El astronauta Frank Rubio explora la novela gráfica "La primera mujer" en el espacio

El astronauta de la NASA Frank Rubio explora nuestra novela gráfica " La primera mujer" y responde a preguntas de estudiantes desde la Estación Espacial Internacional.

 "La primera mujer" cuenta la historia de Callie Rodríguez, la primera mujer en explorar la Luna. Aunque Callie es un personaje de ficción, la primera mujer astronauta y la primera persona no blanca pisarán pronto la Luna, un hito histórico que forma parte de las próximas misiones Artemis de la NASA.

En el volumen 1, "Del sueño a la realidad", sigue la trayectoria pionera de Callie mientras ella y su compañero robot, RT, superan contratiempos, decepciones y tragedias a lo largo del camino. Desde sus sueños infantiles de viajar al espacio hasta ser seleccionada como candidata a astronauta, Callie nos lleva en su viaje a la Luna.

NASA Astronaut Frank Rubio Explores ‘First Woman’ Graphic Novel

NASA Astronaut Frank Rubio Explores ‘First Woman’ Graphic Novel

NASA Astronaut Frank Rubio explores our “First Woman” graphic novel and answers questions from students aboard the International Space Station. Frank is currently serving as a flight engineer for the Expedition 68/69 long-duration missions.

"First Woman" tells the tale of Callie Rodriguez, the first woman to explore the Moon. While Callie is a fictional character, the first female astronaut and person of color will soon set foot on the Moon—a historic milestone and part of upcoming NASA Artemis missions. Following two Artemis test missions, Artemis III, now planned for 2025, will mark humanity’s first return to the lunar surface in more than 50 years. NASA will make history by sending the first humans to explore the region near the lunar South Pole.

Issue No. 1: Dream to Reality follows Callie's trailblazing path as she and her robot sidekick, RT, overcome setbacks, disappointment, and tragedy along the way. From her childhood dreams of space travel to being selected as an astronaut candidate, Callie takes us on her journey to the Moon.

Studying Snowstorms with NASA’s ER-2 Aircraft | Armstrong Flight Research Center

Studying Snowstorms with NASA’s ER-2 Aircraft | Armstrong Flight Research Center

The ER-2 high-altitude aircraft, based at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center Building 703 in Palmdale, California, supported the study of snowstorms for NASA’s Investigation of Microphysics and Precipitation for Atlantic Coast-Threatening Storms (IMPACTS) mission. 

The aircraft temporarily deployed to Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta, Georgia, and flew over the Midwest and Eastern United States to gather data about snowstorms and the conditions in which they form. Equipped with a suite of scientific instruments, the ER-2 flies at altitudes of about 65,000 feet to get a top-down view of the clouds to measure the properties of storms. 

Data collected during the final deployment of this three-year campaign, along with NASA’s P-3 based at the Wallops Flight Facility in Wallops Island, Virginia, will allow scientists to learn more about snowstorms and will improve meteorological models and the ability to use satellite data to predict how much snow will fall and where.

NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 Flight Day 2 Highlights | International Space Station

NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 Flight Day 2 Highlights | International Space Station

NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Warren Hoburg, United Arab Emirates astronaut Sultan Alneyadi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev (Russia) docked to the zenith port of the Harmony module of the International Space Station March 3, 2023, following a launch the day before on the SpaceX Dragon Endeavour spacecraft aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Following docking, the quartet opened the hatch and floated onboard the orbital outpost before providing welcoming remarks as their mission aboard the space station began.

 The four crew members will conduct a long-duration science mission living and working aboard the microgravity laboratory to advance scientific knowledge and demonstrate new technologies for future human and robotic exploration missions. Such research benefits people on Earth and lays the groundwork for future human exploration through the agency’s Artemis missions, which will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future expeditions to Mars.

Hubble’s Inside The Image: Binary Star System V838 Mon | NASA Goddard

Hubble’s Inside The Image: Binary Star System V838 Mon | NASA Goddard 

The Hubble Space Telescope has taken over 1.5 million observations over the years. One of them is the breathtaking image sequence of the binary star system V838 Monocerotis (V838 Mon). Called a light echo, the expanding illumination of interstellar dust around the star has been revealing remarkable structures in the dusty cloud ever since the star suddenly brightened in January 2002. V838 Mon temporarily became 600,000 times brighter than our Sun, until it faded in April 2002. It was one of the brightest stars in the entire Milky Way. The reason for the eruption is still unclear.

In this video, Dr. Padi Boyd explains this fascinating piece of history, teaching us some of the interesting science behind this famous Hubble image.

Monumental U.S. Storm Brings Severe Winter Weather Coast to Coast | NOAA

A massive winter storm recently made its way across the U.S. Parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas were blasted by severe weather and tornadoes while heavy rain and snow blanketed much of California and parts of the West on Monday, Feb. 27, 2023.

The now well-traveled storm began its journey late last week with an arctic blast in the Pacific Northwest, shutting down much of Oregon’s largest city with almost a foot of snow and paralyzing travel from parts of the Pacific Coast all the way to the northern Plains.

NASA Prepares to Explore Planet Venus with DAVINCI

NASA Prepares to Explore Planet Venus with DAVINCI

Inspired by the Renaissance vision of Leonardo da Vinci, NASA is presently preparing its scientific return to Venus’ atmosphere and surface with a mission known as the “Deep Atmosphere of Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging” (DAVINCI). 

The DAVINCI mission will “take the plunge” into Venus’ enigmatic history using an instrumented deep atmosphere probe spacecraft that will carry five instruments for measuring the chemistry and environments throughout the clouds and to the surface, while also conducting the first descent imaging of a mountain system on Venus known as Alpha Regio, which may represent an ancient continent. In addition, the DAVINCI mission includes two science flybys of Venus during which it will search for clues to mystery molecules in the upper cloud deck while also measuring the rock types in some of Venus highland regions. 

All of these new and unique measurements will make the ‘exoplanet next door’ into a key place for understanding Earth and Venus sized exoplanets that may have similar histories to our sister planet. DAVINCI will pave the way for a series of missions by NASA and the European Space Agency in the 2030s by opening the frontier as it searches for clues to whether Venus harbored oceans and how its atmosphere-climate system evolved over billions of years. DAVINCI’s science will address questions about habitability and how it could be “lost” as rocky planets evolve over time. NASA’s Goddard Space Flight center leads the DAVINCI Mission as the principal investigator (PI) institution.
