NASA's Artemis III Moon Rocket: Core Stage Engine Section Arrives at Kennedy

Following the success of Artemis I, this is the core stage engine section of the NASA Space Launch System (SLS) rocket that will deliver the first person of color and the first woman to the Moon on the Artemis III Mission.

Teams from NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, Louisiana, delivered this Space Launch System (SLS) core stage engine section for Artemis III to the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Saturday, December 10, 2022.

As NASA moves forward with SLS production and assembly for future Artemis missions, technicians at the spaceport are beginning core stage assembly and outfitting activities beginning with the Artemis III Moon rocket. In tandem, teams at Michoud will continue to manufacture the remaining four other elements of the 212-foot-tall core stage.

Teams transferred the engine section from the Pegasus barge to the center’s Space Station Processing Facility where teams will begin processing operations ahead of final integration in the Vehicle Assembly Building.

Crews at Kennedy then loaded a launch vehicle stage adapter transportation stand onto the Pegasus for delivery to NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, to support operations for the Artemis II mission and beyond.

Space Sparks: Hubble Takes a Grand Tour of The Outer Solar System

Space Sparks: Hubble Takes a Grand Tour of The Outer Solar System

Space Sparks Episode 8: This is the NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope's most recent annual grand tour of the outer Solar System. This is the realm of the giant planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—extending as far as 30 times the distance between Earth and the Sun. Unlike the rocky terrestrial planets like Earth and Mars that huddle close to the Sun’s warmth, these far-flung worlds are mostly composed of chilly gaseous soups of hydrogen, helium, ammonia, and methane around a packed, intensely hot, compact core.

Galaxies in Fornax: One of a Pair | Hubble Space Telescope

Galaxies in Fornax: One of a Pair | Hubble Space Telescope

In this image, the NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope peers into the spiral galaxy NGC 1317 in the constellation Fornax, more than 50 million light-years from Earth. This galaxy is one of a pair, but NGC 1317’s rowdy larger neighbor NGC 1316 lies outside Hubble’s field of view. Despite the absence here of its neighboring galaxy, NGC 1317 is accompanied in this image by two objects from very different parts of the Universe. The bright point ringed with a criss-cross pattern is a star from our own galaxy surrounded by diffraction spikes, whereas the redder elongated smudge is a distant galaxy lying far beyond NGC 1317.

The data presented in this image are from a vast observing campaign of hundreds of observations from Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys. Combined with data from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) research facility in the Atacama desert, these observations help astronomers chart the connections between vast clouds of cold gas and the fiercely hot young stars that form within them. ALMA’s unparalleled sensitivity at long wavelengths identified vast reservoirs of cold gas throughout the local Universe, and Hubble’s sharp vision pinpointed clusters of young stars, as well as measuring their ages and masses. 

Often the most exciting astronomical discoveries require this kind of telescope teamwork, with cutting-edge facilities working together and providing astronomers with information across the electromagnetic spectrum. The same applies to future telescopes, with Hubble’s observations laying the groundwork for future science with the NASA/European Space Agency/Canadian Space Agency James Webb Space Telescope.

A Long-Armed Spiral Galaxy ESO 415-19 | Hubble

A Long-Armed Spiral Galaxy ESO 415-19 | Hubble

The peculiar spiral galaxy ESO 415-19, which lies around 450 million light-years away, stretches lazily across this image from the NASA/European Space Agency (ESA) Hubble Space Telescope. While the center of this object resembles a regular spiral galaxy, long streams of stars stretch out from the galactic core like bizarrely elongated spiral arms. These are tidal streams caused by some chance interaction in the galaxy’s past, and give ESO 415-19 a distinctly peculiar appearance.

Image description: A spiral galaxy. It has a bright core with patches of dark dust, and fuzzier, dimmer spiral arms in cooler colors, with spots of bright blue. Long, faint tidal streams stretch from the galaxy’s arms: one up to the top of the frame, one curving down to the bottom-left corner. In the top-right there is a smaller, orange elliptical galaxy. The background is studded with many tiny stars and galaxies.

ESO 415-19’s peculiarity made it a great target for Hubble. This observation comes from an ongoing campaign to explore the Arp Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, a menagerie of some of the weirdest and most wonderful galaxies that the Universe has to offer. These galaxies range from bizarre lonesome galaxies to spectacularly interacting galaxy pairs, triplets, and even quintets. These space oddities are spread throughout the night sky, which means that Hubble can spare a moment to observe them as it moves between other observational targets.

