NASA SCoPE Makes a “Splash” at AGU Fall Meeting

NASA SCoPE Makes a "Splash" at AGU Fall Meeting


At the AGU Fall Meeting held in December 2021, the NASA Science Mission Directorate's Community of Practice for Education (SCoPE) program team connected with more than 400 career and early career scientists to share how they can get involved with NASA Science Activation (SciAct) program as Subject Matter Experts. The SCoPe team raised awareness about SciAct during an innovation session by playing The Connect Game, a 60's themed demonstration of how scientists connect with SciAct's education and communication experts. Additionally, the NASA booth provided more information on SciAct and SCoPE via information offered at various tables, a Hyperwall presentation, and the Gone Fishin' game, which provided more opportunities for visitors to learn more about SciAct projects (fish) in various NASA Science Mission Directorate divisions (pools). Out of the 163 participants who scanned their badges in order to opt-in to the SciAct/SCoPE community, 21 identified as undergraduate students, 93 identified as graduate students, and 49 identified as professionals.

Learning area of the NASA booth showing inflatable swimming pools filled with fish, balls, etc. In the background is a backdrop of a lake with the title of Gone Fishin' NASA SCoPE and a large inflatable duck in front of it. Around the area, people are using fishing poles to catch fish, scan QR codes, and gathering giveaways.

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Reaches Top of Jezero Crater Rim

The road ahead will be even more scientifically intriguing, and probably somewhat easier-going, now that the six-wheeler has completed its long climb to the top. NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has crested the top of Jezero Crater’s rim at a location the science team calls “Lookout Hill” and rolling toward its first science stop after the […]

Hundreds of overlapping objects at various distances are spread across this field. Galaxies’ colors vary. The majority appear orange, pink, and white, some are shades of orange or blue. Most galaxies appear as fuzzy ovals, but a few have distinctive spiral arms. At the very center is a tiny galaxy nicknamed Firefly Sparkle that looks like a long, angled, dotted line. Smaller companions are nearby.

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.
