NASA shows the first real photos of the new system with the Trappist-1

Since two weeks ago an international group of scientists announced the discovery of a solar system with seven planets like Earth, we had seen only artistic recreations and even promotional posters of imaginary tourist trips to those new worlds. Now NASA shows us a real and moving images of the star of this system, Trappist-1, thanks to its Kepler space telescope.

NASA wants to exceed the speed of light

Nobody is surprised that NASA wishes to exceed the speed of light, which to our knowledge is the fastest in the universe. Most potentially habitable planets found the U.S. space agency are several light years away, meaning that for many years we would need to travel at the speed of light to reach them. This is no doubt a problem, because currently we are not able to achieve even a tenth of the speed of light, although the agency supergeniuses already working on it.

Physicist Harold G. White hopes to use speed travel "warp" (or push warp ) to exceed the speed of light.

NASA selected the advanced technological concepts for further development

NASA has selected 12 proposals, including two from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena (of California), for the study of the first phase of the Subsidiary Innovative Concepts (NIAC). The program focuses on a detailed study and elaboration of existing concepts without specific algorithm they use to humans. Thus, through this process, it is planned to make a series of scientific fantasies into reality.

NASA Moon Probe Helps Pin Down Off-Planet Driving Record

A 1970s Soviet rover did indeed travel about 3 miles farther on the surface of the moon than originally thought, meaning that any robot hoping to break its off-world distance record will have to run a full marathon, researchers say.

The remote-controlled Lunokhod 2 moon rover was long thought to have traveled 23 miles (37 kilometers) on the lunar surface back in 1973. But a Russian team recently upped the estimate to 26 miles (42 kilometers), using images snapped by NASA's sharp-eyed Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

NASA Spacecraft Photographs Pluto's Largest Moon Charon

A NASA spacecraft bound for Pluto has captured its first photo of the dwarf planet's largest moon Charon, a cosmic snapshot snapped from nearly 550 million miles away.

The new Charon photo was taken by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, which is closing in on Pluto and due to fly by the icy world in July 2015. The black-and-white image shows Charon as a dim object that is near, but clearly separate from, the brighter object that is Pluto.

NASA probes TWINS: five years of observations of ring current Earth

Land surrounds the dynamic area, which accept the name of the magnetosphere. This area is controlled by the magnetic and electric forces coming from the sun energy and matter, as well as a variety of waves and processes that differ from those that are commonly found in terrestrial physics. Within this constantly changing magnetic "bubble" is toroidal formation of charged particles, the plane of which coincides with the plane of Earth's equator.

Most excellent photo of the Sun from NASA


Astronomers from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (NASA) for the first time took a photo of our central achiever in high definition.

We have not had time to approve of the photographs of the Sun made by Solar Dynamics Observatory, but this time the picture was in use in a high resolution, which officials said NASA, that smooth the most modern TV Ultra-HD TV cannot show it at full resolution.

Spacecraft "Solar Dynamics Observatory" (Solar Dynamics Observatory / SDO), launched by the American space agency, in February 2010, is "guilty" of the most stunning images of solar flares.

NASA explore are preparing for the lunar landing


Lunar orbiting spacecraft, NASA, which allowed scientists to learn more about the internal structure and composition of the Moon, are preparing for a controlled landing on a mountain near the North Pole of the Moon on December 17. Probes are sent to the lunar surface on purpose, because their low orbit and the low fuel level prevent further scientific activities.

NASA wants to send a space satellite of Jupiter


NASA said that they think about how to send the unit to a satellite of Jupiter - Europe, which is the fourth largest moon, the largest planet in the solar system. One of the ideas is enclosed to send orbiter, which will make multiple flybys of the satellite and study it to find ice under the surface of the posterior probability of Europe Ocean.

In California, the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, claim that the Office coordinated the project advance the orbital unit around Europe.

NASA has found the use of the Moon: the ship graveyard


Permanent satellite of our planet - the moon has a significant impact on the process in the world. Effect of its gravity resolves the level of magnetic field strength, the ebb and flow in different parts of the world ocean. In addition, it is no secret that a certain phase of the moon can affect the health of people. However, it seems, will soon receive a satellite, another function,