This particular observation lies in a part of the night sky contained by the Fornax constellation. This constellation was also the site of a particularly important Hubble observation; the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. Creating the Ultra Deep Field required almost a million seconds of Hubble time, and captured nearly 10,000 galaxies of various ages, sizes, shapes, and colors. Just as climate scientists can recreate the planet’s atmospheric history from ice cores, astronomers can use deep field observations to explore slices of the Universe’s history from the present all the way to when the Universe was only 800 million years old!

Best of 2022: The Pillars of Creation | James Webb Space Telescope

Best of 2022: The Pillars of Creation | James Webb Space Telescope

Compare NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope mid-infrared light image of the Pillars of Creation to its near-infrared light image in this short video tour. Thousands of stars have formed in this region, but interstellar dust cloaks the scene in mid-infrared light, which is why the majority of the stars appear to be missing. A quick dissolve to the near-infrared image proves they are still there, of course.

While mid-infrared light specializes in detailing where dust is—and these pillars are flush with dust and gas—many stars in this region aren’t dusty enough to appear at these wavelengths. 

Instead, mid-infrared light reveals which of the young stars still have their dusty “cloaks.” These are the crimson orbs toward the fringes of the pillars. In contrast, the blue stars that dot the scene are aging, which means they have already shed most of their layers of gas and dust.

How vast is this landscape? This bright red star and its dusty shroud are larger than the size of our entire solar system.

Earth: Landsat and Our Tilted Planet | United States Geological Survey (USGS)

Earth: Landsat and Our Tilted Planet | United States Geological Survey (USGS)

"We would not have seasons here on Earth if not for the planet's 23.5 degree axial tilt. Axial tilt is also known as obliquity. Earth's obliquity and its relationship with the sun give us two solstice points and two equinox points. As we orbit through each solstice and equinox, the amount and angle of daylight change. A 12-month sequence of Landsat imagery shows how much each month can differ, especially away from the equator. In extreme northern latitudes, sunlight during the winter solstice is so limited that daytime Landsat imagery is not available, while Antarctica receives long hours of daylight in the extreme southern latitudes. This multi-path swath of Landsat imagery in the Western Hemisphere shows the big picture. It contains only cloudy Landsat images, which are brighter and help show the change from north to south as the seasonal angle of the sun changes."

Introducing: NASA's Earth System Observatory | Goddard Space Flight Center

Introducing: NASA's Earth System Observatory | Goddard Space Flight Center

NASA is developing the Earth System Observatory, the core of which is five satellite missions providing critical data on climate change, severe weather and other natural hazards, wildfires, and global food production. These observations will address the most pressing questions about our changing planet.

Taken together as a single Observatory, NASA will have a holistic, 3D view of Earth to better understand how our planet’s complex systems work together and improve our capability to predict how our climate may change. NASA’s Open Source Science strategy is the key to bringing the data from these missions together into a single observatory to help understand the earth as a system and accelerate our ability to use this understanding. These observations will better inform decision-makers on how our planet is changing, with greater precision on previously unimaginable scales—from entire continents down to individual trees, from atmosphere to bedrock.

The Milky Way Galaxy at Northam, Western Australia

The Milky Way Galaxy at Northam, Western Australia

Astrophotographer Trevor Dobson: "This is a 31 shot panorama of the Milky Way setting above a lone tree near Northam, 1.5 hours east of Perth in Western Australia."

"This was one of multiple lone tree compositions I shot this night, but unfortunately, I couldn't quite get a full panorama out of this one due to the northern edge of the Milky Way core going beyond the field the tree is located in. I would have gotten an ugly bit of gravel road and an intrusive tree on that side of the foreground cluttering up the image. So I ended up doing just a three quarter pano but I do like how the arc of the Milky Way complements the arc of the horizon. :)"

The light pollution is from Northam, one of the largest towns in the Wheatbelt region.

The Fading Milky Way

Light pollution is a growing environmental problem that threatens to erase the night sky before its time. A recent study revealed that perhaps two-thirds of the world's population can no longer look upwards at night and see the Milky Way—a hazy swath of stars that on warm summer nights spans the sky from horizon to horizon.

The Milky Way is dimming, not because the end of the Universe is near, but rather as a result of light pollution: the inadvertent illumination of the atmosphere from street lights, outdoor advertising, homes, schools, airports and other sources. Every night billions of bulbs send their energy skyward where microscopic bits of matter—air molecules, airborne dust, and water vapor droplets—reflect much of the wasted light back to Earth.
