  • How Big is Space? We Asked a NASA Expert

    How Big is Space? We Asked a NASA Expert

    How big is space? It’s one of the most mind-bending questions we can ask because the deeper we look, the more the universe keeps going. We’ve measured billions of light-years in every direction and still haven’t reached the edge.

    A NASA scientists explains what we know — and don’t know — about the size of the cosmos.

  • What is a Black Hole? We Asked a NASA Expert

    What is a Black Hole? We Asked a NASA Expert

    What exactly is a black hole? Well, they’re not holes at all, rather incredibly dense regions in space with gravity so strong, not even light can escape.

    There are stellar-mass black holes, which form when massive stars collapse and explode in a supernova, and supermassive black holes, which are millions to billions of times more massive and sit at the centers of galaxies.

    Scientists know these cosmic powerhouses shape galaxies and influence how the universe evolves. But how do supermassive black holes form? That’s still one of astronomy’s biggest mysteries. A NASA scientist explains what we know (and don’t know) about these cosmic gargantuans.

  • Have We Been to Uranus? We Asked a NASA Expert

    Have We Been to Uranus? We Asked a NASA Expert

    Have We Ever Been to Uranus? In 1986, NASA’s Voyager 2 gave us our first and only close-up look at this ice giant. What it found was a bizarre, tilted world with extreme seasons, swirling methane clouds, narrow dusty rings and icy moons that could even hide oceans beneath their crusts.

    Not only could Uranus hold clues about our own solar system but also the many similar-sized planets found throughout the galaxy.

    A NASA scientist explains why Uranus is worth a second visit. Explore more about Uranus: https://science.nasa.gov/uranus/

  • Is NASA Mining Asteroids? We Asked a NASA Expert

    Is NASA Mining Asteroids? We Asked a NASA Expert

    Is NASA mining asteroids? No, we’re not in the business of mining asteroids but we do love to study them.

    This year, our #PsycheMission launches to a unique metal-rich asteroid to study what appears to be the exposed nickel-iron core of an early planet, one of the building blocks of our solar system. However, the science we gain from missions like this could one day benefit future humans in cosmic mining and resource endeavors.

    And in September, our OSIRIS-REx mission will deliver an asteroid sample back to Earth. Analysis from the sample may help improve future asteroid missions: https://go.nasa.gov/43PoK2y

  • Why is Venus So Hot? – We Asked a NASA Scientist

    Why is Venus So Hot? – We Asked a NASA Scientist

    Why is Venus so hot?

    The planet’s thick CO2-filled atmosphere is great at trapping heat. This creates a runaway greenhouse effect that makes Venus roughly 700°F (389°C) hotter than it would be otherwise. @NASAJPL’s Dr. Amy Hofmann provides all the sizzling details.

  • Is There Life on Mars? We Asked a NASA Scientist

    Is There Life on Mars? We Asked a NASA Scientist

    Is there life on Mars? No, we have never discovered life on the Red Planet, but we have found lots of evidence that suggests Mars could have once supported life in its ancient past. There’s even a chance that Mars could be habitable beneath its surface. NASA astrobiologist Heather Graham explains more.

    Is There Water on Mars? We Asked a NASA Scientist

    Is there water on Mars? There sure is! It’s not exactly like water on Earth, but Martian H20 can tell us a lot about the planet’s distant past while potentially aiding explorers in the future. Some of the water is even trapped inside rocks! Hear from Mars scientist Eva Scheller who helped make that discovery using NASA data. Get more Martian science: www.nasa.gov/mars

  • We Asked a NASA Scientist: What if an Asteroid Were Going to Hit Earth?

    We Asked a NASA Scientist: What if an Asteroid Were Going to Hit Earth?

    There are no known threats to Earth, but NASA asteroid expert Dr. Kelly Fast says it’s important to find the asteroids before they find us. That’s why NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office keeps its eyes on the skies.

    This November, we’re launching the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART. The test mission will attempt to change the course of an asteroid that is currently no threat to our planet. Get more info at nasa.gov/PlanetaryDefense.

    We Asked a NASA Scientist: What are the Trojan Asteroids?

    What are the Trojan asteroids? These mysterious space rocks have been gravitationally trapped in Jupiter’s orbit around the Sun for billions of years and hold clues to the formation of our solar system. NASA’s Lucy mission will be the first spacecraft to study these ancient relics up close. Scientist Audrey Martin at Northern Arizona University has the details.

  • We Asked a NASA Technologist – Is There Oxygen on Mars?

    We Asked a NASA Technologist – Is There Oxygen on Mars?

    Is there oxygen on Mars? Technically yes, but it’s nothing like the amount we have on Earth. So breathing is out of the question. However, there IS a lot of carbon dioxide (CO2) on Mars. Now a new technology — MOXIE — has proven that we can convert Martian CO2 into oxygen for use by future explorers. NASA engineer Asad Aboobaker tells us more.
