The Juno spacecraft is a space probe orbiting Jupiter and it’s been sending back some amazing pictures of the gas giant.  Launched on August 5, 2011, Juno only arrived at Jupiter as of 2016 and its been in orbit ever since.  It dives between the planet and its intense belts of charged particle radiation, coming about 3000  miles from the cloud tops at its closest approach. One of the latest images Juno has sent back is of the planet’s northern region.  The image below was tak

Fifty years ago, Neil Armstrong became the first man to ever walk on the moon.  Since that date, July 20, 1969, the moon has become the subject of much debate and scientific analysis.  From what Neil Armstrong first said as he took those initial steps to conspiracy theories about hoaxes, few historical events have captured the interest in mankind quite like the Apollo 11 moon landing.  However, a few facts about this event have remained obscure through time. Why was Neil Arms

Astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, and Michael Collins left Earth on July 16th from Cape Kennedy in Florida.  It was days later that Armstrong and Aldrin stepped foot onto the moon.  One of the most amazing things about this journey was that, by today’s standards, the NASA computing system was as basic as a pocket calculator.  Yet, the ingenious computer systems were able to help guide the astronauts over 221,000 miles of space and return them home safely.

It was called the Space Race, a competition between two world powers, the Soviet Union and the United States, on who would achieve significant advances in spaceflight capability.  By the early 1960s, the Soviets were winning by achieving the first successful launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957, and the first man in space with Yuri Gagarin in 1961.  Of course, it would only be a matter of time until the U.S. peaked and won this rivalry by putting humans on the surface of the moon in 1

This November 13, a spectacular conjunction of Venus and Jupiter will be visible in the evening sky. The two bright planets will be extremely close, appearing only 0.3 degrees apart. Look for this impressive pairing in the Eastern sky just before sunrise. #SolarSystem #NASA #NightSky #AtmosphericSciences #Earth #astronomy #Space #conjunctionofvenusandjupiter
