NASA’s ASTRO CAMP Community Partners Reach 3rd/4th Grade Students

NASA's ASTRO CAMP Community Partners Reach 3rd/4th Grade Students


On October 20th, NASA's ASTRO CAMP® Community Partners (ACCP) team provided materials and virtually led a hands-on aeronautics activity introducing third and fourth grade students to the forces of flight and the engineering and design process. This was done as part of a recent "Lights On After School" event put together for all six Boys and Girls Clubs of the Gulf Coast, a collaboration with NASA, Million Girls Moonshot, and Afterschool Alliance that included prerecorded Astronaut footage of Jessica Watson and actress Keke Palmer.

NASA's ASTRO CAMP® Community Partners is supported by NASA and is part of NASA’s Science Activation Portfolio.

Powerful New US-Indian Satellite Will Track Earth’s Changing Surface

Data from NISAR will improve our understanding of such phenomena as earthquakes, volcanoes, and landslides, as well as damage to infrastructure. We don’t always notice it, but much of Earth’s surface is in constant motion. Scientists have used satellites and ground-based instruments to track land movement associated with volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, and other phenomena. But […]

A spiral galaxy with an oval-shaped disk. Two large arms curve out away from the ends of the disk. Bright pink patches and dark reddish threads of dust fill the arms. The bright pink patches indicate where stars are forming. The core is very bright and filled with stars. Some large stars appear in front of the galaxy. Directly under the point where the right arm joins the disk, a fading supernova is visible as a green dot.

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.
