NASA SCoPE Recruiting Scientists and Engineers in Support of NASA’s Heliophysics Big Year

NASA SCoPE Recruiting Scientists and Engineers in Support of NASA’s Heliophysics Big Year


NASA’s Heliophysics Big Year (HBY), a global celebration of solar science and the Sun’s influence on Earth and the entire solar system, will begin with the annular eclipse (October, 2023) and end with Parker Solar Probe’s closest approach to the Sun (December, 2024). It will include the total solar eclipse (April, 2024) and aurora citizen science opportunities leading up to the solar maximum of 2025.

Starting in 2023, NASA Science Activation teams will be conducting outreach and hosting a variety of HBY events to engage the general public and learners of all ages in NASA solar science activities. The NASA Science Mission Directorate Community of Practice for Education (NASA SCoPE) is recruiting, training, and providing funding for scientists and engineers to get involved in and support these events and began recruiting during the American Astronomical Society (AAS) Winter Conference, held in Seattle, Washington, January 8-12, 2023.

Funding and training are available for qualified scientist and engineer candidates in exchange for time investment in activities such as:

- Virtual and in-person presentations or interviews
- Content and materials review
- Event participation such as demos and activities
- Facilitation of events or materials

To learn more and get involved, please visit SCoPE's HBY website: https://scope.asu.edu/big-helio-year/

The NASA SCoPE project is supported by NASA under cooperative agreement award number 80NSSC21M0006 and is part of NASA’s Science Activation Portfolio.

NASA’s CloudSat Ends Mission Peering Into the Heart of Clouds

Over the course of nearly two decades, its powerful radar provided never-before-seen details of clouds and helped advance global weather and climate predictions. CloudSat, a NASA mission that peered into hurricanes, tallied global snowfall rates, and achieved other weather and climate firsts, has ended its operations. Originally proposed as a 22-month mission, the spacecraft was […]

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.
