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 PACE, US-European SWOT Satellites Offer Combined Look at Ocean

One Earth satellite can see plankton that photosynthesize. The other measures water surface height. Together, their data reveals how sea life and the ocean are intertwined. The ocean is an engine that drives Earth’s weather patterns and climate and sustains a substantial portion of life on the planet. A new animation based on data from […]

NASA’s C-20A Studies Extreme Weather Events

On a changing planet, where phenomena like severe hurricanes, landslides, and wildfires are becoming more severe, scientists need data to assess and model disaster impacts and to potentially make predictions about hazards. NASA’s C-20A aircraft is a significant asset that can carry key instruments for understanding the science behind these phenomena.  Based at NASA’s Armstrong […]

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.
