Bringing NASA Science to the the 2022 Space Exploration Educators Conference

Bringing NASA Science to the the 2022 Space Exploration Educators Conference


Several NASA Science Activation (SciAct) project teams collaborated to conduct three hybrid workshops on February 10th, 2022, for the 2022 Space Exploration Educators Conference (SEEC) at Space Center Houston. The three workshop sessions:

  1. NASA Science: Getting Ready for the Next Solar Eclipse (coordinated by Sharon Bowers);
  2. NASA Science: Hands-On Exploration of Our Solar System (coordinated by Joelle Clark and Lori Rubino-Hare); and
  3. NASA Science: Exploring NASA Science Missions (coordinated by Christine Shupla)

highlighted NASA Science and incorporated SciAct activities, resources, and Subject Matter Experts from eight different Science Activation project teams. Activities were collaboratively facilitated by in-person and remote SciAct team members for a captivated audience of more than 116 formal and informal educators. Resources for the Solar Eclipse session, including a digital scavenger hunt, are available online: https://www.livebinders.com/b/2963795.

NASA’s Near Space Network Enables PACE Climate Mission to ‘Phone Home’

The PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) mission has delivered its first operational data back to researchers, a feat made possible in part by innovative, data-storing technology from NASA’s Near Space Network, which introduced two key enhancements for PACE and other upcoming science missions. As a satellite orbits in space, its systems generate critical data […]

SWOT Satellite Helps Gauge the Depth of Death Valley’s Temporary Lake

Data from the international Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission helped researchers to calculate the depth of water in this transient freshwater body. California’s Death Valley, the driest place in North America, has hosted an ephemeral lake since late 2023. A NASA-led analysis recently calculated water depths in the temporary lake over several weeks in […]

NASA’s PACE Data on Ocean, Atmosphere, Climate Now Available

NASA is now publicly distributing science-quality data from its newest Earth-observing satellite, providing first-of-their-kind measurements of ocean health, air quality, and the effects of a changing climate. The Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) satellite was launched on Feb. 8, and has been put through several weeks of in-orbit testing of the spacecraft and instruments to ensure […]

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
