  • Keeping PACE with Ocean Change

    The image is divided vertically in half by the white coastline of Namibia. To the right the land shows in dry tones of beige to amber. To the left, a deep blue Atlantic ocean shows blue-green swirls. At lower left, a swatch of cirrus cloud obscures the ocean.  

    The primary goal of this collaboration was to support and validate science data products from NASA's recently launched Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) satellite mission 

  • NASA’s COFFIES Science Center Makes Breakthrough on Solar Enigma

    A round, colorful cutaway of the Sun identifying different elements: Differential Rotation, Tachocline, Near Surface Shear Layer, Convection, Flux Emergence, Acoustic Waves, Active Region, Surface Velocity, Meridional Circulation

    Editor’s note: This post was updated on July 10,2026, to clarify details on the scientific data visualization, and on July 21, 2026, to correct the description of the illustrated graphic. Researchers working with one of NASA’s DRIVE (Diversify, Realize, Integrate, Venture, Educate) Science Centers are closer to unraveling a long-standing solar mystery surrounding the extreme […]

  • Telescope Milestone: NASA’s Roman Moves Vertical Ahead of Processing

    NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, large spacecraft, wrapped in silver thermal covering is tilted upright on a massive white rotation stand inside a clean room at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Thursday, June 25, 2026. Several technicians in blue clean-room suits and protective gear stand around the base, observing the operation. The spacecraft’s solar arrays are partially deployed overhead.

    NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has completed important prelaunch milestones as it prepares to launch nine months ahead of schedule. Engineers at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida raised Roman from horizontal to vertical, signaling preparations are moving forward for upcoming inspections, functional testing, and integration work. Technicians transferred the observatory to NASA […]

  • ESA’s Euclid Space Telescope Finds Universe’s Most Ancient Quasars

    Artist’s concept of a quasar with a brilliant white center surrounded by a glowing orange and yellow spiral disk of gas, a narrow jet of light extending upward, and a dark, star-filled background.

    Led by ESA (European Space Agency) with contributions from NASA, the Euclid space telescope has discovered 31 of the oldest quasars ever documented. In fact, two are the oldest ever observed, dating back to the universe’s infancy, when it was just 5% of its current age. A new study details the results in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics. A quasar occurs when immense amounts of gas and dust […]

  • Strong Flare Erupts from Sun

    Against a black background, the Sun is shown 3 times horizontally. On each Sun, there is a bright flash on the left. The first Sun is red, the second is gray and white, and the third is blue.

    The Sun emitted a strong solar flare, peaking at 4:41 p.m. ET on July 4. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the Sun constantly, captured an image of the event.  Solar flares are powerful bursts of energy. Flares and solar eruptions can impact radio communications, electric power grids, navigation signals, and pose risks to spacecraft […]
