ScienceCasts: NASA's Next Great Space Telescope Assembly of NASA's next great space observatory, the James Webb Space Telescope, is underway. It will show researchers the first stars and galaxies that formed in the early universe.

NASA Earth Observatory 2019 brought many memorable events on Planet Earth. NASA satellites and astronauts captured a lot of the action from new discoveries to tracking natural events to capturing amazing scenery. Here are a few highlights from around the globe.

ScienceCasts: NASA Spacecraft takes Space GPS to New Heights NASA's MMS spacecraft are flying around Earth in a precise formation made possible by an out-of-this-world system of GPS navigators.

Colliding Galaxies: James Webb Space Telescope Science Galaxies were built up through collisions and mergers, but this process isn't over - and our own Milky Way galaxy provides a prime example of how it continues today.

NASA ScienceCasts: Earth's Magnetosphere Enveloping our planet and protecting us from the fury of the Sun is the magnetosphere, a key to helping Earth develop into a habitable planet.

Mars Wind Currents Reveal a Surprising Feature MAVEN is the first spacecraft specifically designed to study the Mars upper atmosphere, in order to better understand the evolution of its climate. By measuring windspeed and direction near the top of the atmosphere, MAVEN has discovered that high-altitude wind currents are being disturbed by terrain features far below. This unexpected and surprising finding means that MAVEN can sense the presence of mountains and valleys on the surface of Mars while skimming the edge of space.

Nasa Caught Redhanded in a Pool Faking Space - Flat Earth 1. This website logically and factually explains why human space travel in orbits around Earth, to the Moon, Mars or anywhere in outer space is not possible, even if rockets actually work in vacuum. There is no way to return on Earth and do a re-entry. You are flying too fast and cannot find the location where to re-enter and land 10 minutes later. 2. The Yuri Gagarin around the Earth 1961 space orbit trip that started the hoax and the US/NASA foolish Moon trips 1969-1972 were simple fantasy and propaganda lies. The latter tricks were created in Hollywood studios to entertain us with useless US navy/air force pilots as actors, etc. All NASA Mercury and Gemini trips around the Earth a little earlier were similar. 3. Reason is simple; it is not possible to get away from planet Earth, land on and take off from the Moon (or Mars) and later make a re-entry and land on Earth again using a thin plate capsule - you are too heavy to start with and going too fast later and you will simply burn up as you cannot brake or reduce speed in the strong gravity field pulling you back to Earth. Same applies to any Shuttle or Soyuz or Dragon capsule, if you visit the International Fake/Space Station. 4. All heat shields protecting space crafts (capsules, shuttles, etc) and InterContinental Ballistic Missiles, ICBMs, at re-entries are useless. They just melt. 5. Imagine when the US and European public finally find out that they have been fooled for more than 50 years by NASA & Co ... and the European Space Agency, ESA,... and media. Media will not do it. They will continue hiding the truth. All is fantasy fakery!

NASA pumps 450,000 gallons of water during 30 second test Water flowed during a test at Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. About 450,000 gallons of water flowed at high speed from a holding tank through new and modified piping and valves, the flame trench, flame deflector nozzles and mobile launcher interface risers during a wet flow test at Launch Complex 39B. At peak flow, the water reached about 100 feet in the air above the pad surface. The test was a milestone to confirm and baseline the performance of the Ignition Overpressure/Sound Suppression system. During launch of NASA's Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft, the high-speed water flow will help protect the vehicle from the extreme acoustic and temperature environment during ignition and liftoff.
