  • “Is there wind on the Moon?” đź’¨

    “Is there wind on the Moon?” đź’¨

    Short answer: no. No wind, no rain, no snow.

    With only a very thin atmosphere, and no magnetic field, the Moon can’t protect itself from the elements that come from outer space, making the outlook look bleak for our grey companion.

    What the Moon does experience is solar wind, a stream of tiny particles coming from the Sun.

    During some parts of the month, Earth’s own magnetic field partially shields the Moon from the stream of solar wind particles that constantly bombard it.

  • Is There Potential for Life on Europa? We Asked a NASA Expert

    Is There Potential for Life on Europa? We Asked a NASA Expert

    Is there potential for life on Europa? This icy moon of Jupiter has a massive ocean hidden beneath its icy crust — one that might have the right ingredients for life. Currently en route, our upcoming Europa Clipper mission will explore this mysterious world, searching for clues about its potential habitability. Watch as a NASA scientist explains more.

  • Are There Earthquakes on Other Planets? We Asked a NASA Expert

    Are There Earthquakes on Other Planets? We Asked a NASA Expert

    Are there earthquakes on other planets? There sure are, but we don’t call them earthquakes. Instead, “moonquakes” & “marsquakes” are shaking things up in space. Dr. Jacob Richardson of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center explains more about what otherworldly quakes can teach us about not only the interiors of planetary bodies, but also what’s happening inside Earth.

  • Is There Weather on the Moon? We Asked a NASA Scientist

    Is There Weather on the Moon? We Asked a NASA Scientist

    Is there weather on the Moon? Yes, but not the weather you’re used to. The Sun’s solar wind is a type of “space weather” that can have a big impact on the Moon due to its lack of atmosphere. It can also affect all sorts of things like satellites, electronics and communications. Better understanding how space weather interacts with the Moon will be critical as we send #Artemis astronauts to the lunar surface. https://go.nasa.gov/3WmUB69

  • 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 the Moon? We Asked a NASA Scientist

    Is There Water on the Moon? We Asked a NASA Scientist

    Is there water on the Moon? Yes! But you won’t find pools of liquid H2O on the lunar surface — water on the Moon is mostly in the form of ice.

    Harvesting this water is a critical component of future human deep space exploration, which is why our golf cart-sized VIPER, or the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover, will be traveling to the Moon’s South Pole to search for ice and other potential resources to determine where they came from.

    Are There Rivers and Lakes on Other Worlds? We Asked a NASA Scientist

    Are there rivers and lakes on other worlds? You bet. Just like Earth, Saturn’s moon Titan is home to these fairly unique features, except these lakes and rivers aren’t filled with water. Planetary scientist Dr. Sarah Hörst spills the science tea: https://go.nasa.gov/2QzAAIt

    Are There Rainbows on Mars? We Asked a NASA Expert

    Are there rainbows on Mars? Sadly, no. But there are a whole lot of other conditions on Mars that we have right here on Earth! NASA scientist Mark Lemmon explains why the Red Planet is a rainbowless world. Get more Martian science: www.nasa.gov/mars

    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

    Are There Oceans on Other Worlds? We Asked a NASA Expert

    Are there oceans on other worlds? Yes! Earth is not alone. When you look deeper into our solar system, there are worlds we suspect have oceans hidden beneath their icy surfaces. NASA scientist Lucas Paganini is here to tell you more. Learn more about ocean worlds: https://go.nasa.gov/3rD0zlO

    We Asked a NASA Technologist: Is there Weather on Mars?

    Is there weather on Mars? Short answer: yes! And just like on Earth it varies wildly. Now, thanks to the Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer, or MEDA instrument on NASA’s Perseverance Mars Rover, we’re learning even more about Martian meteorology with daily weather reports. Over to JosĂ© Antonio RodrĂ­guez-Manfredi at the Spanish Astrobiology Center for more. Find out more about MEDA: https://go.nasa.gov/3lNuKWK

  • NASA 60th: What’s Out There

    NASA 60th: What’s Out There

    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

    Are we there yet?

    After a 10-year journey, Rosetta and Philae are impatient to arrive at their destination!

    In July 2014, the public were invited to join the “Rosetta, are we there yet?” campaign, a photo contest to support the last leg of the spacecraft’s epic 10-year voyage to comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.
