NASA and Space updates and videos

When it comes to space, humans and robots go way back. We rely heavily on our mechanical friends to perform tasks that are too dangerous, difficult, or out of reach for us humans. We’re even working on a new generation of robots that will help us explore in advanced and novel ways. Learn more about the CADRE—Cooperative Autonomous Distributed Robotic Exploration—project and how this new network of mini rovers could enable future self-guided robotic exploration of the Moon, Mars, and beyond. https://go.nasa.gov/3k5EuZx Producers: Scott Bednar, Jessica Wilde Editor: James Lucas Link to download this video: https://images.nasa.gov/details/Do%20...

NASA revealed the first five full-color images and spectrographic data from the world's most powerful space telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope, a partnership with ESA (European Space Agency), and CSA (Canadian Space Agency). The world got its first look at the full capabilities of the mission at a live event streamed from the agency's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, on July 12, 2022. The event showcased these targets: - Carina Nebula: A landscape speckled with glittering stars and cosmic cliffs - Stephan’s Quintet: An enormous mosaic with a visual grouping of five galaxies - Southern Ring Nebula: A nebula with rings of gas and dust for thousands of years in all directions - WASP 96-b: A distinct signature of water in the atmosphere of an exoplanet orbiting a distant Sun-like star - SMACS 0723: The deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date Credit: NASA
