of particles, an electron and its antimatter counterpart, a positron. The same process occurs when medium-energy gamma rays interact with visible light, and low-energy gamma rays interact with ultraviolet light. Enough of these interactions occur over cosmic distances that the farther back scientists look, the more evident their effects become on gamma-ray sources, enabling a deep probe of the universe's stellar content. The scientists examined gamma-ray signals from 739 blazars -- galaxies with monster black holes at their centers -- collected over nine years by Fermi's Large Area Telescope (LAT). The measurement quintuples the number of blazars used in an earlier Fermi EBL analysis published in 2012 and includes new calculations of how the EBL builds over time, revealing the peak of star formation around 10 billion years ago.

After a 24-hour journey from Bremen, Germany with stops in Hamburg and Portsmouth, USA, the European Service Module landed on 6 November 2018 at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The shipment from Bremen to Florida is just the beginning – the first leg of an exciting journey that will boost the spacecraft to lunar orbit and back. The first service module is a key component that will see #Orion around the Moon for Exploration Mission-1. It will make the powerful burns required to enter and exit lunar orbit as well as softer burns to allow for space manoeuvring and course correction. After years of designing, building, and testing in Europe, the powerhouse that will propel NASA’s Orion spacecraft to the Moon will be mated with the rest of the spacecraft to undergo final testing before flight. ESA’s partnership with NASA takes the European effort to the global stage. For the first time, NASA will use a European-built system as a critical element to power an American spacecraft, extending the international cooperation of the International Space Station into deep space.

On 28 Nov 2018 , at approximately 4:05 p.m. South Korea time (GMT+9), the nation’s space agency, Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) successfully test-launched the first stage of its orbital rocket KSLV-II (Korea Satellite Launch Vehicle), also known as Nuri. The launch today, which took place at South Korea’s Naro Space Center, saw the KSLV-II achieve a 143-second burn, passing an 185km apogee before falling into the sea. KSLV-II is a three-stage rocket meant to take a 1,500kg payload to a 600-800 km Low Earth Orbit (LEO), and is South Korea’s second orbital launch vehicle after KSLV-I. KSLV-II is also the first South Korean vehicle to use liquid propulsion technology, with all of its engines being powered by a Liquid Oxygen (LOX)/Kerosene combination. Its final iteration will have a height of 47.2m, a diameter of 3.5m, and a liftoff mass of 200 tonnes, with a recoverable first stage. Today’s test-launch was only of KSLV-II’s first stage, with the other two still currently under development. The primary mission of the launch was to test the vehicle’s 75-ton liquid propulsion engine, which will be used in KSLV-II’s first and second stages – the first stage will be powered by four boosters hosting these engines, while the second stage will use one. The third stage, meanwhile, will be propelled by a 7-ton engine that has not yet been tested. KSLV-II is being developed completely indigenously, with a budget of KRW 1957 trillion (US$1.734 billion) over ten years. KARI aims to make the rocket operational by 2021 and use it to launch South Korea’s lunar probe, which will be the first phase of the Korean Lunar Exploration Program. South Korea’s first orbital rocket, KSLV-I, was first successfully launched in 2013, also from Naro. The vehicle can take about 100kg to LEO, and was developed with Russian assistance. It has not been flown since then. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Video edited by : Space & ISRO News Footage Courtesy : ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ ▶Plz Like Share..

NASA celebrates Mars landing with an epic handshake. CNN's Jeanne Moos reports on the touchdown that inspired lots of touching. #CNN #News

Original air date: November 26, 2018 2 p.m. PT (5 p.m. ET, 2100 UTC) Mars has just received its newest robotic resident. NASA's Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight) lander successfully touched down on the Red Planet after an almost seven-month, 300-million-mile (458-million-kilometer) journey from Earth. This is the post landing news briefing at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Speakers include: Jim Bridenstine - NASA Administrator, NASA Headquarters Michael Watkins - JPL Director, NASA JPL Tom Hoffman - InSight Project Manager, NASA JPL Andy Klesh - MarCO Chief Engineer, NASA JPL Elizabeth Barrett, InSight Instrument Operations Lead, NASA JPL Hosted by: Veronica McGregor

When InSight lands on Mars, it will deploy a self-hammering nail that was tested by Caltech granular materials experts and JPL Engineers.

It takes about eight minutes to hear from probes on Mars. NASA's InSight mission carried special CubeSats that sent immediate updates on its landing.
